Fukui: Tourists Should Know These Places!

I’ve traveled Japan for over 12 years, and I never thought Fukui was a place I would plan to visit. It's far from home, not close to any of the major tourist cities...but let me tell you this place is incredible.
I came to Fukui for the $15,000 House in Japan video with Ralph, and while I was there he took me on an adventure that would change the way I look at Japan forever.
There are parts of this trip hit me at my core, and I think that this is a place everyone should visit. I hope you enjoy joining me on this adventure as much as I had exploring Fukui!

    I'm a Japanese who was born and living at Fukui. I had so fun through this video cause my neighborhood are shown many times. Thanks introducing about Fukui.

    I am visiting Japan and will be in Sabae around the beginning of November. I was trying to look into the local transportation. As I won't have a car. I am excited to see the garden and the pandas but I also am looking forward to maybe getting a pair of glasses made. Would love any insight from a local. Thanks

    great video! Fukui so underated and glad covered this time! Eiheiji is one of the most surreal temples and Tojimbo also stunning! Fukui also offers a variety of local foods including ramens! I hope to see more videos like this one Japan has way many more places deserving attention other than Tokyo!

    Nice video. I have lived in Fukui for about 2 years now. It's a good place (to visit). Here are some pros and cons from my own opinion about living in Fukui, if you are interested. Overall, you will have a good time here...for a while. Pros: Amazing food Beautiful nature Decent beaches ...That's it really Cons: Ugly cities (very boxy and industrial looking. This is typical in Japan) A lot of traffic Poorly maintained and designed road systems Crazy snow storms in the winter Poor public transport (you really need a car here) People are very xenophobic About 3.5 hours away from closest international airport The schools are very old with out dated interior as if from the 80's (if you were going to teach here)

    住んでみてとても好きで、気にいってくれている外国人もいらっしゃいます。 本当に酷い事を書く人ですね。 醜い都市だなんて。 地方ではどこも車は必須です。福井だけでは有りません。 吹雪がどこがクレイジー? 雪国の普通の景色です。 吹雪がいやなら、最初から暖かい所に住めば良かったでしょう!!💢😡先に調べれば雪国かそうでないかくらい、そんな事もわからなかったのですか? 福井の事を、終わってから悪く言い、私達の心を傷つける。 醜い都市? あなたの心が醜く、だから嫌われたのでしょう。 外国人をみな嫌う福井人では有りません。ちゃんとどんな人間か観察しています。 文章からみて、少し冷たく偉そうな態度が感じられます。
