    Shiga Koka-shi Tsuchiyamacho Kitatsuchiyama 1570
    A three-minute walk from Ohmi Tsuchiyama Station (not to be confused with Tsuchiyama Station), and a five-minute drive from the Koka-Tsuchiyama Interchange. This memorial museum is located near the site of the Tsuchiyama clan honjin stronghold in what was once the post station town of Tsuchiyama-juku on the old Tokaido Highway. Operating out of an old Japanese home built in the late Edo period, the structure itself is one of the museum's exhibits. In addition to introducing the history of Tsuchiyama-juku, museum exhibits include indoor and outdoor models of the old Tokaido Highway depicting government officials moving along its length. The museum also gives visitors the chance to put on traditional Japanese traveling garb and have their picture taken, offers a tea dying activity which uses the area's famous tea, and sells local specialty products.

    東海道伝馬館は、古民家を活かした施設で1階には土山宿のジオラマがある。２階には東海道五十三次を再現した立体展示もある。これは見ごたえあり！！ 外の蔵には、大名行列の人形が並ぶなど、土山宿に関することを知る事ができる。 時期によっては、伝馬館でミニコンサートや展覧会が行われている。

    A 10-minute walk from JR Adogawa Station. This memorial museum is located next to the Tojukinenkan-mae bus stop. Nakano Toju was an early Edo period Confucianist born in Omi who is also celebrated as the forefather of Japanese neo-Confucianism, and the museum displays his personal affects and other items.

    Shiga Nagahama-shi Takatsukicho Doganji 115
    "This memorial room located on the second floor of the Nagahama Municipal Takatsuki Library is dedicated to Yasushi Inoue. An author, Inoue famously loved the Buddhist statues found on the north side of Lake Biwa, even depicting National Treasure-designated eleven-faced statues of Kannon in his novel ""Hoshi to Matsuri"" and essay collection ""Utsukushiki mono to no deai."" Inoue's writings as well as his favorite bag, manuscripts written in his own hand, and photographs are displayed in the room; there is also information on Inoue's interactions with people living on the north side of Lake Biwa. In addition, there's a corner recreating Inoue's study, giving visitors the opportunity to see what it looked like when the author was alive."

    Shiga Inukami-gun Toyosatocho

    伊藤忠商事や丸紅の創業者の自宅です。館内は当時の仕事場の風景やお庭、また倉には仕事で使われた品々が保管されていました。一つ面白かったのは今でいう社員旅行の写真、門前で全員が集まった様子を見て当時も慰安旅行が有ったんだと感心しました。無料で入場出来ます。

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.
