- Attraction Introduction -
- Mysterious Lakes of Three Directions and Five Lakes
Known as the "Mysterious Lakes," the Mikata Gotago (Three Lakes of Mikata) consists of five interconnected lakes. Due to differences in water depth and salinity, the lake water displays different shades of blue depending on the weather and light. The lakes and mountains complement each other, offering different views in each season, making it one of the most representative natural wonders on the Sea of Japan side.
- Rainbow Line Hilltop Park
Located above the Sankata Goko (Three Lakes) scenic viewpoint, you can take a cable car or chairlift to the summit for a breathtaking panoramic view of the five lakes meeting the Sea of Japan. The summit features several themed observation decks and relaxation areas, including a sofa terrace, a sky chair, and a foot bath, allowing you to unwind while enjoying the dreamlike scenery of the lakes and sea merging into one. As the weather and light change, the lake surface displays different shades of blue and green, making it a popular spot for photography and social media check-ins.
- Japanese seafood market
Located in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture, the Japan Sea Fish Market is one of the largest seafood markets on the Sea of Japan side, bustling with numerous seafood shops and food stalls. Fresh catches from the Sea of Japan are delivered daily, offering everything from crabs, sweet shrimp, and sashimi to various seafood bowls and sushi, allowing travelers to freely choose their favorite dishes and fully enjoy the rich flavors of the sea. In addition to dining on-site, the market also sells various dried seafood, pickled products, and unique souvenirs, satisfying both dining and shopping needs in one place. Immersed in the vibrant fishing port atmosphere, it offers the most authentic Sea of Japan experience, making it a must-visit popular attraction combining delicious food and engaging activities.
- Sanjusangendo (Plan A)
Sanjusangendo Temple is famous for enshrining 1,001 statues of the Thousand-Armed Kannon. The temple features a 120-meter-long wooden corridor with neatly arranged Buddha statues, creating a magnificent and solemn atmosphere. It is one of Kyoto's representative historical and cultural sites.
- Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Option A)
The 2.4-kilometer-long avenue lined with towering bald cypress trees offers different views in each season: lush green in spring and summer, golden in autumn, and covered in snow in winter. It's like walking through a natural tunnel that changes with the seasons, making it a very popular tourist attraction in the Kansai region.
- Amanohashidate, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan (Option B)
Amanohashidate, listed as one of the three scenic wonders of Japan, is a natural sandbar that spans Miyazu Bay. It is about 3.6 kilometers long and is lined with thousands of pine trees. From a distance, it looks like a flying dragon connecting heaven and earth, hence the name "Amanohashidate".
Here, you can not only stroll along the pine forest trail and get up close to the natural landscape where the sea and sandbar intertwine, but also experience the unique local "upside-down view (股のぞき)"—viewing the sandbar upside down between your legs, it seems to transform into a bridge to the sky, a fun experience not to be missed.
The changing seasons add different charms to Amanohashidate: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snow in winter, each with its own unique character. Whether you climb to the observation deck for a panoramic view or take a leisurely stroll, it is one of the most representative scenic spots in the Kansai region.
Located in Wakasa Bay Quasi-National Park in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, this group of stunning lakes consists of five lakes: Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Sugata, Lake Kukuko, and Lake Hyuga. Because of the different water qualities of each lake, they display different colors, hence the name "Five-Colored Lakes".
Take a cable car or mountain bike up the mountain to enjoy the magnificent view of the five-colored lakes and the Sea of Japan, overlooking the breathtaking scenery that resembles a painting.
The hilltop park is not just a single observation deck, but consists of multiple themed viewing spaces; the most unique experience is to soak your feet in the foot bath while taking in the magnificent views of the Sanpō Gokho and the Sea of Japan, enjoying a relaxing and therapeutic time.
In winter, the Sanfang Five Lakes transform into a low-key and serene place, presenting a minimalist and pure natural beauty.
Autumn is one of the most popular seasons at the Sanpō Gotō Lakes, when the forests are ablaze with red, orange, and golden leaves, creating a rich tapestry of colors against the lake's surface. ★The best time to view the autumn foliage at the Sanpō Gotō Lakes is typically from early to late November.
Indulge in freshly caught seafood at the largest fish market in the Sea of Japan, savoring the most authentic Wakasa seafood flavors. The must-try is the top-quality winter delicacy—crab, with the "Echizen crab" from Fukui being the most famous.
Sanjusangendo, one of the longest wooden buildings in Japan, is approximately 120 meters long. The "thirty-three bays" refers to the 33 bays between the pillars.
Taking the Kyoto Tango Railway from Nishi-Maizuru to Amanohashidate is a therapeutic railway journey that combines sea views with local charm, and is a classic experience on the "Kyoto by the Sea" route.
The "Hiryukan" (飛龍觀) at Amanohashidate is one of the most classic and impressive vantage points for appreciating Amanohashidate. From this vantage point, the entire sandbar appears as if a giant dragon is soaring through the air, hence the name "Hiryukan".
