About Fukui Prefecture - "Zen, Alive. Fukui"

Fukui Prefecture sits almost at the center of the Sea of Japan side of the Japanese archipelago, and thanks to its beautiful nature and healthy food culture, it has prospered as the northern gateway to Kyoto.

There, the spirit of the "Zen" school of Buddhism is still alive and can be felt not only in the local lifestyle and culture but throughout the Prefecture: its beauty of nature as seen at the Tojinbo Cliffs or in the snowy Hakusan mountain range, its rich food culture including the "Echizen Gani" crab, the only type of crab presented to the Imperial Family, and its traditional arts and crafts such as Echizen Paper with more than 1,500 years of history, to name but a few.

Fukui Prefecture always welcomes you, and through its exclusive programs, you'll have an opportunity to experience the Zen spirit for yourself while discovering what it truly means to you!
