    Shiga Omihachiman-shi Miyauchicho Hi

    日牟禮八幡宮を参拝後、お土産を調達に寄りました。 店内はパテシェの作業が見えて、甘いバターの香りがしていました。 バームクーヘンとリーフパイのミニを購入。ふわっと柔らかくしっとりとしたバームクーヘンは贈った友に喜ばれました。 バーククーヘンは平らにして持ち運びなので、持って観光するのはちょっと厳しい。

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.
