Fukui Prefecture sits on Japan's lonely western coast — the Sea of Japan side few foreign visitors ever reach. The headline sight is Tojinbo, kilometre-long columnar basalt cliffs that drop 30m straight into the sea. South of the cliffs the coast becomes a series of fishing coves and hairpin turns winding down to Cape Echizen, with the 850-year-old Echizen pottery kilns (one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan) inland. End in Tsuruga at the magnificent Kehi Matsubara pine beach — a 1km strip of black pines and white sand listed as one of the Three Great Pine Forests of Japan.
