The skilled stone work on display at Ichijodani, the castle town of the Asakura Clan, served many purposes. The massive boulders at the Shimokido Ruins lent their strength to the castle’s formidable defenses. Old unearthed foundation stones, rocky layouts of houses and rooms, and artistic rock formations found in elaborate gardens, each give us insight into the daily lives of local samurai and merchants. In addition, Fukui’s native shakudani rock was used in the construction of old private water wells that dot the valley.
