Fukui, Administrative capital in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
Fukui occupies 536 square kilometers between the Sea of Japan and Ryohaku Mountains, with the Kuzuryu River flowing through its urban and rural sections.
Following severe damage from World War II bombings and a devastating earthquake in 1948, Fukui rebuilt itself, leading to its designation as Phoenix City.
The Ichijodani Asakura Family Historic Ruins preserve the legacy of a medieval castle town that housed over 10,000 residents during the Sengoku period.
The city maintains direct transportation connections to major centers through Japan Railways stations, express highways, and regular bus services across the prefecture.
The Fukui Dinosaur Museum contains extensive collections of prehistoric specimens, establishing itself as a primary research center for paleontology in Japan.
