When you want to see cherry blossoms in Fukui City and ask around where you should go first, you'd be told to go either to the banks of Asuwa River or this place, Fukui Castle Ruins. Located a 10 minutes walk from JR Fukui Station, Fukui Castle Ruins is one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Fukui City.
