Kani Factory is Japan’s first crab-themed park,
operated by Kouragumi, a crab specialty company founded in Fukui Prefecture.
Here, visitors can fully enjoy the world of crabs through fun,
delicious, and interactive experiences.
Watch crabs transform through processing at the open factory,
savor a wide variety of crab dishes and fresh seafood at the food court
and restaurant, and let children play freely in the kids’ area.
Kani Factory is truly a hands-on crab paradise where you can see, taste,
and experience everything crab-related.
Echizen Crab Craftsman Kouragumi is an online shop originating from Fukui that deals in general foods, primarily seafood centered on crabs. We have won the "Shop of the Year Seafood Genre Award" on Rakuten Ichiba for four consecutive years starting in 2017. In 2021, we achieved 1st place in the Food Category of the PayPay Mall Annual Best Store 2020.
Before your eyes, you can observe through the clear glass the process as crabs transform into Kouragumi's mega-hit product, "Cut Raw Snow Crab." See how the crab you usually enjoy in hot pots is prepared and delivered to your table!
Wow!
Where do crabs come from, and where do they live? Interesting trivia about crabs is scattered throughout Kani Factory. While you play, eat, and marvel, these facts will naturally stick in your mind! By the time you go home, you'll surely be a crab expert!
I'm
curious!!
At Kani Factory, we have prepared a bounty of seasonal seafood, starting with crabs, and the tastes of Fukui Prefecture, a treasure trove of food. The crab dishes, prepared with great skill by Kouragumi's proud craftsmen, are exquisite. Enjoy them there, take them home as souvenirs, and enjoy them to your heart's content.
Looks
delicious!
At the "Digital Drawing Corner," one of Kani Factory's highlights, the crab you draw will come to life and start moving! You can also enter your drawn crab into a race! Cheer on your crab as it dashes (sideways?) through the course! Tear up the track!
Go for it!
