In addition to recreating a portion of the Asakura residence, where the 5th lord, Asakura Yoshikage, lived, to its original scale, highlights include the exposed display of stone pavement ruins, thought to be part of the river port "Ichijo's Inlet," a key distribution hub, and a giant diorama recreating the town below the castle at a 1/30th scale.
Located about 10 kilometers southeast of Fukui City, in Ichijodani, the Asakura clan ruins mark the site of a castle town where the Asakura family, over five generations, ruled the province of Echizen for 103 years during the Sengoku period. The remains of samurai residences, temples, townhouses, artisan houses, and roads have been excavated in almost perfect condition, and the site has been designated as an Important Cultural Property, Special Historic Site, and Place of Scenic Beauty by the national government.
