Extremely well organized place. Beautiful arhitecture too. Child or adults everyone can enjoy this place. Better if you buy your ticket in advance. A lot of interesting things to see and fun activities to do. The gift shop is amazing too.

I can't believe it's only $10 to enter! This museum was so much fun and the dinosaurs were so cool! You don't need kids to have fun here. We drove from Fukui and there's a huge parking lot. We bought tickets in advance for timed entry and enjoyed a really good lunch (it was adorable!!)

Great museum. Huge area with lots of displays and activities for the kids. The main gallery is an echo chamber which is awesome! Great food in the restaurant and cool playground outside too. Well recommended for kids, families, archaeology enthusiasts and dinosaur buffs! Big carpark, also lots of bus options

Great museum. Impressive replicas mix with real fossils. Animaltronix looked nice too. The video works are a bit clumsy though. I really appreciate the faithful English translations on most of their displays. Though there was no translations available for the special exhibition. Also the special exhibition was surprisingly small, I'd suggest skipping it if you can't understand Japanese. The dioramas where the exhibition highlights the changes in the environment through the millions of years with the dinosaurs in them were informative. I went in hoping to gain some new knowledge and I left feeling fulfilled. The gift shop needs to have some imagination regarding the products they offered as I feel they were a bit lackluster.

One of the most amazing Museum's I have ever been to. So many different different specimens of dinosaurs on display, even some information in English which makes it easier for tourists to understand. The the museum offers multiple levels and even an exclusive look on how some fossils are prepared. The restaurant offers a good selection of delicious dishes and the souvenir shop a wide variety of different things to buy. Would definitely visit again in the future.

An outstanding paleontological museum. The trip to the museum takes a long time, but it's worth it. It's best to buy tickets to the museum and the excavation site in advance, as it's very crowded. The bus from the station to the museum costs 300 yen. The museum has a restaurant, playgrounds, a dinosaur park, and a gift shop.

Without a doubt a world best dinosaur museum. Excellent range and depth, great animating techniques and great science detail. Real fossil excavation. Easy access from Fukui shinkansen ration. Tip top.

Great place to visit for both young and old. Many fun activities to do. One day is not enough.

Very positively surprised by the amount of skeletons and fossils! This place is big. Almost everything is also explained in good English

it was a great time ,Best for ｃｈｉｌｄｒｅｎｓ

I -love- this park and museum! All of the signs are in both English and Japanese, so I really felt like I was learning something. Every other museum I've been to, including the National Gallery in Ueno, Tokyo, was only in Japanese-- it's not their fault, but going through those museums really felt like a waste of time. Not here! The architecture is really unique, and the range of specimens is top-notch. Seeing the fossil prep room was a unique, cool experience. Two warnings for visitors: the restaurant is over-priced and underwhelming; best avoid it, really. Also, the museum is slowly undergoing renovation, which is to be finished in 2023. It wasn't too bad when I went, in April 2021, but your experience may be different because of this construction.

Very naturistic... Feel peace.. reservation is must but tickets is after entering only

This park is interesting place to visit with your family. There are many dinosaurs in the jungle that you can see with your children. Wassalam.

It will go under renovation soon and reopen 2023. Great place to visit with kids of all ages.

Quite a nice hike about a mile long; it would be a nice bonus package if you have kids. There’s a parking lot next to the park if you want to skip the museum, but it wasn’t a bad walk from the museum parking lot. The exhibits here are for the most part robotic. Motion sensors line the trail to trigger the dinosaur animations when visitors get close. It’s a treat for the kids for sure.

We came to visit on a public holiday. I recommend booking your ticket online. 🎟 because this place is so popular and busy. Come early to avoid the long line of traffic trying to enter the carpark. 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 🚗 Great facilities and a lot of fun for the kids. Some of the moving dinosaurs 🦕 may be scary for little kids. The restaurant food was good, but it took a long time to get a table. 🍜 Despite all the negatives I mentioned above, we still had a great time. 👍

Here the you get real feel of Jurassic park with moving dinosaurs with voice Just amazing

They look so real! Such a cool place!

Lots of moving dinosaurs. Walking path is a bit short conare with ticket price. You can drive to park front of this park.

Enjoyable for various generations

A bit pricy... But pretty fun for kids.

I had a meal at the museum café. My set meal was okay, but if you’re visiting, I recommend going for the burger set—it looked much better than what I ordered!

For foodcourt food this was honestly decent - and fun! My 10year old loved doing the science experiment cake. It was also cool to dine surrounded by fossils.

The restaurant has been renewed and now has a vegan option: vegetable curry. The food was a bit expensive but tasty. Would be better to come before 11 as there may be a long queue at the peak time.

