    市営駐車場の近くでした。入場券は先に旧伴家住宅で共通のものを購入しました。郷土資料館と歴史民俗資料館が別の建屋の展示になっていました。漁業の歴史というと海に面した町でしか見たことがなかったので湖の漁業の歴史展示は興味深く拝見しました。ここでも近江商人の生活展示がありました。

    日野町中心部の裏道に立地している。入館料300円。 日野商人であった山中兵右衛門の邸宅。1936年築ということなので、それほど古い建物ではない。館内には日野商人が使用していた道具などが展示されているとのことだが、休館日だったので中に入ることはできなかった。

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.
