Insider tip — Kenko no Mori, the health forest community center, serves the coastal fringe of Fukui City on the Wakasa Bay shore where the Japan Sea current moderates the climate of this Echizen coastal community. Fukui Prefecture is internationally famous as Japan leading producer of eyeglass frames — the Sabae City eyeglass industry accounts for over 90 percent of all frames manufactured in Japan — and Fukui City itself gained new momentum as a Hokuriku shinkansen terminus when the 2024 extension brought the capital within 2 hours of the city.