(Translated by Google) Reservations are required, so if you visit during a particularly busy time, you can save time by making a reservation first. The concept is dinosaurs, and it's fun to see dinosaur motifs throughout. I had the Carnivorous Tyranno Burger for 1,500 yen, but since these kinds of places are meant to be enjoyed for the atmosphere and concept, I thought the taste and contents were about what you'd expect. However, the burger was a bit too small... I would have liked it to be a little more substantial, even if it meant paying more. (Original) 予約必須ですので特に混むタイミングで来館した場合真っ先に予約してから見学すれば時短になります。 恐竜がコンセプトになっていてどこかしらに恐竜のモチーフが入ってるのが楽しいですね。 肉食ティラノバーガー@1500円を頂きましたが、こういう場所は雰囲気やコンセプトを楽しむとこですので、味や内容はこんなもんかなと思いました。 ただあまりにバーガーが小さすぎたのはちょっと...。 値段上げてももうちょっとボリュームが欲しかったですね。

(Translated by Google) This is a large restaurant at the back of the museum shop. It gets very busy, but if you wait your turn they will contact you via social media, so the wait isn't too bad. You order and pay using a terminal similar to the ticket machines you see often these days, and when your number on the paper that comes out is called, you go and collect your food. The menu is quite unique, in keeping with the dinosaur museum style, and the kids enjoyed their meals, but although the food was delicious, I felt the portions were a little lacking for adults. If you go a little later they also have pancakes and other sweets available, so it's a good place for tea. (Original) ミュージアムショップの奥にある広いレストランです。 非常に混みあっていますが、順番待ちをすればSNSなどで呼び出してくれるのでそれほど待つことは苦ではないです。最近よく見る食券機にような端末でオーダーと支払いを行い、出てきた紙に書かれている番号が呼ばれたら取りに行くスタイル。 メニューもそれなりに恐竜博物館らしい工夫がされており、子供たちは喜んで食事をしていましたが、味は美味しいのですが大人には量的にやや物足りないのではないかなと感じました。 少し遅めの時間ならパンケーキなどの甘い物も用意されているので、お茶をするのにも良いかと思いますよ。

(Translated by Google) It's best to make a reservation immediately after entering! A restaurant inside the museum where you can eat while looking at fossils! ●What kind of restaurant is it? ・There was a wait of over an hour by 10:50 on the Sunday in the middle of a three-day weekend, so depending on the timing, it's best to make a reservation immediately after entering. ・A restaurant inside the museum where you can eat while looking at dinosaurs made from fossils and bones! ・The taste is...well, like what you'd find at a theme park. ・A wide variety of dinosaur-themed menu items! ●Order ◾︎ Spinosaurus Curry 1,500 yen A Spinosaurus is shaped like rice made from multigrain rice, and the curry is made to resemble an underwater world! Maybe because children are welcome, it was an extremely sweet pre-made curry, lol. ◾︎ Spinosaurus Soda 800 yen You add your own syrup at the end, making it a visually appealing drink! There are four different flavors, each with a different dinosaur! The coconut flavor is quite strong, so some people won't like it, but those who do will love it! ◾︎ Volga Rice 1,450 yen (I didn't try it) Volga Rice is a local specialty of Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture. It's a hearty Western dish consisting of omelet rice topped with pork cutlet! ◾︎ Fukui Specialty Sauce Katsudon 1,350 yen (I didn't try it) Fukui's specialty sauce katsudon, topped with their signature original sauce! ◾︎ Dinosaur Egg Rice Ball Kids Plate 1,100 yen (I didn't try it) ◾︎ Dinosaur Egg Rice Ball Kids Plate ● Customer Service ･It's a food court-style restaurant with a call-by-number system, but there were quite a few people who bought their ticket and then waited for their food to be ready. It was crowded, which was both dangerous and unpleasant for someone eating nearby. I asked the staff to be more careful, but they didn't warn me and the situation remained unchanged. ● Budget ¥1,500/person ● Occasions Family, Friends ~･~･~･~･~･~･~･~･~･~･~･~ I've been visiting yakiniku restaurants around Tokyo and introducing them in my "Honest Reviews, Ready to Cause Controversy" blog, but now that a year has passed, I'm sharing my favorite restaurants on Instagram!

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekday before the summer Obon festival, and it was crowded. You reserve a ticket in advance, get a number, wait a few minutes, and then receive a phone or SMS notification to enter the restaurant. It's nice not to have to waste time waiting. However, the wait time on my day exceeded 100 minutes by noon, so it's best to make a reservation early. There are few restaurants in the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum area, so it's a good idea to plan your visit accordingly. The restaurant is very clean, with replica dinosaur specimens on display. I was able to sit down immediately after receiving my reservation notification. Ordering is done at one of three ticket machines. Cash and various electronic payment methods are accepted. After placing your order, your number is called and you collect it at the counter. I ordered the Carnivorous Tyranno Burger with a drink set. It's a small cheeseburger, but the meat is juicy and more filling than it looks. It comes with fries and lettuce, which was also delicious. Considering its location inside the museum, the taste is more than satisfactory. I was satisfied with the food. The price was a little high for the amount of food, but it's a tourist spot so I guess that can't be helped. (Original) 夏のお盆前の平日に行きましたが、混雑していました。事前予約のチケットで番号を取得し、何分か待ったあと、電話がSMSなどで通知が来たらお店の中に入れるシステムです。待ち時間で時間を無駄にしなくて済むのはありがたいです。ただ、この日は12時の時点で待ち時間が100分を超えていたので、利用する際には早めに予約した方が良いです。福井県立恐竜博物館は周辺に飲食店が少ないので、その点も考慮した上で計画した方が良いでしょう。 店舗内はとても清潔感があり、恐竜の複製標本も飾ってあります。予約通知後はすぐに座ることができました。注文は3台ある券売機で行います。支払いは現金のほか、各種電子マネーに対応しています。注文し、番号を呼ばれたらカウンターで受け取ります。 注文したのは肉食ティラノバーガーのドリンクセット。小ぶりなチーズバーガーですが肉がジューシーで見た目より食べ応えがあります。ポテトとレタスがついていて、こちらもおいしかったです。博物館内という立地を考えると味は及第点を十分に超えています。食事には満足です。若干量に対して料金が高いのがネックですが、観光地なのでそこは仕方がないでしょう。

