The Old Mackerel Road to Kyoto | Wakasa, Fukui — Hidden Japan in Autumn

This time, we traveled to Wakasa in autumn! We strolled through Kumagawa-juku, a historic post town on the Saba Kaido (Mackerel Road), and visited Uriwari Falls—one of Japan's 100 Best Waters—as well as Wakasahiko Shrine and Mantokuji Temple⛩️ In the evening, we enjoyed seasonal fugu (pufferfish) cuisine at Wakasa Fugu no Yado Shimojo🐡 The next day, we made a few stops along Wakasa Bay and the Tagarasu Rice Terraces on our way to the Mikata Five Lakes! From Rainbow Line Summit Park, we took in a sweeping view of the five lakes and the Sea of Japan We hope you enjoy this autumn journey through Wakasa as if you were traveling with us🍁 📕 Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:45 About Wakasa 2:44 Kumagawa-juku 9:10 Marushin 10:47 Uriwari Falls 13:37 Wakasahime Shrine (Lower Shrine of Wakasahiko Shrine) 15:09 Wakasahiko Shrine (Upper Shrine) 17:15 Mantokuji Temple 21:12 Wakasa Fugu no Yado Shimojo 26:49 Morning by Wakasa Bay 31:43 Drive-in Yoshida 32:52 Rainbow Line Summit Park 📍 Places Visited ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Kumagawa-juku https://maps.app.goo.gl/CKpjkRRcS38iY...
