[2025 Wakasa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kumagawa juku (Updated Jun)

Kumagawa-juku. An important post town connecting Kyoto and Wakasa. A place where the townscape full of atmosphere remains☺️ On my trip to Fukui, I stayed at the “Yao Kumagawa” inn, which is quietly located in Kumagawa-juku. For dinner, I had the “Kumagawa Hospitality Meal” made by a local mother😊 It was very delicious, but the fact that the meal was delivered fresh made my heart warm🥰 . For breakfast, we made our own porridge. It was a wonderful morning, simmering in a clay pot🍚🍲. ☀︎ #Cost-effective hotel

🌼Higashiyoshihara(東吉原) in Maizuru City(舞鶴市), 🌼Kumagawajuku(熊川宿) in Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture(福井県). It's a quiet and pretty small town, and even the road there is like a Ghibli country road🌿! It's about ⏰2-3 hours away from Osaka and Kyoto by car. It's not a very big tourist spot, so it's hard to get there by train, 🚗but if you rent a car, I definitely recommend going! If you're lucky, you might even see wild monkeys on the road! 🐒 It was nice taking pictures and playing around because there were no other people. Maizuru is a port, so you can eat fresh and plentiful seafood much cheaper than Osaka or Kyoto!🦀🐟 #JapanTravel #Osaka #Kyoto #JapaneseSmallCity #Maizuru #Higashiyoshihara #Kumagawajuku #Fukui
