And then there is Tojinbo, a series of basalt cliffs formed by volcanic action 12 million years ago. Visitors can scamper over
the totally awesome rocks and cliff formations. (Those familiar with Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway will love this). The views of the
nearby cliffs, the craggy rocks and the crashing waters of the Sea of Japan are spectacular, to say the least. Even on crowd ed
weekends you can always find a quiet nook for private introspection and reflection on the scenery. And of course there are the
usual amenities for the souvenir, grilled seafood, don’t feed the hawks…crowd.
That evening, back in Fukui, we ate at Akiyoshi Yakitori—good food and a fun, loud, friendly atmosphere.
