Ichijodani Asakura Clan Ruins Restored Town
The ruins of the castle town where the Asakura clan ruled Echizen for 100 years during the Warring States period, in the 15th and 16th centuries, and where the Asakura clan flourished for five generations, have been excavated and recreated in almost complete form, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the historical romance of the era.
