🇯🇵 Kagokake, Abandoned Village in Ikeda Fukui, 福井県池田町籠掛 (廃村) | June 2025 [4K Binaural]
This video documents a walking visit to Kagokake (籠掛), an abandoned mountain village in Ikeda Town, Fukui Prefecture (福井県池田町), filmed in June 2025.
Kagokake was largely abandoned by the 1970s. A few remains were found—only some small sheds, a solitary Jizō statue by the roadside, and a stone monument at 4:17. The monument reads “Site of Kawara Kyūsuke? (河原久介跡地)”, indicating that a home of a person once stood at this location.
Although I visited and filmed Kagokake in 2021, that footage was unfortunately lost. At that time, I met former residents who had returned to perform maintenance. One mentioned that above the slope on the left (seen at 6:22 in the video), there used to be a playground.