A truly beautiful Buddhist temple, I’m so grateful I could come and be blessed with the incredible views of the nature and temple buildings. I really appreciated the Dharma teachings hung up in the corridor near the main entrance as these lessons mean a lot to me and it was so nice being in an environment with great energy as people who practice the same lessons can come together and cultivate the peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a joy for me to walk through the temple and gaze upon all the sights, plus read about the history and meaning behind certain halls on their wooden information tablets.

Definetely a must see place in Japan. Not only it is one of the important #temples in Japan and accomodates Zen monks trainings and practices which visitors can join some of the activities also the surrounding with beautiful tall cedar trees. Amazing view especially during winter when it is snowing. The temple has many buildings connected by covered walkways, it makes it very convenient to experience in #Fukui.

What a place! Although it’s about 30 min away from the Fukui station, this temple is totally worth visiting. The size and the architectural beauty of the temple was simply amazing. Surrounded by magnificent mountain-scape and calm greenery, I almost felt sorry that this place wasn’t well known to foreign tourists (although I was happy with that when I visited there). Highly recommend!!

What a magnificent place. If you are a Zen practitioner and in Japan, this should absolutely be on your itinerary. We went to a number of temples while in Japan but the energy you feel at Eiheiji is unmatched. Magnificent trees, building and practice. We spent two days visiting and participating in the morning service and zazen and would have spent a third to do more hiking around the temple. Also what's really nice is because it's out of the typical tourist circuit there are a lot less visitors than any other place we went (we were there on a weekday so don't know about the weekends).

Amazing temple! The museum at the end was also very interesting. Easy 30 min bus ride from Fukui train station. Only downside are the extra small slippers (none fit me, and I am size 10.5-11 UK)

Eiheiji Temple One-Day Monk Experience – A Peaceful and Enlightening Retreat It took me about 3.5 hours to travel from Tokyo to Fukui, but the journey was absolutely worth it. Eiheiji Temple offers a deeply peaceful and reflective atmosphere, unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. The highlight for me was learning zazen (seated meditation) the proper way. The program had English-speaking guides who were incredibly kind and respectful to us international participants. There were only six of us from abroad, while the rest were Japanese students (around 10–15). They followed a different schedule from us, and honestly, I wish I spoke Japanese to engage more deeply with the experience. We were asked to wake up at 3:50 AM, and interestingly, there was no shower the next day—which I personally found a bit uncomfortable. If given a choice, I’d rather wake at 3:30 AM just to have a quick shower and feel refreshed before starting the day. During the zazen session, the core message was clear: enlightenment comes from within, and practice should be part of daily life. I’ve done meditation before, but Soto Zen teaches you to meditate with your eyes open, which is surprisingly challenging. Even in a quiet space, thoughts and emotions constantly bubble up—nothing too serious, just random things. It feels like you’re quietly observing your own soul. And yes, sitting for 30 minutes will definitely make your legs go numb! They also taught us about mindful eating. There was a beautiful chanting ceremony before meals to express gratitude, which I found really touching. They even gave us souvenir chopsticks and a small booklet so we can continue the practice at home. One of the most powerful moments was the early morning prayer ceremony. All the monks gathered and chanted in unison—it felt sacred, healing, and almost magical. Overall, I learned so much from this one-day monk experience. It wasn’t just about meditation or rituals—it was about slowing down, being present, and finding meaning in small, everyday actions. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a meaningful escape from the busy modern world. The one-day monk experience costs ¥15,000 and must be applied for at least a month in advance. Your application also needs to be approved by the temple. I stayed in the women’s tatami room, and it was surprisingly comfortable and beautiful—it honestly felt a bit luxurious. The soft green and yellow tones were calming and well-coordinated, adding to the serene vibe. What really surprised me was the bath setup—it’s similar to a traditional public bath, where everyone bathes nude. There’s even a large shared hot tub in the center where you can soak and relax. It was an unexpected but authentic part of the experience!

