In 1982, a facility for collecting, preserving, and displaying materials related to the history and folklore of the Wakasa region was established as part of a commemorative project for the 100th anniversary of the Prefecture, and a permanent exhibition was displayed. This exhibition was renewed in April 1994 and again in July 2014, after which it officially received the status of a museum and was named "Fukui Prefectural Wakasa History Museum".

At Hey Japan!, we strive to keep the places listed on our website as current as possible. However, location owners or management may alter opening times or modify admission requirements without prior notice. Check official websites before visiting.
