Did you know that Sasaki Kojiro, the famous Japanese swordsman who dueled against Miyamoto Musashi on Ganryu-jima (Ganryu island), gave birth to his well-known lethal technique 'Swallow Counter' here in Fukui? There is a famous historical ruin called, 'Ichijodani Asakura Ruins', and 3 km ahead toward the forest from here is Ichijo Falls, aka, 'Kojiro Falls'. It's said that Kojiro came up with his idea here. To access it, you can either walk or drive. For those of you who don't have a car or might not have the passion to walk 40 to 50 min., here are some photos to give you an idea of the place...and to entice you to go!