This place is breathtaking and if you can you should definitely stop here for a visit. We arrived by car and parked in one of the first parking lots we found in the village, it was 300 yen for the day and overall was one of the cheapest. From there we walked 10 mins uphill to reach the area where the temple is located. The first impression is majestic with secular trees surrounding the buildings. Once you enter and pay the fee (700 yen per person) you will take off your shoes in the provided bags and will be guided by colorful lines on the wooden floor. Just walking around the area in silence gives you a sense of zen. This place is solemn and you can see monks walking around and taking care of the gardens. There are videos along the way together with informational signs (all translated to English) that provide interesting insights on the history of the temple and how it is used today by the monks living there. This is definitely in the top 5 of the places I visited in Japan.

It was a big white dinosaur statue. Awesome. Great views, got some great photos of my daughter pretending to be eaten. Car park next to it was useful.

A big statue of a T-Rex on the way to the dinosaur museum

There's a carpark just behind the statue so you can park safely and go down for photos. Bring a tripod so you can take a nice shot together with the mountains in the background.

good for children

(Translated by Google) I saw this on my way to the Dinosaur Museum and took a commemorative photo. It was spring, but there was still snow in the distance, which made for a nice contrast. It doesn't take long to get there, and there's a parking lot, so I recommend it. (Original) 恐竜博物館に行くときに見かけて記念写真を取りました。春でしたが、遠くに雪が残っていてコントラストが良かったです。 そんなに時間がかからず、駐車場もあるのでおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) 2025/5/31 I see the White Dinosaur once a year. The dirt is gradually becoming more noticeable. Especially the black spots around its belly... It's been a long time since it was made, so it can't be helped, but I think it would be better to have it repainted white periodically. (I don't know who will pay for it though.) (Original) 2025/5/31 年に１度はお目にかかる、ホワイトザウルス。 徐々に汚れが目立ってきています。特にお腹周りの黒ずみが．．． 出来てから結構な年月立っているので仕方ないですけど、定期的に白塗りなおしてもらった方がいい気がします。（お金誰が出すのかわかりませんが）

(Translated by Google) We could see it from the bus! It was quite large and impressive! It was originally made of something like paper, but it was damaged in a typhoon so it was replaced with reinforced plastic. (Original) バスからも見えました！ かなり大きくて迫力がありました！ 元々は紙のようなものでできていたそうですが、台風で壊れてしまったため、強化プラスチックになったとのことです。

The park is nice, but, there are not places to eat.

(Translated by Google) I went to see Benten cherry blossoms. It was a little scattered, but the carpet of petals was still beautiful. There is also a signboard for the hiking course, so you can see how many meters you have walked.🌸 and the contrast between the daffodils and daffodils👍👍 There are many benches, and there are also two toilets. The parking lot is also spacious. On the way, I saw some beetle play equipment and couldn't help but take a photo🤭 (Original) 弁天桜を見に行きました。ちょっと散りかけてましたが、花びらの絨毯でこれまたきれいでした。ハイキングコースの看板もあり今何メートル歩いたかもわかります?🌸と水仙のコントラストも👍👍　ベンチも多く設置されており、トイレも2箇所あります。駐車場も広い。途中、カブトムシの遊具があり思わず撮してしまった🤭

(Translated by Google) Aoki River, a living legend in Fukui Prefecture Taken while driving The Kuzuryu River originates at the Aburasaka Pass (altitude 717 m) on the border between Fukui and Gifu prefectures, flows north through the Ono Basin via the Kuzuryu Gorge, joins the left tributary Mana River near the border between Ono City and Katsuyama City, enters the Fukui Plain at Naruka, Eiheiji Town, and flows west from there. It then merges with the left tributary Hino River at Takaya, Fukui City, turns northwest and empties into the Sea of ​​Japan at Mikuni Town. Including the tributaries along the way, it is one of the largest rivers in the Hokuriku region, with a basin area of ​​2,930km2 and a channel length of 116km. (Original) 福井県の伝説が生きている青き川 ドライブ中に撮影 九頭竜川は福井県と岐阜県境の油坂峠（標高717m）に発し、九頭竜峡谷を経て大野盆地を北流し、大野市と勝山市との境付近で左支川真名川を合わせ、永平寺町鳴鹿にて福井平野に入り、そこから西流します。そして、福井市高屋において左支川日野川と合流し、流れを北西に転じ三国町で日本海に注いでいます。途中の支川を合わせると流域面積2,930km2、流路延長116kmの北陸地方屈指の大河川となります。

(Translated by Google) It is a first-class river representing Fukui Prefecture. Its source is Aburasaka, and from there it flows westward through Fukui Prefecture, and from Awara City to the Sea of ​​Japan. The distance is said to be 116km. The headwaters area is famous for sweetfish fishing, and many anglers come from other prefectures. Sakura trout fishing is also popular in the downstream area. Above all, the name "Kuzuryu" sounds good. However, there are various theories about the origin of the word, and the name has changed. There is Kuzuryu Dam in the headwaters area, which is also undergoing major development. The ``Hakogase Bridge'' that spans this dam is especially famous and is said to be the model for the Honshu Bridge, so it is a must-see spot. (Original) 福井県を代表する一級河川です。 源流は油坂で、そこから延々と福井県を西へと流れ、あわら市から日本海へと注いでいます。その距離は116kmとされています。 源流域では鮎釣りが有名で、他県からも大勢の釣り客が訪れます。また下流域ではサクラマス釣りも盛んです。 何よりこの「九頭竜」という名前、その響きがいいです。ただし、語源は諸説あって、呼び名が変化したものだということです。 源流域には九頭竜ダムがあり、こちらも大きな開発の手が入っています。このダムにかかる「箱ヶ瀬橋」は特に有名で、本四架橋のモデルになった橋ということなので、押さえておきたいスポットです。

