Nestled in the heart of Fukui prefecture in the Hokuriku region of Japan, Echizen-shi has a long and storied history dating back to ancient Japan. In its earliest years, the area was home to the provincial capital and temple of the ancient Echizen Province, resulting in many historical and religious sites that you can still visit today. This includes Shinto shrines such as Soja Shrine, and Buddhist temples such as Gekkō-ji and Hoyama-ji.
Echizen-shi has a humid climate with warm and balmy summers, and cold winters with higher snowfalls. Those who want to experience Japan’s natural beauty, seasonal changes, as well as rich heritage, can certainly consider moving to a rental apartment in Echizen-shi and beginning their new life in this dynamic city.
