    Shiga Takashima-shi Shinasahicho Harie 372
    A community located in Harie Shinasahi-Cho, Takashima City. The community makes use of “kabata,” interconnected water stations used for daily needs such as washing vegetables through which the abundant spring waters of the area are circulated via canals. The kabata themselves are located on the grounds of private homes and accordingly visitors may not tour them without permission; instead, a guided tour is required to see this unique and beautiful local cultural aspect.

  • Lake Biwa Canal
    Travel / Tourism
    Shiga Pref. Otsushi Miderachou

The 20-kilometer-long Canal No. 1 was built first, followed by Canal No. 2 and canal sublines. The canal played a key role in the modern urban development of Kyoto and even today still supplies Kyoto neighborhoods with water.

The houses have magnificent whitewashed earthen warehouses and sajikimado windows, built just for watching the Hino Festival from the comfort of their homes. These line of houses are distinctive in that they are lined up in a zig-zag pattern similar to saw-teeth. This is typical of the castle town street designs of the civil war Sengoku period.
