    農産物などの大きいスーパーと、雑貨やフラワーアレンジメント関連のお店、ケーキ店などがあり、野菜や花はとても新鮮で安かったてす。 雑貨もあまり見ない様な、お洒落な物も多かったです。 駐車場は広く、すぐ前の広場ではコスモス畑があり満開で奇麗でした。

    石榑峠にトンネルが開通してから八風街道の利用頻度が上がりました。こちらはトンネルと永源寺門前の中間あたりに位置する廃校を利用した施設で、道の駅のみならず役所の支所や診療所なども併設されています。域内を回る自動運転バス実証実験の拠点でもあります。 物販は質量ともにこれといった売りに乏しいですが、付近の紅葉を愛でながらの休憩は悪くありません。

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.
