📍 Kumagawa-juku, Fukui Japan

The scenic post town of Kumagawa-juku might be known as a milestone of the Mackerel Road, but it is also famous for another food product: kudzu starch! 🐟✨

Kudzu is a climbing vine that grows rampantly in Japan’s fields and mountains. Its roots can be transformed into starch, and it has been regarded as a valuable ingredient for food and medicine for centuries. 🌿

Kumagawa-juku is known as one of the three main producing areas of kudzu starch in Japan, praised for the high quality of its starch since the Edo period. ✨

When cooking, kudzu starch is primarily used to make traditional sweets that are completely transparent! Kudzu manju are one of the most famous examples of this, but some restaurants in Wakasa and especially in Kumagawa-juku also make delicious kudzu mochi, divinely fresh kudzu kiri (kudzu noodles) or even kudzu senzai! Kudzu itself has little to no taste, but add some kinako (soybean powder) and kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) and you’re in for a delicious treat!

To enjoy kudzu sweets at their best, it is important to consume then immediately after they’re prepared! When making the kudzu mochi, the owner of the restaurant was even joking saying these sweets had a 5-minute expiration date. ⏱👀

📍 Heisenji Hakusan Shrine, Katsuyama City, Fukui Japan

Deep in the forest surrounding Katsuyama City lies the Heisenji Hakusan Shrine.

Entering the shrine grounds feels like stepping in another world: once a thriving temple city dedicated to the sacred Mount Hakusan, the site is now covered in a velvety layer of moss hiding over 1300 years of history.

Enjoy a walk on the quiet paths that connect the different shrines while gazing at the beautiful moss garden. If you walk a bit away from the main grounds, you’ll stumble upon recently excavated paved roads: excavation works are often conducted in the area, each one revealing more of the ancient history of this sacred place.

👉Visit tips: the moss is at its peak in August when the humidity falls heavy all over Japan, so it’s the best time to visit the Heisenji! The green forest offers a slight respite from the heat, and you might also see some cute frogs hopping around the shrine grounds.
On the other hand, avoid visiting between March and April: many branches that fell with the snow litter the ground, covering the moss, so the site is not at its best!

👉 For more information about the Heisenji Hakusan Shrine, consult our website: https://www.fuku-e.com/en/attractions/detail_1105.html

It’s May! Time to plant some rice. 🌾
📍Mikata Town Kaminaka District, Fukui Prefecture, Japan
Thank you for teaching us all about rice farming!

Fukui prefecture is a big agricultural region, with an important rice farming culture. Some varieties of rice prized over Japan like Ichi Homare or Koshi Hikari were first produced in the prefecture! 🍙✨

To preserve this rice farming culture, some farming communities organize rice planting and rice harvesting activities for local schools, and I was lucky enough to participate in one!

We first learned about the different elements of a grain of rice and how each one is used in Japanese cuisine, then how the grains were processed to prepare for the next year’s sowing. 🌱

Then, we planted rice seedlings in the rice paddy! We used a traditional ruler-wheel to mark the spots where we would plant the rice, then stepped deep into the mud to gently sow the seedlings in groups of 3. A row of three plants, so 9 seedlings, will produce about one bowl of rice! 🍚

There are several farming communities in Fukui that offer similar farming experiences for schools but also sometimes for visitors!

📍Ikeda Town, Fukui Prefecture, Japan
👉Note: The Great Cedar of Inari is a sacred tree. When visiting please be respectful of the tree and its surroundings.

Behind Suwa Azuki Shrine in Ikeda Town, stands the Great Cedar of Inari.🌲

Towering over 40 meters tall with a trunk circumference exceeding 10 meters, it is one of the largest giant cedar trees in the Hokuriku region.

To reach the tree, take a small forest path that starts from the main hall of Suwa Azuki Shrine (designated as a National Important Cultural Property) and walk for 5 minutes uphill. Despite its size, you won’t see it until the last moment, its wide trunk suddenly dwarfing all the other trees nearby.

Don’t look down! 👀

📍Ikeda Town, Fukui Prefecture, Japan

One of the best spots for shinrin yoku – forest bathing – in Fukui is without doubt Kazura Bashi in Ikeda Town!

This vine bridge is suspended about 12 meters above ground, in the middle of a lush forest over the clear waters of the Asuwa river.

Enjoy a refreshing walk along the river before braving the bridge: while it is 100% safe, the gaps between the planks are sometimes impressive!

You’ll find other attractions and restaurants in close proximity to the bridge, like the Noh Mask Museum or for more thrills, the Tree Picnic adventure Ikeda and its giant zipline!
