Insider tip — Picnic Garden at Rokuroshi Kogen serves the highland plateau above Katsuyama City at approximately 1,000 metres elevation with panoramic views over the Ono Basin and the distant peaks of the Hakusan volcanic range. The Katsuyama highlands are the heart of Japan dinosaur country — the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum below is one of the three great dinosaur museums of Asia — and the plateau meadows and beech forests surrounding this highland resort sit atop the geological formations where the original Fukuiraptor fossil discovery transformed the scientific understanding of Asian Cretaceous fauna.
