I went to Tsuruga via public transport during foliage season. 3D2N. The full day I had was spent at Mitaka Goko and the Michi no Eki Wakasa Mihama Hamabiyori. Both locations were serviced by the same loop bus. Visited popular local eats and some of the attractions in Tsuruga.

That's quite far away from Fukui.
Ah you meant Fukui station area, rather than Fukui Prefecture. The above mentioned is within Fukui Prefecture. Not familiar with that area.
Few things come to mind: Fukui Dinosaur Museum, Tojinbo, and Echizen Ono Castle. And Echizen crab.
Yah was planning to go to the dinosaur museum, the knife village and visit the fish market.Ah you meant Fukui station area, rather than Fukui Prefecture. The above mentioned is within Fukui Prefecture. Not familiar with that area.

Thought a full day there would suffice, not sure if there is anything else to do.
You did give me some ideas but I’m still not sure it warrants staying another additional day in the prefecture.

For Day 5 since you are driving, you can do noboribetsu in the day and drive to Lake Toya to stay for the night. In summer there's nightly fireworks at Lake Toya it's one of the highlights.
Dear all
intend to spend about at least 10 days in Hokkaido, with final 3 nights in Sapporo town.
For the 1st 7 days, i am planning to cover the usual central Hokkaido areas.
Beyond Central, I am also contemplating to either drive to Hakodate (3 hrs+ complicated drive south from Sapporo) or Wakkanai (most northern city, 4hrs+ easy drive north from Sapporo).
Any suggestion if i should travel south or north?
OR should i skip both Hakodate and Wakkanai due to the long drives?
And instead venture into western fringes of East Hokkaido i.e., Tokachi (Obihiro) and the Akan-Mashu area?
Any comment/ suggestion is welcome.
TIA

When you going? depend on season.
Hakodate is famous for Goryōkaku, no flower season not worth going. And Mt. Hakodate
Lake Toya highly recommend but good hotel is expensive, so 1 night enough.
Otaru good for buying food and souvenir.
June, sakura season over, Goryōkaku nothing special, can skip Hakodate if you want.
You can google for june which flower and fruit season, should be Furano and Biei area.
Fruit picking strawberries.
I did a 17day road trip covering Kyushu last Dec... I used Kumamoto as a base to do several day trip to further places...
Fukuoka->Nagasaki->Kumamoto->Kurokawa->Yufuin->Beppu->Fukuoka
On the way from Fukuoka to Nagasaki... drop by Yutoku Inari Shrine
Nagasaki --- Mt Inasa, Atomic Bomb Museum, Dejima, Chinatown, Glover Garden, Confucius Temple
Kumamoto --- Udo Shrine, Aoshima (Day Trip)
Mt Aso, Shirakawa Spring (Day Trip)
Yanagawa (Day Trip)
Takachiho Gorge, Amaterasu Railway, Amanoyasukawara Shrine (Day Trip)
Kurokawa/Yufuin/Beppu --- Relax at Onsen and local walk around
On the way from Beppu back to Fukuoka... Kyushu Wildlife Safari
Fukuoka will be all the usual hotspots... Dazaifu, Nanzo-in Temple, Lala Port, Shopping at various spots etc...
