About this spot

Located in Oniki, Obama City, the Fukui Prefectural Wakasa History Museum introduces Wakasa's history and culture, particularly its role as the 'Mitsuke Country' (the food supplier). The museum offers hands-on experiences like Wakasa-nuri chopstick making, popular with children learning local culture. With the Onoki River flowing nearby and green surroundings, you can enjoy viewing in a relaxed environment. Learning about Wakasa's background before afternoon beach play enhances the experience.
