Fukui Prefectural Ichijodani Asakura Family Site Museum

The Fukui Prefectural Ichijodani Asakura Family Site Museum presents over 800 archaeological artifacts, including objects designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

This museum, inaugurated in 1981, documents the Asakura clan's medieval castle town through extensive archaeological findings from 50 years of continuous excavations.

The museum features a life-size reconstruction of the Asakura residence and a detailed 1:30 scale diorama depicting daily life in the medieval town.

Located at 8-10 Abaga Nakajima, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission fees ranging from 200 yen for children to 700 yen for adults.

The museum's exposed stone foundation exhibition preserves original structures believed to be part of Ichijo-no-Irie, a medieval river port.
