Wakasa

Wakasa lies along the lowland valleys beside the Mikata Five Lakes, where cultivated fields meet the wooded foothills of the Wakasa Mountains in western Fukui. Lake Suigetsu is known for its annually layered sediments, whose sequence stretching back more than 70,000 years has helped refine radiocarbon dating. Kumagawa-juku preserves a former post station on the Saba Kaido, the route once used to carry salted mackerel towards Kyoto.