In November 2024, we made a brief stop at this station to catch a bus to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. While waiting for the bus, I considered exploring around the station, but it was quite cold that day, so I decided to stay inside. The staff was kind and helpful, even though our Japanese skills were limited. The bus to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum stops right in front of the station and is easy to identify by the dinosaur images on it. Payment is only by cash. Alternatively, there are taxi waiting outside the station.

Lovely small old fashioned station. Friendly staff and clean. Takes about 1h from Fukui to get here and is the get off point for the Dinosaur Museum. Has a 1920 small train carriage on show.

(Translated by Google) It takes 57 minutes from Fukui Station to Katsuyama Station on the Echizen Railway Katsuyama-Eiheiji Line. The last stop. Almost everyone who gets on the bus up to this point is going to the Dinosaur Museum. The "Echizen Railway One-Day Free Ticket + Unlimited Use of Katsuyama City Buses" (1,700 yen) is definitely a good deal. Not only can you get on the bus to the Dinosaur Museum, but you can also get on the bus to the Echizen Buddha and Katsuyama Castle Museum. You can use your transportation IC card at the ticket gates of the station. There are toilets, vending machines, and coin lockers inside and outside. Next to it is the "Echizen Railway Cafe," where you can drink roasted coffee on the spot or take it out to drink on the train. The old station building has been renovated and has a modern look, giving it a nice feel. If you go left after leaving the station, you will find the bus stop for the Dinosaur Museum. I was worried that everyone who got off would be able to get on the bus, but everyone was able to get on, although they had to stand.

(Translated by Google) This retro station was amazing! The exterior of the station building is old, but the inside has been renovated and is very stylish. There's also a cafe on site, so waiting for a train won't be a pain. I went around 5pm, so I couldn't use the cafe, so I got a drink and pudding to go. I came by car this time, so next time I'd like to use the Echizen Railway. (Original) レトロな駅最高でした！ 外観は古い駅舎ですが中はリノベされたのかオシャレでした。 併設されたカフェもあるので電車を待つのも苦じゃ無さそう。 私が行ったのは17時ぐらいだったので、カフェを利用できなかったので、ドリンクとプリンをテイクアウトしました。 今回は車で来てたので、次回はえちぜん鉄道を利用したいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It's a small train station with a dinosaur statue against a snowy mountain. You can walk along the nearby bridge over the river, where you can see the riverside village. However, it's very windy. There's also a place to leave your luggage. (Original) เป็นสถานีรถไฟเล็ก ๆ มีรูปปั้นไดโนเสาร์ตัดกับภูเขาหิมะ สามารถไปเดินเล่นที่สะพานข้ามเเม่น้ำที่อยู่ไกล้ ๆ ได้ จะมองเห็นวิวหมู่บ้านริมเเม่น้ำ เเต่ลมเเรงมาก มีที่ฝากสัมภาระด้วย

(Translated by Google) Judging from the old and elegant exterior, it looks like it's unreasonably expensive, but surprisingly, the food is reasonably priced. When you pass through a door that gives you a sense of history, you will find a number of furnishings that will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time. Naturally, your behavior will improve as well. I had my meal on the first floor, but when I heard that I could also tour the second floor of the historic building, I climbed the steep stairs and was surprised to find a wonderful hall. In particular, it was my first time seeing the delicate structure of the ceiling. As for the food, although the portions were modest, I was very satisfied with the good atmosphere inside the restaurant. (Original) 外観の古さ・立派さからすると、無茶苦茶高そうな雰囲気ですが、意外な事に、お食事はリーズナブルで驚き。歴史を感じる扉をくぐると、タイムスリップしたかのような調度の数々。自然とこちらのお行儀も良くなってしまいます。食事自体は一階で頂いたのですが、歴史ある建物の二階も見学できると聞いて急な階段を登ってみたら、素晴らしい作りの広間にびっくり。特に天井の繊細な造りは初めて見ました。食事の方も、量は控えめでしたが店内の雰囲気の良さも相まってとても満足できました。

