Meet Fukui’s prehistoric residents as soon as you step outside Fukui Station. The west exit features dinosaur attractions celebrating the many fossils excavated in the prefecture. Moving models of Fukuiraptor, Fukuisaurus, and Fukuititan create the main spectacle, bringing species associated with Fukui to life. The station continues the theme with dinosaur murals, giant eggs, nighttime illumination, and playful trick art that makes the creatures appear to burst from the walls. These displays turn a transport hub into an entertaining introduction to Fukui’s identity as Japan’s dinosaur capital. For dinosaur enthusiasts, the station is also a natural starting point for a wider visit: the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum displays extensive fossil collections and full-body skeletons, including dinosaurs named after the region.
