    Shiga Pref. Otsushi Hamaotsu 5-1-1
    A pleasure cruise ship which operates out of Otsu Port in Hamaotsu, Otsu City. The cruise began operating in 1982. The ship is modeled after an American Mississippi riverboat; inside, touches like chandeliers and luxurious carpets engender an atmosphere that is out of the ordinary. The ship has two restaurants, a bar, VIP room, and sky deck offering sweeping views of Lake Biwa. The ship offers three types of cruises as well as seasonal event cruises. The ship can also be rented out and using for weddings and other special events.

    We happened upon this paddle boat cruise so decided to take it. Being from the US, the idea of cruising on a paddle boat named Michigan would be novel. The cruise took 80 minutes, cost 2780 yen...

    A five-minute walk from JR Omi-Maiko Station, and a five-minute drive from the Omi-Maiko Ramp. This fruit farm can be reached by following the two lane road to the east of Otsu Municipal Komatsu Elementary School as it curves around west. The farm has received Shiga Prefecture Environmental Conservation Agricultural Produce certification. Here visitors can enjoy strawberry picking on a same day first-come, first-served basis in most years from early May, as well as reservation-only sweet potato digging and peanut digging in autumn. The farm has no set days or hours for these events, making it possible to come and do them anytime when in season. The farm also sells strawberry jam, cookies, and other foods; the farm's strawberry-stuffed daifuku rice cakes are only available on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Shiga Pref. Otsushi Kido 1547-1

    梅雨の合間、晴天の平日を選んで乗りました。そのかいが有って、眼下に琵琶湖の素晴らしい眺望を楽しむ事が出来ました。 このロープウェイ「121人乗り」の大型で、日本最速を誇るロープウェイだとか、４-５分で山上に着いてしまいます。スキーオフの「グリーンシーズン」に「大人往復運賃が3,500円」一寸高い気がしますが、前日までに、WEBでチケットを頼めば1,000円引きの2,500円ですむそうですが、私はそ...

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.
