DISCOVER FUKUI

The Echizen Coast is renowned as a major natural habitat for Japanese narcissus, counted among the "Three Great Natural Habitats of Japanese Narcissus" alongside Awaji Island and the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, boasting the largest area in Japan.

The Japanese narcissus blooming specifically along the Echizen Coast are known as "Echizen Narcissus" and are designated as the flower of Fukui Prefecture and the flower of Echizen Town.

The "Narcissus Festival" is held against the backdrop of this Echizen Coast.

During the festival period, events centered around the Echizen Coast in Echizen Town, Minami-Echizen Town, and Fukui City feature local product exhibitions and programs themed around narcissus.
