    Shiga Pref. Kusatsushi Kusatsu 1-2-8
    A National Historic Site located in 1 Chome Kusatsu, Kusatsu City. This honjin, or inn for government officials, was located in Kusatsujuku, a post station town which prospered due to its location at the confluence of the major Tokaido and Nakasendo Highways. During its heyday, the inn lodged numerous famous samurai lords. The building contains exhibits on the history of Kusatsujuku, including an account book inscribed with the names of various famous historic figures. Traditional rakugo comedic storytelling performances are held each month in the adjoining Rakuzakan performance hall.

    JR草津駅から徒歩10分ほど。旧中山道と旧東海道が交わる、追分道標のすぐ近くにあります。建物じたいは復元されていますが、江戸時代大名が宿泊したところという、雰囲気は残っています。

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.
