スタイリッシュでオシャレな空間が広がります。 せっかくの環境なのに、来館者が少ないですね。 ポイント毎に女性スタッフが立っておられるのが多過ぎに感じてしまうほど。 カフェやショップも楽しみの一つだったのですが、少々期待はずれ。滋賀のこだわりの品が並ぶというものの、見せ方、演出の仕方がどうなのかな？という感じ。何よりショップが箱でなくオープンスペースなのが落ち着きませんでした。 また、名前まで...

醒ヶ井へ梅花藻見に行く途中に寄りました。入口入るやいなや鱒がたくさん泳いでいました。園内は広く鱒釣りができるようです。川には梅花藻が咲いていて綺麗でした。食事をするお店はなかったです。20分ほど、泳いでる鱒と川に咲いてる梅花藻を見て、養鱒場を後にしました。車で行きましたが、駐車料金と入場料はちょっと高かったなと思います。

草津市街の南の山手にある。 急激な拡大を続ける草津市としては新幹線や高速道路の通るあたりは立命館や龍谷、滋賀医大などの大学を中心とした一大学研エリアであって、貴重な自然の残る住宅地の一部となりつつあるのだろうか。 ロクハ荘とプールといった施設を中心に、ロクハ池の周囲にはスポーツ広場・野外ステージ・キャンプ場もあるらしい。 入口近くの駐車場には利用料金表示があったが誰もいなくて徴収されなかった。

Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
