The Echizen Railway runs about once every 20-30 minutes. The trains I boarded are as follows. Depart Fukui Station at 7:23,  Echizen Railway Mikuni Ashihara Line, bound for Mikuni Minato, and arrive at Mikuni Minato station at 8:14. The ticket from Fukui Station to Mikuni Minato Station is Yen 770. I bought a one-day free ticket only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. All-you-can-ride Echizen Railway for one day is Yen 1,000 for adults (junior high school students and above) and Yen 500 for children, so it’s quite cheap if you go back and forth between Fukui Station and Mikuni Minato. The Echizen Railway vehicles were pop-colored. On the other hand, the station building of Mikuni Minato Station is an unmanned station and is quite retro.
