About

Fukui Prefectural Ichijodani Asakura Family Site Museum (Fukui Kenritsu Ichijōdani Asakurashi Iseki Hakubutsukan) is a historical museum located in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. Asakura clan, a feudal lord in the Sengoku period, had their castle in the Ichijodani (Ichijo Valley), which was burnt down by Oda Nobunaga. The museum carries a collection of excavated remains from the valley and focuses on the history of the clan as well as living around the time.
