- Shiga Higashiomi Omihachiman-shi Hikone-shi
- "An ancient side road located in Shiga Prefecture. The road branches off from the Nakasendo Highway in Yukihata, Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture; goes north of the east bank of Lake Biwa; and rejoins the Nakasendo in Toriimoto-cho, Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture. Literally meaning ""Korean People Road,"" its name is derived from the fact that it was used by envoys dispatched from Korea to deliver congratulatory addresses when new Tokugawa shoguns took office in the Edo period. The road was also used by Tokugawa Ieyasu to travel to Kyoto after he was victorious in the Battle of Sekigahara, and later became the route by which shoguns would journey to the capital. Many Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines are situated along the road, and there are also ancient signposts marking the road's divergence from the Nakasendo Highway which still stand today."

Shiga Areas
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.
