Echizen, town in Nyū district, Fukui prefecture, Japan
Echizen is a town in the Nyu District of Fukui Prefecture in Japan, situated across green hills and river valleys. The place consists of several villages and rural areas marked by traditional craftwork and forested landscapes.
The Echizen region has been known for centuries for its paper-making craft, an art form shaped by Chinese influences. This tradition forms the core of the area's identity and continues to define its character today.
