Shiga Hikone-shi Konkicho 1-1

A teahouse located on the grounds of Hikone Castle. The elegant, mountain pass-style teahouse boasts a sweeping view overlooking the castle tower and town below. Customers can enjoy matcha green tea and Japanese confections in the teahouse' tatami mat seating area. The teahouse's sweets are provided by Osuga, a Japanese confectionary shop situated in Hikone City's Chuo Shopping Street which creates regionally-inspired confections such as Konki jelly. Customers can hear the nearby Jihogane time-keeping bell, whose sound was selected from inclusion in the 100 Soundscapes of Japan list compiled by the Ministry of the Environment, at 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m. In addition, there are tourist information books about the Hikone area in the teahouse, making it a great place to gather information as well.

Shiga Hikone-shi Konkicho 3-41

"A 15-minute walk from JR Hikone Station. This elegant building stands on an artificial hill in the Genkyuen Garden adjoining Hikone Castle. A reception hall once used by the lords of the domain to entertain guests, today it is used as a teahouse. From the sukiya-zukuri-style structure's tatami mat room, customers can take in a view of the scrupulously maintained garden and enjoy matcha tea made with the spring water of Juo Village, counted as one of the three famous ""Kotosanzan (trio of large Tendai Buddhist temples famous in eastern Shiga Prefecture)"" spring waters; along with confectionary shop Itoju Kaho's renowned Umoregi dumplings. The teahouse is a great place to take a break while exploring Hikone Castle and the surrounding area."

Very relaxing to have Matcha. I felt troublesome to take off my shoes so I had at the engawa terrace. The lady told me the best spot to enjoy the view of Hikone Castle. Very memorable moments.

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.
