When I visited Ono Castle in Fukui, I parked my car in 'Ono Castle Town East Square' and walked down a street called 'Shichiken Street'. On this street, a famous morning market has been held for more than four hundred years. It's open from 7 am to 11 am EVERYDAY from Vernal Equinox Day (March 20 or 21) to the end of a year (December 31). Since I didn't know about it, I arrived there in the late afternoon and missed the activity. However, this street is filled with the atmosphere of old Japan, and just walking along it was such a pleasure. I almost felt like I was in Kyoto, not in Fukui. Kyoto minus crowds, that's Shichiken Street!
