Kida Shrine

Kida Shrine (木田神社) is a historic Shinto shrine in central Fukui City, founded in 871 when the deity Susanoo was invited from the famous Tsushima Shrine near Nagoya to serve as guardian of the Kida district. For over a millennium it has stood at the heart of a temple-gate town known for its old houses and long-established shops, surviving fires and the devastating 1948 Fukui earthquake to remain a living center of local faith. Today visitors find not only the main shrine complex but four distinctive precinct shrines within its grounds — including one dedicated to the legendary onmyōji Abe no Seimei — along with a dinosaur-themed stamp program unique to Fukui's "Dinosaur Kingdom" identity and creative votive plaques that turn a simple visit into something memorable.

Seibu Green Road

Seibu Green Road is a 635-meter linear park in Fukui City's Yashiro-Kitamachi district that connects the forested slopes of Mount Ashizu to the Fukui Youth Sports Park. Rather than a single enclosed garden, it unfolds as a sequence of themed open spaces—ancient burial mounds, a Japanese-style garden, outdoor fitness stations, brick-edged flower beds, and a sculptural plaza—making it one of the city's most pleasant walking routes. Every winter, the greenway's Culture Square transforms into a community-made illumination display, lit from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The project began when local middle-school students proposed ways to bring neighbors back to the park, and their idea has grown into one of Fukui's most charming holiday spots.