(Translated by Google) I searched for soba on Google Maps, found this place, and went there for lunch. The outside looks much nicer than it looks in the photo~❗️The inside of the store also had a nice atmosphere. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful.My wife had the tempura grated soba noodles, and I had the sauce cutlet bowl set. I think it's a good deal to be able to eat both Fukui's soba and sauce katsudon~❗The amount is just right. cooked rice! The rice was really delicious. I was quite impressed. Of course, the soba and cutlet are also delicious~❗️When ordering, A staff member told me that if I was interested, I should go and see the umbrella ceiling on the 2nd floor. I was able to take a look. It looks like the building is registered as a tangible cultural property~❗️ The location is a little further back than the national highway, but maybe that's a good thing. (^⁠_⁠^)y-° ° ° ° ° ° ° (Original) Googleマップで蕎麦を検索した所、こちらを見つけて、ランチに行きました。外観は写真で見るより、かなり良い雰囲気ですね～❗️店内も良い雰囲気でした。また、スタッフの方も気持ちの良い接客でしたよ、妻は、天盛りおろし蕎麦、私は、ソースカツ丼セットを頂きました。 福井の蕎麦とソースカツ丼両方食べれてちょっとお得かなぁ〜❗量は丁度良い感じです。 ご飯！お米がめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。 私の中では、かなり感動しました。もちろん、蕎麦、カツも美味しいですよ〜❗️注文の時に、 スタッフのお姉さんに、もし、ご興味があれば、2Fの傘天井を観て行って下さいと言われ、 見物させて頂きました。建物が有形文化財に登録されているみたいですよ〜❗️ 場所は、国道より、ちょっと奥に入った所ですが、それが良いのかもしれませんねぇ。 (^⁠_⁠^)y-° ° ° ° ° ° °

(Translated by Google) Lunchtime, October 28, 2025 I didn't have a reservation, but they accommodated me. The waitress was very nice and lovely. Each dish was delicious and unique. One thing that bothered me was that some dishes were carefully prepared and others were sloppy. I ordered the 1,500 yen set meal, but the tempura was sloppy, and the maitake mushrooms absorbed too much oil, so all I got was oil when I chewed them. The fried shrimp was covered in batter. This was a demerit. The grilled salmon smelled frozen, which is understandable. Other than that, everything was delicious. (Original) 2025年10月28日ランチ利用 予約はしてませんが対応してくださいました。 接客は非常に良く可愛い女性でした。 料理はそれぞれ特徴があり美味でした。 一つ気になったのは丁寧な仕事をしてる料理と雑な料理があります。 御膳1500円を注文しましたが天ぷらは雑で舞茸は油を吸い過ぎて噛むと油しか出ない。エビフライは衣だらけ。これが減点。焼鮭は冷凍臭いのも仕方ない。それ以外は美味でした。

(Translated by Google) In addition to eating, you can also take a look around while waiting for your meal. The luxurious atmosphere of the building built in the Meiji era also enhanced the food. The atmosphere around the restaurant is also great, so I recommend taking a walk around after your meal. (Original) お食事はもちろん、お食事を待つ間中を見学することも出来ます。明治に建てられた建物の贅沢な雰囲気も、お料理を一層引き立てていました🤗 またお店の周囲の雰囲気も素晴らしく、お食事のあと、ちょっと散策するのもオススメです😃

(Translated by Google) A kettle-cooked gozen lunch at a restaurant that utilizes an old restaurant building. Local dishes such as tempura, soba, simmered dishes, and soup stock rolls are lined up. The grated soba noodles are famous, but they also have Katsuyama kelp rolls. I love the light scorch of the pot-cooked rice. . The building is 120 years old and is a registered tangible cultural property of the country, so you can also take a look at the magnificent umbrella ceiling in the hall. This design cannot be reproduced today. amazing! (Original) 旧料亭の建物を活用したお食事処で釜炊き御膳のランチ。 天ぷら・蕎麦・煮物・出汁巻きなど郷土料理が並ぶもの。 おろし蕎麦は有名だけど、勝山昆布巻きなんてものもあるんですね。 釜炊きごはんの軽いおこげが嬉しいです。 . 築120年の国登録有形文化財ということで、広間の立派な傘天井も見学。 この意匠、今では再現できないんですって。すごい！

(Translated by Google) A pure Japanese restaurant, the store's decoration style impressed me, with many features related to ancient Japanese vibes. The staff gave me a leaflet about local tourism that had a picture of the house. The food is quite delicious, but the price seems a bit steep 料理は美味しくて、お店の内装もとても綺麗で日本らしい雰囲気があります。 ただ、少し値段が高めに感じました。 (Original) Một quán ăn thuần Nhật, phong cách trang trí của cửa hàng làm mình rất ấn tượng, có nhiều nét liên quan tới vibes Nhật cổ xưa. Mình được nhân viên đưa cho một tờ về du lịch địa phương thì có hình ảnh ngôi nhà. Đồ ăn khá ngon, nhưng giá có vẻ hơi chát 料理は美味しくて、お店の内装もとても綺麗で日本らしい雰囲気があります。 ただ、少し値段が高めに感じました。

(Translated by Google) The townscape and buildings are very atmospheric. While waiting for our food, we were given a chance to look at the umbrella ceiling, which was a wonderful experience. (Original) 雰囲気のある街並みと建物。食事を待ってる間に傘天井を見学させてもらえて素晴らしい体験ができました。

(Translated by Google) I tried Fukui's specialty, grated daikon radish soba! The grated daikon radish used here wasn't spicy, so it should be okay for children to eat! Payment is cash only. (Original) 福井名物のおろしそばを食べました！ ここのおろしは辛味大根ではなかったので、子どもでも大丈夫そうです！ 支払いは現金のみです。

