    JR大津駅の近くの銭湯です。地域密着型で地元の人に愛される銭湯です。サウナは、100円ですが、別に払わなくてもサウナに入れるようでした。店の人は、無愛想でしたが、露天風呂があったのと水風呂が気持ち良かったので、この評価となりました。

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.
