    Shiga Konan-shi Ameyama 2-1-1
    "An eight-minute drive from Ishibe Station on the JR Kusatsu Line. This mini ""theme park,"" located in Ameyama Cultural Sports Park, recreates the Edo period post station town of Ishibe, which bustled as one of the famous 53 stations of the Tokaido Highway. Past the checkpoint barrier at the entrance, you'll find a stone-paved townscape lined with late Edo period farming and merchant homes, an inn, and a teahouse. Each has been recreated in exacting detail, even the unique architecture of the homes of the time, which were long and narrow to reduce taxes and known as ""eel beds"" due to their shape resembling eel traps. Visitors can also view the inside of the buildings and see the implements people of the time used as part of everyday life, as well as exhibits on period folk culture and customs."

    Shiga Konan-shi Higashitera 2-11-9
    "A one-minute walk from the Iwanehigashiguchi bus stop on the Community Bus leaving from Mikumo Station on the JR Kusatsu Line. This pottery studio has been in business since around 1750 and is the only pottery studio to have passed down the techniques of Omi Shimoda-yaki pottery in an unbroken line. Designated a Traditional Craft by Shiga Prefecture, Shimoda-yaki is characterized by its simple designs and use of a deep blue hue called ""Gosu."" Newness and novelty resides in the traditional, charming simplicity of Shimoda-yaki, and Shimoda-yaki plates, teacups, bowls, and other tableware is perfect not only for everyday use but also for entertaining guests and for giving as gifts and souvenirs. The studio also offers teacup and plate painting activities and pottery making activities as well. Both types of activities require a reservation made at least two weeks in advance."

    Shiga Konan-shi Hari 756
    An eight-minute walk from Kosei Station on the JR Kusatsu Line. This longstanding sake company brewery stands in between Minakuchi-shuku and Ishibe-shuku, two old post station towns situated along the former Tokaido Highway which once served as a key transportation hub connecting the eastern and western parts of the country. Using underground spring water from the Suzuka Mountains and supreme sake rice grown on the Omi Plain, known for its exceptional rice growing conditions, the company's signature Miyosakae brand of authentic sakes are fermented and stored entirely at low temperatures and are renowned for their unbelievably delicious flavor. The company's new Kitajima brand, meanwhile, is a back to basics series of sakes made according to the traditional kimoto-zukuri method, the origin of all other sake making methods, and are notable for their smooth and intense flavor. The brewery offers sake samples and sells sake, and also offers brewery tours (advance reservation required).

    Shiga Kusatsu-shi Shimogasacho 1434

    The only reason Senso-ji gets a 4 is because of how busy it was you could hardly get through the crowds to get to it. When you did though the temple was very good, I would still say worth a visit.

    Shiga Moriyama-shi Katsube 1-chome 8-8

    住吉神社と二つで一つ、みたいなセットになっている伝説がある寺院です。正式名は物部郷総社勝部神社と云います。戦前は物部大明神とか物部神社、勝部大明神とも呼ばれていたそうです。創建は極めて古く、大化５年、西暦６４９年で、創建後、既に１３６９年を数える縁起を誇る名刹です。境内は鎮守の森を有するそこそこの広さがあります。社殿そのものは後年、１５００年頃に再建されたものですが。本殿は重文、松明祭は勝部の火祭...

    Shiga Ritto-shi Heso 7-chome 5-5

    以前の体験ですが・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 檜皮葺の屋根が残る伝統を感じさせる神社で、落ち着いた雰囲気のある場所でした。栗東駅から徒歩で行きましたが、駅の案内にも大宝神社が大きく書かれており、地元では有名な観光地のようでした。その割に一度駅を離れてしまうと途中に全く道案内はなく、神社の鎮守の森を目印にたどり着いた感じです。 [写真はこちら]https://www.tripadvisor...

    Shiga Moriyama-shi Moriyama 2-chome

    毎月17日に門前アート市がある。規模がこじんまりとしていてちょうど良い。駅からも近い、市営の駐車場からも近い。 広さの割に境内の古木が大きく、樹形に魅せられるものがある。この季節は青紅葉が美しい。笹も涼しげ。流れる小川も静かで風流だ。 中山道沿いなだけあり、周辺も雰囲気が良い。 訪れた際はアート市開催中で、訪れる人々に地域に開けた寺院だと感じた。

    JR草津駅の駅改札をでてすぐ。駅コンコース内にあります。窓口じたいが小さいのでややわかりにくいですが、係の方も常駐されています。こちらに草津、南草津の散策マップやパンフレット類もあります。草津のマップをいただいて、旧東海道あたりを散策です。

    草津の旧東海道ぞいにある寺院。散策マップに国指定重要文化財の本尊阿弥陀如来座像があるとのことで立ち寄りましたが、拝観はできませんでした。敷地は広いですが、本堂は小さいです。

    Shiga Kusatsu-shi Shibukawa 2-chome 2-1

    草創は明らかでないが、古くは天大将軍社と称し、平安の頃に、この里に疫病が流行したため、村人がその沈静を願って大将軍を祀ったのが始まりと伝えられています。コロナ禍退散を願いお参りしました。中門の前には鳩も祀られていました。本殿は重要文化財で、1468年(応仁2年)建立の棟札が残るります。狛犬は笑顔で出迎えているようで愛嬌があります。

    浜街道に沿って走るといきなり木々に覆われた森がある。そこが小津神社。創建等は不明ではあるが応仁の乱の兵火によって焼失した本殿を、近江守護六角高頼によって再建された。しかし永正の錯乱によって再び焼失し、戦国時代に延暦寺山門派の僧実観明舜房によって、18ヶ年の歳月を経て再建されたものが現在の本殿となっている。 夜でもこの森は目立つ上に敷地が広く、初訪問では入口がわからない程の規模がある。かの足利尊氏...

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.
