  • Shigaraki Pottery Studio Walking Route
    Travel / Tourism
    Shiga Koka-shi Shigarakicho Nagano 1055-1
    This history-leaden and atmospheric hill road leads away from Shigaraki Kohgen Railway Shigaraki Station, and the climbing kilns and artlessly crafted old pottery braziers which it leads to exude an air that is unique to Shigaraki. The walking route is dotted with 22 pottery studios and visitors can follow the directions of ceramic tiles embedded in the road and ceramic guideposts to visit the various studios. There are four recommended courses - the Rokurozaka, Hiirotsubozaka, Kamabazaka, and Soto no Rin - and visitors can choose a course based on their stamina and available time or just walk wherever they feel like. Excluding restricted areas, visitors may also view the insides of the pottery studios.

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.
