Sabae in Fukui is famous for its glasses. Lens Park is a stylish shop with lenses and a cafe in Sabae! The French toast lunch I had there was my favorite type, sweet and salty 🤍 and it was amazing! I was being greedy and had "Mememon" for dessert! It was quite sweet, but I ate it all up 🤣 The pink one is seasonal 🍓 It seems to change depending on the season, so check out their official Instagram! You can have as much coffee as you want!? (2024.04) There was Wi-Fi and a spacious space that looked super comfortable for working...!! If it was closer, I'd definitely be hanging out there. lol [From Lens Park official website] Address: 1-3-31 Maruyama-cho, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture Hours: 10:00-19:00 Closed: Closed on Tuesdays Café last orders 18:30 (17:00 only on Mondays) Parking: 9 spaces #gourmettrip #Fukuitrip #Fukuitourism #Fukuigourmet #Fukuicafe #girlstrip

#cherryblossom25 📍 Location: Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture 📅 Best Time: Early May Every year in early May, Nishiyama Park transforms into a romantic wonderland with over 50,000 blooming azalea bushes carpeting the hillsides in vibrant shades of pink, purple, and white. The layered landscape creates the illusion of a living floral tapestry—stretching endlessly across the park. Whether you're walking among the blooms or simply soaking it in, the experience is unforgettable 🌸✨ 🧭 Tips for Visiting Avoid Golden Week if possible—weekdays are quieter and more relaxing. Even on weekdays, you’ll find fellow flower lovers leisurely strolling, admiring, and snapping photos of the colorful floral trails. #naturalwonders

Sabae's glasses are delicate glasses made by Japan's proud glasses craftsmen, but to be honest, when I visited Sabae for the first time, I thought I'd never seen such a unique town! There's nothing in particular, but there's nothing but glasses (lol) Looking back, it's interesting to think that it was a hit. I've been a glasses user for a long time, so I have a strong attachment to glasses, but I never thought of turning the whole town into glasses. I visited Sabae because I wanted to visit the Glasses Museum, but it was a town dominated by glasses. #Sabae #GlassesMuseum #Fukui #0YenTripAutumn 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (closed on Wednesdays) 💰Price per person: Free admission

I visited the RENEW crafting event held in Sabae City, Echizen City, and Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture! . I didn't plan to stop by Urushi no Sato at the general information center, but when I went there, there were a lot of food trucks! I had so much fun that I stopped by other shops and workshops and more and more interesting workshops came up, I wish I had more time 😭 I want to make glasses, stools, and Echizen washi paper, which can only be done here, so I'll take revenge again someday 💪🏻 .

There are many glasses spots around Sabae Station, one of the world's leading glasses production areas.

Oh, don't worry about the shoes that were just worn but one of the decorations came off 😂 I complained on the story and they replaced them right away, so the power of SNS is great. 📍Glasses Street 🗺️Fukui, Japan 🕑 - 💰 - #FuriTabi #DomesticTravel #FukuiTrip

I love watching live music, and this time, when I went to see a live performance at Sandome Fukui, I took a walk along "Glasses Street" that continues from JR Sabae Station. Glasses, glasses, glasses everywhere!!! Did you know that 95% of Japanese eyeglass frames are currently made in Fukui City and Sabae City? 💭 This idea was born because the area was buried in snow in winter during the Meiji period. Masunaga Gozaemon and his brother Kohachi wanted to improve the lives of their hometown, so they started making glasses as a way to earn money during the winter farming off-season. Then, as movable type became more widespread, the demand for glasses increased, and Japanese glasses are still loved all over Japan and the world today. There were unique glasses-themed decorations all over the sidewalks, and I felt like I was looking for hidden Mickeys🤤 (lol) The whole town was well-maintained and very clean, so it was perfect for a walk on a sunny day. Why not take a stroll around the area? #domestictravel #Fukui #girlstrip #solotravel #Sabae #walk #stroll #instagrammable #photogenic 📍Hinode 1-2, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture
