    Shiga Pref. Nagahamashi Odanigujouchou , Shiba prefecture Nagahama shi Kohokucho Ibe
    A designated National Historic Site located in Ibe Kohoku-cho, Nagahama City. The castle belonged to the Azai clan and is known for its connection to Chacha, Hatsu, and Go, three famous sisters born between the samurai lord Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, the younger sister of the mighty lord Oda Nobunaga. After the downfall of the Azai clan, the castle temporarily passed into the possession of the great lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi but was later abandoned. An archeological excavation conducted decades ago discovered ruins believed to have been the castle’s palatial residence and storehouses.

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.
