  • Streets of Hino
    Travel / Tourism
    Shiga Gamo-gun Hino Cho Okubo
    This old town area of central Hino once flourished during the Edo period as a castle town, and later as a merchant town. Here, one can see the vestiges of bygone times along the district streets of Okamotocho, Shimizu, Shinmachi, and Okubocho with their extended wooden fences bordering merchant magnate estates. The houses have magnificent whitewashed earthen warehouses and sajikimado windows, built just for watching the Hino Festival from the comfort of their homes. These line of houses are distinctive in that they are lined up in a zig-zag pattern similar to saw-teeth. This is typical of the castle town street designs of the civil war Sengoku period.

    Just a seven-minute walk from the JR Azuchi Station, this restaurant offers Omigyu beef steaks and pork cutlets from Mochi-pork at reasonable prices. The Tokujo Tonkatsu Teishoku special grade pork cutlet set is recommended, which comes with a pork cutlet prepared to maximize the fatty flavor and tender meat, a salad, rice, and miso soup. With the Amanoya Teishoku one can enjoy a Omigyu steak and a mini roast in one dish. All vegetables are cultivated in Japan with minimal use of chemicals. The handmade dressings with no additives are sold in the store for customers to enjoy at home.

    店名が変更になったようです。安土駅から一番近い飲食店だと思います。平日のみのAセットを注文しましたが、ハンバーグ・エビフライ・コロッケ・キャベツサラダの他にご飯・味噌汁・小鉢が二つついて１４３０円。量も多く、とてもおいしかったです。

Situated in a part of the city which was once a castle town, the shop has been making and selling Omihachiman's famous aka kon'nyaku (red devil's tongue jelly) since it was founded in 1891. Aka kon'nyaku has a fine texture and is moderately soft, and it goes great in oden and other hotpot dishes and also as sashimi and in dengaku roasted dishes. The shop's popular Kon'nyaku Kakurenbo, an original product consisting of seasoned aka kon'nyaku which has been wrapped in cod fish paste and deep fried, makes a perfect side dish for any meal as well as a snack to enjoy with beer or a cup of sake.

    Shiga Omihachiman-shi Nishimotocho 61
    20 minutes from the Ryuo Interchange on the Meishin Expressway via National Route 8. This soba noodle restaurant operates out of a Tangible Cultural Property-designated Japanese residence said to have once been the home of the owner of a shipping agent. The restaurant's flavorful soba noodles are crafted by hand using flour stone-milled from buckwheat grown amidst the Yatsugatake Mountains. The restaurant's tsuyu dipping sauce is rather strong taste and is made with top-class konbu kelp and dried bonito. The restaurant's popular local chicken nanban soba, winter-only duck nanban soba, and other hot soba soups are made with light soy sauce and a Kansai-style dashi stock with light soy sauce.

    蕎麦は香が良くて、喉越しも良かったですが、サクサクの天ぷらも最高でした。価格もリーズナブルでしたし、スタッフ対応も良かった

    Shiga Higashiomi Omihachiman-shi Hikone-shi
    "An ancient side road located in Shiga Prefecture. The road branches off from the Nakasendo Highway in Yukihata, Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture; goes north of the east bank of Lake Biwa; and rejoins the Nakasendo in Toriimoto-cho, Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture. Literally meaning ""Korean People Road,"" its name is derived from the fact that it was used by envoys dispatched from Korea to deliver congratulatory addresses when new Tokugawa shoguns took office in the Edo period. The road was also used by Tokugawa Ieyasu to travel to Kyoto after he was victorious in the Battle of Sekigahara, and later became the route by which shoguns would journey to the capital. Many Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines are situated along the road, and there are also ancient signposts marking the road's divergence from the Nakasendo Highway which still stand today."

    滋賀県安土の繖山（観音寺城跡）の麓にある聖徳太子が開いたと伝わる寺院です。こちらへは2度目の訪問になります。 紅葉の名所として知る人ぞ知る、という寺院なので、紅葉の時期は小さな境内全体が真っ赤に染まります。境内はこぢんまりとしており回るのに10分も掛かりませんが、ついつい足を止めて紅葉に見入ってしまいます。また、境内全体が苔で覆われており、緑の苔と真っ赤な紅葉のコントラストが目を楽しませてくれます...
