In all seasons, one can enjoy the amazing coastline in Fukui's Wakasa Bay with a trip to Shiroyama Park. Hundreds of years ago, a castle once stood there. Today, however, the park is covered in cherry trees and pines, and one can visit the ancient foundation of the castle (it has long since gone). The views from the top of the hill at the far end of the park are nothing short of spectacular, and make for a great romantic spot during the evening or early morning.
