There are many historical temples and shrines as power spots in Fukui, but the best place to go is Moya Kuroryu Shrine. There are wishing stones, stroking stones, and yakuwari stones, which ward off evil spirits. In addition, there is a famous eel restaurant nearby, where you can eat bamboo steamed kabayaki.

For me, spring in Hokuriku is like the garlic and onions that I planted in the fall, and the pansies and violas that I planted to bloom in the spring. After overcoming the harsh winter, when the snow thawed, the plants, which were flat and flat, suddenly became healthy in the sunlight, and I felt spring.

I used to visit Echizen Ono with my wife for a drive. I visited in the spring, but the beauty and coolness of Oshimizu, one of the top 100 famous waters, was very impressive. The “Imokintsuba” that a local person told me about at that time was excellent, and I buy it every time I go to Fukui.

I visited Kanazawa 8 years ago on my son's 60th birthday invitation trip.
It took more than 4 hours from Shinshu before the Hokuriku Shinkansen opened.
Wakura Onsen Inn is half price on the day of your birthday!
A feast of fresh and delicious seafood that cannot be eaten in Shinshu, is this Ryugu Castle? !
I was happy and embarrassed to be dressed in red chanchanko.
I will be 70 years old in two years. I don't say it, but I'm thinking in my heart that the next time I'll be in the Kanazawa area is when spring is in full bloom.

After seeing my father off after several years of battling illness, I went to Kanazawa with my mother to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms along ASANO near Higashi Chaya District were also very beautiful, but the cherry blossoms along the Sai River were even more beautiful. As we strolled under a beautiful sky, admiring the rows of cherry trees in full bloom on both banks, the fresh spring air caressed our cheeks.
It was heartwarming to see the children from a nearby nursery school having fun walking with their nursery teachers.
I would like to go back there again someday to be surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Spring in Hokuriku means spring skiing.
Of course, skiing in winter is one of the pleasures, but spring skiing is also a little hot, so skiing in short sleeves is the best! !
And then hot springs.
Yamashiro Onsen is the hot spring that relieves fatigue. Soothe away your fatigue in the hot hot springs of Kosoyu.

I went to Kanazawa in mid-March. At the market near the ferry terminal, I bought crabs just after molting for the first time.
It was the first time I had seen it, so I had a lot of trouble buying it, but when I ate it at home, I was surprised at how delicious it was!
I want to go shopping again.

Speaking of spring in Hokuriku, the ban on white shrimp will be lifted on April 1st!!
I look forward to traveling at this time of year every year as it is the time to enjoy the arrival of spring and the flavors of the season.
My biggest dream right now is to eat my fill of fresh white shrimp and seafood at Omicho Market (laughs).

I used to live in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, and picked up Hokuriku Expressway out of nostalgia.
When I think of spring in Hokuriku, I think of the forests of mansions reflected in the water-filled rice fields. In the rice paddies that spread far away, there were island-like patches of residential forests scattered about. The water in Toyama is delicious, so the rice is delicious!

It was in Toyama Prefecture that I learned about spring in Hokuriku for the first time. Cherry blossoms, tulips, and other flowers bloom all at once, and the force of the water flowing down from the Shomyo Falls as the snow melts is spring! There was something that was transmitted to my whole body. The sound of squid fishing boats returning from the canal early in the morning when we stayed in Imizu City was a pleasant wake-up call. The firefly squid lined up at the fish co-op are translucent and sweet when eaten as sashimi. You can't meet such deliciousness unless you are local.
