Sakai, Administrative center in Fukui Prefecture, Japan
Sakai extends along the western coast of Fukui Prefecture, bordered by the Sea of Japan and surrounded by mountains and rice fields.
The city of Sakai emerged from the consolidation of five towns and municipalities in March 2006, marking a new era for this coastal region.
The region maintains strong connections to traditional agriculture, with local farmers practicing rice cultivation methods passed down through generations.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen railway extension project, scheduled for completion in 2024, will connect Sakai directly to Tokyo in approximately three hours.
The city operates an advanced disaster prevention system that includes multiple monitoring stations for earthquakes and potential tsunami threats.
