Imajo Soba Fukui Station

Imajo Soba (inside Fukui Station) is a standing soba shop located within JR Fukui Station. It’s popular as a sightseeing spot because you can enjoy Fukui’s famous soba the moment you get off the train. Imajo Soba is a long-established shop said to be celebrating around its 80th anniversary. The circular-shaped interior is so popular that there is often a line stretching outside. With prices starting at 330 yen for kake soba, it’s affordable, and another reason for its popularity is how quickly your order is served. It has long supported office workers and others who are short on time. Not only locals but also domestic and international tourists come back repeatedly, and the warm, energetic calls from the staff running the counter add to the charm. Since it’s a standing soba shop, there are no chairs—basically you order quickly, eat quickly, and leave quickly—so first-time visitors should keep that in mind. Imajo Soba (Fukui Station) is located inside JR Fukui Station. If you enter from outside the station, you can access the station interior by paying an admission fee at the gate.
