Fantastic 5.0

It was faster and more convenient than buying tickets at the counter. There's a lot to see inside the facility, but if you just want a quick look, an hour is sufficient. Buses from the station are infrequent, so it's best to check the schedule in advance. I was surprised to see creatures specialized in lake environments, even though it's a museum. While access is inconvenient, I think the content itself is excellent.

The facility was beautiful and interesting, and one hour wasn't enough. I learned a lot about the formation and history of Lake Biwa, as well as its creatures and plants. There was also an exhibition room that felt like an aquarium. I had an errand, so I left once and then re-entered. The closing time was 5 PM, so I was there for about two hours in total, but I would have liked to take more time if I had it. Lake Biwa was right in front of me, and it was very beautiful and refreshing. I was also happy that parking was free and that children up to high school age could enter for free.

It’s super worth the ticket price. I originally just wanted to join one of my itineraries, but ended up not finishing it until it closed. It’s a highly recommended place! As long as you are watching the exhibition, parking is free!

It's amazing that you can enjoy such a wide range of exhibits for this admission fee! The grounds are large and there is so much to see that one day is not enough. The kids were fascinated by the seals. The black bass tempura we had at the restaurant in the museum was surprisingly delicious.

Great 4.0

Although it was Sunday, it was empty and I was able to park in a nearby parking lot. At the in-house restaurant, we could eat together as a family without having to wait even at lunchtime. It's a pity that the aquarium tunnel is closed. There is a roadside station nearby and I enjoyed shopping.

It is an interesting museum with an aquarium area as well. Make sure to check the bus schedule when you go.

Lake Biwa is an ancient lake, home to over 2,000 species of organisms, including endemic species found nowhere else. The Lake Biwa Museum showcases the lake’s formation and history, the animals that inhabited the region, the history of people around the lake, and the connection between modern people and the lake. In addition to three exhibition rooms covering geological history, human history, and nature related to our lives, the museum also features one of Japan’s largest freshwater aquariums, spanning approximately 2,000 square meters. The particularly large tunnel aquarium gives visitors the sensation of being at the bottom of the lake. The museum also has a “Discovery and Exploration” room equipped with microscopes, offering opportunities to observe and touch many biological, geological, and cultural specimens.
