Tsuruga, Obama, Wakasa
Tsuruga is known for its seafood. In the Japan Sea fishing town, many fresh seafood, including "aji no hama-yaki," are transported alive from the port, and you can enjoy "seiko-gani" and "zuwai-gani," the king of domestic crabs, among others. At sushi restaurants, you can enjoy rare ingredients such as "nodoguro" and "manbou," which are rarely eaten elsewhere, so be sure to visit at least once or you will regret it! Obama is also famous for its seafood as it is called a fisherman's town, but it actually has many cultural assets such as Tada-ji, one of the three major Yakushiji temples in Japan.
