Ichijōdani Asakura Family Historic Ruins is one of the most worthwhile attractions in Fukui. Due to the inconvenient transportation of the ruins, we took a bus to the Ichijōdani Asakura Family museum and borrowed bicycles from the museum. The deposit for each bicycle was 1000 yen, and would be refunded after the bicycle was returned. In fact, museum also provided free shuttle service. The staffs of the museum were very kind and patiently guided us to the ruins.Then, we rode the bicycles among the fields and enjoyed the beautiful country scenery. We spended about 10 minutes to reach the ruins. The gate of the ruins was very elegant, and many tourists stop at the front of the door to take pictures. After entering the gate, we saw that many ruins of wells, walls, gardens and palaces were preserved on the ground. Following the stone steps, there was a platform with ruins of water and a bridge. It was said that when the castle was attacked, the castle owner bridge can destroy the bridge to prevent the enemies entering, which is the same as the design of Hikone Castle. Otherwise, there were some photographers taked pictures here.If you have enough time, I will suggest you to spend 2 to 3 hours to enjoy everything here.

一乘谷朝倉氏遺跡絕對是福井最值得一遊的景點。由於遺跡的交通不便，因此我們搭巴士到朝倉氏資料館，向館方借腳踏車，每台腳踏車押金1000日幣，還車後會退還。事實上，資料館也有提供接駁服務。館方人員非常和善，耐心地指引我們路線。接著，我們騎著腳踏車，漫遊在田野中，欣賞著漂亮的景色。約莫10分鐘就抵達遺跡。遺跡的大門非常雅緻，許多遊客停在門前不斷拍照。進大門後，我們看到地上保存著許多井、城牆、庭園和宮殿的遺跡，循著石階上去，有一個平台，上面存有水榭的遺跡，還有一座橋，據說當城堡遭受攻擊時，堡主可以將橋毀棄，這和彥根城的設計如出一轍。若您有時間，那麼我建議您花個2至3小時，在這裡慢慢欣賞。
