About this place
Miketsukuni Wakasa Obama Food Culture Museum is Japan's first public food culture museum, in Obama, Fukui Prefecture. From August 2000, Obama advanced a regional promotion policy centered on food resources under the banner of "food-based town development." In 2001 it enacted the "Obama City Food-Based Town Development Ordinance," setting out comprehensive efforts addressing not only industrial and tourism promotion but also the many aspects of food, such as production, processing and culture.
