    妻と車椅子押しながらの散策です、あと少しのところまで来たのですが、上り坂で砂利道に足が止まりながめていると（赤レンガの煙突）上のほうから小走りで、お家方が、向かい来てくださり、展示場まで案内と説明をしていただきました。妻と二人で心あたまる思いをいたしました・・・スカーレットの上り坂のを思いはせながらの素敵な所です。

    窯元散策路でヘトヘトに疲れて、ようやく見つけた喫茶店。 でも、近江牛の牛丼がリーズナブルに食べられて、ギャラリーもあります。 甘めの味付けですが、疲れたカラダにピッタリです。 混雑すると待たされますが、ゆっくり器を見て心地よく待てます。 いろんな定食があるので気になりますが、近江牛の柔らかさをまずは堪能すべきです。

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. 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.
