Insider tip — Nagisa no Yu, the waterfront spring, serves Echizen-cho on the wild Echizen coast of Fukui Prefecture where the Sea of Japan delivers the prized Echizen snow crab (Echizen kani) — one of Japan most celebrated winter delicacies whose fishing season from November to March brings Fukui cooking to national prominence. The Echizen coastal cliffs between Takahama and Tsuruga are among the most dramatic in Honshu, where basalt sea stacks and wave-carved caves create the rugged Japan Sea landscape known as the Ura Nihon (Hidden Japan) coast.
