Honored to partner with Mayor Watanabe and his team in advancing Wakasa Town’s international outreach, raising its global profile, and building meaningful partnerships that create lasting opportunities for the community.
Home to the Five Lakes of Mikata, Wakasa Town offers a remarkable blend of natural beauty, history, and scientific discovery. The town is home to the Torihama Jōmon Museum, preserving more than 12,000 years of human history and innovation, and the Fukui Varve Museum, the world’s only museum dedicated to annually layered lake sediments that contribute to global climate research.
Wakasa was also the starting point of the historic Mackerel Road (Saba Kaidō), a vital trade route linking the region to Kyoto and helping shape the cultural and culinary traditions for which the ancient capital is known today.
I look forward to continuing to strengthen Wakasa’s connections with partners around the world and sharing all that this remarkable community has to offer.
