- [Maruoka Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/maruoka-castle): Fukui, Castle. One of Japan's 12 original castles, and a long-standing contender for the oldest surviving keep.
- [Echizen Ono Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/echizen-ono-castle): Fukui, Castle. Above Ono’s old castle town, a reconstructed keep crowns wooded Kameyama. Stone foundations and wide basin views reward the climb, while rare morning cloud conditions create the famous distant impression of a castle floating in the sky.
