Tojinbo

Tojinbo is one of the best scenic beauty spots in Japan and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Fukui. Rugged basalt cliffs stretch one-kilometer-long along the coast of the Sea of Japan. These precipitous cliffs create a magnificent view. Tojinbo was designated as a special natural treasure. You can see these dramatic cliffs not only from the top of the rocks, but also from a tour boat on the sea. The boat cruises around the cliffs. If you visit Tojinbo Tower at 55 meters tall, which is even higher than the cliffs, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the area, including Fukui Plain and Sangoku Port.

Dramatic and Powerful Precipitous Cliffs

The tallest cliff of Tojinbo raises to 25 meters above sea level. Many visitors are astonished and frightened by its dramatic scale. It is definitely worth seeing the beautiful ocean stretching to the horizon and the white splashes of waves hitting the cliffs. When you visit at sunset, you can view the descending sun coloring the Sea of Japan orange.

Tour Boat

A tour boat, cruising around Tojinbo, takes you right under the cliffs, so you can appreciate these magnificent cliffs from up close. You can also enjoy viewing unique details among the shapes of the cliffs created by the raging waves, including a beehive and a back view of a lion. These cliffs are natural art. You will definitely discover new charms when studying the cliffs from up close.

Tojinbo Shopping Street

After exploring the rugged basalt cliffs, Tojinbo Shopping Street is the best place to fill your stomach. It’s only a three-minute walk from Tojinbo.

Yamani Suisan, which is well-known for its giant crab sign, is one of the most famous and recommended restaurants among them. Kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) at Yamani Suisan is unbeatable.