(Translated by Google) I visited this place because the katsudon restaurant I was looking for was closed. I ordered a mini sauce katsudon set, but it was a set with a lot of miniature items. I never expected it to be a rice bowl-sized katsudon. Also, as mentioned in the reviews, there was one middle-aged woman who provided poor customer service. She treated everyone the same, which made me feel uncomfortable. (Original) お目当てのカツ丼屋さんが営業されていなかったので訪問しました。ミニソースかつ丼セットを注文しましたが色々とミニな感じのセットでした。まさか茶碗サイズのカツ丼とは思わなかった。あと口コミにもあるように一人残念な接客をするオバチャンがいます。誰彼構わず同じ態度だったので不快に感じました

(Translated by Google) I ate the seafood bowl and grated soba set. It was so delicious! ! The most popular thing was the deliciousness and low price... In particular, the seafood bowl had a lot of toppings and was very filling, but I thought it was amazing for the price. It was my first time trying soba and grated soba, and it was amazing! ! I was very satisfied with this delicious old-fashioned restaurant. Other reviews have written about customer service and serving times, so I would like to share this in my review as well. The store seems to be run by a small number of employees, and there was a sign to that effect! ! If you don't have enough time, the restaurant recommends that you go to another restaurant, and the hours of service are normal considering that it is a privately run restaurant with a small number of employees. I felt that it fell into the category of I also thought that what was said elsewhere was not something to be concerned about. I think consideration on the part of the customer is also necessary. I was very satisfied with the delicious meal! ! (Original) 海鮮丼＆おろしそばセットを食べました。 とっても美味しかったです！！ 1番人気も納得の美味しさと安さでした………… 特に海鮮丼はネタがたくさん入っててボリュームもあって、でもあのお値段なの凄いと思いました。 そばもおろしそば初めてでしたが、最高でしたよ！！ 昔ながらの美味しいお食事処で大変満足しました。 他レビューで接客や提供時間について書かれていたので、私からもレビューでお伝えしたいのですが お店は少ない従業員さんで回していらっしゃってる様で、張り紙でその旨を書いていらっしゃいました！！ ちゃんと時間が無い方は他飲食店に行かれることをお店側が勧めて下さってますし、提供時間などについても、個人経営の飲食店かつ少ない従業員さんで回していることを想像すれば当たり前の範疇だと感じました。 その他、他で言われている内容も、別に気にするほどのことではないかなと思いました。 お客側の配慮も必要だと思います。 私はとても美味しいお食事を頂けて満足できました！！

(Translated by Google) In May 2025, I had a sauce katsudon for lunch before going to Jodogawa Dam. In addition to the katsudon, it also came with pickles, soup, and a small piece of tofu. The service was very fast, which surprised me because I usually imagine sauce katsudons to be brought slowly. The sauce katsu had an addictive sour taste and was very delicious 😋 (Original) 2025年5月、浄土川ダムへ行く前にランチでソースカツ丼を頂きました。 カツ丼の他、漬物、汁物、小さいお豆腐も付いてきます。 提供のスピードがかなり早かったです、大抵ソースカツ丼ってのんびり運ばれてくるイメージだったので少々驚かされました。 癖になるような酸味ありのソースカツで、大変美味しゅうございました😋

(Translated by Google) It was close by after the dinosaur museum so I ordered a seafood bowl and soba set. They were a little unfriendly... The couple who happened to be there at the same time didn't even notice me calling them, so I just laughed bitterly. The atmosphere was awkward from start to finish... The seafood bowl was pretty tasty. (Original) 恐竜博物館の後に近くで入りやすかったので海鮮丼と蕎麦のセットを注文。 ちょっと愛想のなさが‥ 一緒にたまたま入店した夫婦の方も呼んでても気づかず苦笑 終始微妙な空気が‥ 海鮮丼は結構美味い。

(Translated by Google) Those hoping for Fukui Prefecture soba will be disappointed. The sauced pork cutlet bowl was delicious. (Original) 福井県の蕎麦を期待した人はがっかり。 ソースかつ丼は美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) Let me start by saying this! This is a place where visitors from outside Fukui Prefecture who missed out on the food at the Dinosaur Museum can go and find something nearby! Even if Fukui residents go, the satisfaction level will be low (lol). As mentioned in other reviews, if you're looking for great customer service, I recommend not going! However, if you're just going to fill your stomach, it's probably fine, right? (lol) (Original) 第一前提として言っておきます！ 恐竜博物館でご飯が食べれなかった県外客が近場で済まそうということで行く場所です！ 間違っても福井県民がいくと満足度としては低いです（笑） 他のレビューにもありますが接客やサービスを望まれる方は行かない方がいいかと！ ただ、お腹を満たす為の利用でしたらいいんじゃないですかね?（笑）

Japanese menu only 😂 . But food is delicious .

Absolutely amazing. We have been in Japan for a week and this is by far the BEST meal we have had. Amazing service and attention to detail. The staff was attentive and so kind. We sat at the bar counter and watched the chefs cook. We had the best time.

