    快晴の日でしたがロープウェイで標高1100mの山頂につくとモヤがかかっていて、ぼんやりとした景色しか見えませんでした。それでも琵琶湖を一望できる景色は素晴らしかったです。水盤が琵琶湖と一体化するようにデザインされていて美しいです。 レストランとカフェがありましたが土産物店はありませんでした。お土産はロープウェイの下の駅で少しだけ売っていました。

    Shiga Koka-shi Shigarakicho Nagano 1361-4

    ランチで利用。 信楽駅から徒歩でいけますが 少しわかりにくいかな。 森の中の倉庫?的な感じでなかなか 映えるかも。 ランチのナスの1本揚げは ほんまに丸々1本フライにしてあり 中にチーズやベーコンが挟んでて なかなかジューシー。 人気があるのはわかる気がするなぁと思える 女子が好きそうな感じのお店でした。

Their cakes, made on the motto of ""Mildly flavored cake you'll never get tired of, just like mother made,"" is popular with customers of all ages and genders."

    Shiga Koka-shi Minakuchicho Motomachi 4-16
    A 10-minute walk from Ohmi Railway Minakuchi Station. This restaurant and cafe, located in the former post station town of Minakuchi-juku which once flourished along the ancient Tokaido Highway, still exudes an atmosphere reminiscent of an Edo period hatago tavern. Decorated in Japanese modern style while retaining the elegant charms of the old townhouse out of which the restaurant operates, here customers can enjoy cuisine crafted by the experienced owner, who operated a Japanese-style delicatessen for years. The exquisite and flavorful thick-cut Matsuzaka pork deep-fried cutlet lunch is particularly recommended. The Mizukuchi pudding, a local favorite, is a popular dessert choice.

    昔の民家を改装したカフェで落ち着いた店内です。 靴を脱いで上がります。席数はそんなにないので、団体利用の時は予約をした方がいいです。

Shiga Areas

around-area-map

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.
