About this spot

Located in Kadono-Minami, Fukui City, this shopping center has long been a favorite among locals. With both a restaurant row and a food court, everyone in the family can choose what they want to eat even if tastes differ among the kids. The air-conditioned interior makes for a perfect rest stop to cool down after a morning of walking outdoors. It's a good idea to pick up anything you're missing for the afternoon's water play here, such as towels, a change of clothes, plastic bags, or drinks. There's also a nursing room, making it an easy midday base even if you're traveling with a baby.

Tips

Open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with the restaurant row open until 9:00 PM. The food court gets crowded around noon on weekends, so it's easier to get a seat if you arrive a bit early or shift to after 1:00 PM. The parking lot is spacious, and it's smooth to finish shopping after your meal before driving on to the water play area.
