What to expect

Lake Biwa, Shirahige Shrine, Water Torii Gate Shirahige Shrine, located on the shores of Lake Biwa, is one of the oldest shrines in the Omi region, famous for its vermilion water torii gate standing on the lake. The torii gate complements the lake and mountain scenery, and the view is particularly captivating on clear days. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent lake views of Lake Biwa and experience the unique charm of Japanese shrine culture blended with natural beauty, making it a popular spot for photos.

Lake Biwa Observation Deck Ascend to the Lake Biwa Observation Deck to take in the magnificent Lake Biwa and the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains. The scenery changes with each season: lush greenery in spring, shimmering lake waters in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and a serene, tranquil mountain and lake landscape in winter. Standing high above and gazing at the lake offers an expansive view, making it ideal for tourists who love nature and photography.

Sanzen-in Temple Journey to Sanzen-in Temple in the heart of Ohara, Kyoto, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience Kyoto’s quiet and ancient charm. The temple grounds are covered with moss and ancient trees, with each season offering a different beauty. Strolling through the gardens, you can admire the traditional Japanese garden scenery blended with nature.

La Collina Omihachiman The flagship landmark of Shiga’s long-established confectionery brand TANEYA, nestled among the greenery of Mount Hachiman, it resembles a fairy tale village. The grass-roofed buildings are incredibly eye-catching. You can taste limited-edition honey cakes and freshly baked baumkuchen, and even observe the pastry making process, making it a popular spot that combines delicious food with beautiful scenery.
