    Shiga Moriyama-shi Akanoicho 171-1
    "Akanoi Village, with its well-developed water transportation system, prospered as a center of the Jodo Shinshu sect, and the ""Daishoya Suwa Family Residence"" exists at its center. The Suwa family was the headman of several villages, collecting tribute, mediating, and acting as a bridge between the county magistrate and the villagers. After the Meiji Restoration, the Suwa family contributed to local autonomy and served as the first head of Yasu County and the head of Tamatsu Village."

    コロナ禍で臨時休館でした。赤野井別院西別院の駐車場から北上、濠のある小径をしばらく行くと屋敷の北端が垣間見えます。

  • Former Hikone Domain Matsubara Suburban Residence Gardens (Ohama Goten)

    Shiga Pref. Hikoneshi Matsubarachou 515
    A Japanese strolling garden built around a central pond located in Matsubara-cho, Hikone City. The garden’s moat and pond are connected to Lake Biwa and incorporate a method called “shioiri” which sinks their water levels with that of the lakes; this garden was the first in Japan to employ this method using fresh water. Twice a year, in spring and autumn, the garden is specially opened for a limited time to the public.

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.
