For a day by the water with a difference, organize an outing to the bubbling pools of Shikibu Onsen Yurari. This spot is known for its mineral-rich thermal waters.
This naturally heated water source is often on the itineraries of travelers to Echizen. But Shikibu Onsen Yurari isn't the only highlight in the area. Kitahama Ship Owner's House Ukon-ke, Bankeiji Temple, and Chiro's Birthplace Memorial Museum are some other worthwhile sights close by.
