When speaking of "Japan's Top 100 Castles" in Fukui Prefecture, the first name that comes to mind might be "Maruoka Castle", which is one of the 12 existing castle towers. However, there is a castle with a longer history than Maruoka Castle - "Ichijodani Castle", nicknamed the "Hokuriku's Little Kyoto", that is located in a valley along the river and is surrounded by a spacious and bustling castle town.
