Shizugatake Lift

4.0

"This scenic lift is located in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. The single-seater lift takes around six minutes to travel from the Kinomoto side to the vicinity of the top of Mt. Shizugatake. From the top of the mountain, visitors can take in a sweeping view of Lake Biwa, Lake Yogo, Chikubu Island, and Mt. Ibuki. Patches of Japanese irises grow along the lift route, and from late April through mid-May, riders can enjoy a journey through the air while gazing at beautiful iris blossoms. Mt. Shizugatake is also a well-known ancient battle site, and relevant spots worth visiting on the mountain include replicas of the battle flags of the ""Seven Spears,"" seven generals who served under Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Battle of Shizugatake who were later promoted to the status of daimyo lord for their meritorious service; and a statue depicting an exhausted, post-battle Hideyoshi."

so I walked to top of this Shizugatake on foot.余呉湖観光館にてリフトについて聞くともともと赤字だったので復旧の予定なしとのこと。余呉湖側から山道を1.5km歩いて山頂到達しました。
ながーいリフト

ひっそりとした駐車場から細い階段を上ってこんな所にリフトがあるの？って思う所に乗り場がある。8月とは言え平日の午前中だから人が少なかったのかな？見かけたお客さんは数人、リフトは貸し切り状態でした。大人が往復で900円。夏は団扇がもらえます。リフトはなかなかの急勾配で長さもあり若干の恐怖感あり。でも頂上からは琵琶湖と余呉湖が望めて景色は最高です。昼間はもっと観光客がいるのかもしれませんが、もっと...
シャガの群生がおみごと

リフトは斜面の土砂崩れのため営業はしていませんでした。リフトの乗り場横から登山道を３-４分上るとそこはシャガの群生地。２０１９年５月６日