We had the best of experiences combining relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. They excelled in the way we were treated. We got the menu explained to us dish by dish as our Japanese is basic. The owner also treated us with several specialities on the house.

Sat at counter and had one of the most memorable meals of my life. Chef was so nice - food was *incredible*!! Waygu steak was the best steak of my life. Wife had the ramen which she loved. Don’t miss this place - it was a highlight of our two week trip to Japan!

Very good! Highly recommend+++

Nice lunch place :)

(Translated by Google) I came to Katsuyama City with my mother. Katsuyama City is bustling with activity as Ryusenji Hakusan Shrine is open to the public once every 33 years. The Dinosaur Museum is also collaborating with Pokémon, and it seems to be visited by many children. We visited Hakusan Shrine. We made a reservation at a restaurant with good Google ratings within walking distance of the hotel. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, more like a small restaurant than an izakaya. For drinks, we had draft beer, bottled beer, and two cups of sake, a local Fukui sake. ◼️Luxurious assortment of sashimi ◼️Grilled eggplant, bacon and tomato salad ◼️Fried Fukui shrimp ◼️Seafood sticky bomb ◼️Mentaiko cheese binbin grilled ◼️Clam broth ramen ◼️Fukui plum rice ball ◼️Zenzai with salted ice cream The assortment of sashimi is fresh and luxuriously presented♪ There were several types of salad, but the waiter recommended the most popular one. It was voluminous and delicious♪ We could see the seared Satsuma red chicken being grilled! We had it with yuzu pepper and lots of green onions! This also goes well with sake♪ The seafood sticky bomb was a mix of lots of seafood and natto, served with seaweed and mustard♪ A new Fukui specialty? Binbinyaki seems to have yam and mochi in it! When I asked if the takoyaki flavor was mentaiko cheese, I was told that mentaiko cheese is often used. It's a delicious, melt-in-yaki dish♪ I was surprised by the clam broth ramen♪ They brought out a lot of clams that were used in the broth! A mountain of clams♪ The ramen soup has a lot of clam extract in it, and it warms your body♪ I ordered the onigiri because my mother wanted to eat it lol Ramen and onigiri! I ate way too much. I wasn't planning on having dessert, but my mother said she couldn't finish without dessert, so I asked for the bill, but we added more lol I was surprised that even the dessert was delicious♪ The salty ice cream and zenzai pattern matched perfectly♪ I was surprised that the bill was more reasonable than I expected, considering how much I drank and ate! I plan to visit Fukui once a year, so I'd definitely like to visit this restaurant again♪ The food, presentation, drinks, and customer service were all great! Thank you for the meal♪ (Original) 勝山市に母と来ました。竜泉寺白山神社、33年に一度の御開帳という事で勝山市が賑わっています。 また、恐竜博物館もポケモンとコラボしており、子供たちもたくさん訪れているようです。 私たちは白山神社に伺いました。 ホテルからと徒歩圏内でGoogle評価が良いお店を予約しました。 店内は居酒屋さんというより小料理屋のような綺麗なお店です。 飲み物は生ビール、瓶ビール、日本酒2合　福井の地酒頂きました。 ◼️お刺身盛り合わせ　贅沢盛り ◼️焼きなすとベーコンとトマトのサラダ ◼️福井のがさ海老の唐揚げ ◼️さつま赤鶏のたたき ◼️海鮮ねばねば爆弾 ◼️明太チーズビンビン焼 ◼️しじみ貝だしラーメン ◼️おにぎり　福井梅 ◼️ぜんざい塩アイスのせ お刺身の盛り合わせは新鮮で盛り付けも豪華です♪ サラダは何種類かありましたが、店員さんによく出るものをすすめてもらいました。 ボリュームがあって美味しい♪ さつま赤鶏のたたきは炙っているところも見えました！柚子胡椒とたくさんのネギで頂きます！ これも日本酒が進みます♪ 海鮮ねばねば爆弾は　たくさんの海鮮と納豆が混ぜてあるのを海苔とカラシで頂きました♪ 福井新名物？ビンビン焼は長芋と餅が入ってそう！ たこ焼き味が明太チーズか確認すると明太チーズがよく出るそう。トロトロ焼き系で美味しい♪ びっくりしたのがしじみ貝だしラーメン♪ 出汁で使ったたっぷりのしじみをどうぞと先に持って来てくださいました！ 山盛りのしじみ♪ラーメンのスープはしっかりしじみのエキスが入っていて身体に沁みます♪ おにぎりは母が食べたくて注文笑 ラーメンとおにぎり！完全に食べすぎました。 デザート食べるつもりでは無かったのですが、母がデザート食べないと終われないとお会計お願いしてたのに、追加しました笑 このデザートまで美味しいのはびっくり♪ しっかり塩味が効いたアイスとぜんざい柄見事にマッチしていました♪ たくさん飲んで食べたわりには、お会計も思ったよりリーズナブルでびっくりでした！ 福井に年に一度は訪れたいと思っているので、またこのお店は是非伺いたいですね♪ お料理も盛り付けもお酒も接客も素晴らしかったです！ ご馳走様でした♪
