    We took a rest at this road station. Shiso (red perilla) juice gave me nice refreshment! You can see and buy local foods and natural products here. I bought plant prop made of bamboo.

    食堂とか運動施設とか工芸館・展示場と公園が一体となった道の駅で、ありふれた道の駅よりは良い、場所も田舎であり駐車場も含めて広大!セット遍路旅行の昼食場所としての利用。昼食内容はどちらか云うと中の下、最近の日帰り旅行で行った傘松公園の昼食場所に比べると遥かに良かったが・・・(あれは、酷かった、下の最下位)、比較論の問題で同じ費用が要るなら(竹生島に行く為の昼食場所としてなら)個人的に行ったならここで...

    超かっこいい、オオワシに出会える貴重な場所です。もちろん、オオワシ以外にもコハクチョウ、国の天然記念物オオヒシクイ、ミサゴなどなども見れます。 北海道(羅臼)まで行かなくても見れる、貴重な場所だと思います。それほど寒くもなく、ありがたい観察スポットです。

    Shiga Nagahama-shi Uchibocho 2843

    北国脇往還の道路沿いにあります。ドライブ中の休憩地点としてちょうどいいです。店内の情報コーナーには長浜や米原の施設を紹介する地図などの冊子があり、うれしいです。また、この地でのお土産も購入できます。私はここでサラダパン(たくわん入りのめずらしいパン)を購入しました。食べはじめはふつうのパンとは少し違うなあと思いましたが、食べているとくせになりそうな味でした。 有り難いです。

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.
