    Shiga Pref. Takashimashi Ukawa 215
    A Shinto shrine situated along the Nishi-Oumi Highway in Ukawa, Takashima City. Dedicated to Sarutahiko-no-mikoto, the shrine is said to grant worshippers long life. Because of the shrine’s large torii gate standing in the waters of Lake Biwa, the shrine is also known as the “Itsukushima of Omi.”

    It is an easy flat walk from Omi-Takashima Station to the shrine with lots to see along the way - Omizo Castle ruins, Otomegaike Pond, rice fields and the 48 buddhas. We took lunch and picnicked at...

    Shiga Pref. Takashimashi Imaduchounakanuma 1-5-7
    A museum located in 1 Chome Nakanuma Imazu-cho, Takashima City. The museum contains exhibits on the “Biwako Shuko no Uta” (“The Lake Biwa Circumnavigation Song”), which was created in the Taisho period when students in the Aquatic Department at the Third Higher School (now Kyoto University) came to circumnavigate Lake Biwa and stayed in Imazu. The museum introduces the creators of the song and also has a corner where visitors can listen to various singers performing the song.

    令和２年から今津東コミュニティセンター内に移りました。小口太郎が京都大学ボート部時代に歌を発表、吉田千秋が曲を作りました。この曲は多くの歌手により歌われましたが、加藤登紀子氏による歌は大ヒットとなりました。無料で入れます。

    Shiga Takashima-shi Makinocho Kaizu 128
    "This Shingon Chisan Buddhist temple is located a five-minute drive from JR Makino Station. The ninth temple on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, it is widely known as the ""Osaki Kannon."" In addition to being able to see Lake Biwa from the observatory in front of the main temple building, some of the temple's many highlights include the Amidado hall, which was built with wood which is still stained with blood from the battle which led to the fall of Azuchi Castle; a statue said to have been created by Prince Shotoku; and two ancient pines called the Senkanmatsu and the Bentenmatsu. In the spring, cherry trees growing on the grounds come into beautiful bloom. As the temple is located a 30-minute walk from the nearest bus station, visitors are encouraged to rent a bicycle at the train station."

    一般而已。位於海津大崎，可能不是櫻花季節的關係，很冷清，完全沒有遊人，也像不開放一樣，雖然仍可以自由參觀。

    Shiga Takashima-shi Kutsuki Miya-mae Bo 289
    A 15-minute walk from the Kutsukiyakuba-mae bus stop. This pagoda is located close to the Miyamaebo (Ue) bus stop and is believed to have been the inner sanctuary of Ninigi Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Ninigi-no-Mikoto; or to have belonged to the Kutsuki Jinguji shrine and temple complex adjoining Ninigi Shrine to the east. It is believed the pagoda was originally built in 859 and rebuilt in 1842. The wooden pagoda consists of two tiers and has an appearance which invokes a sense of stability. The pagoda enshrines 23 wooden statues of Bhaisajyaguru and a statue of Gautama Buddha created in the distant Kamakura period. During the shrine's regular festival, held on May 10th every year, the god to which the shrine is dedicated is ritually transferred to a portable shrine and paraded around in a well-known event.

    この漢字でににぎと読むらしい。多宝塔は邇々杵神社の「奥の院」とも云われていて、地元の信仰はかなり厚いものがあると聞いています。多宝塔内には木造釈迦如来像とか、２３体もの薬師如来像が安置されています。創建は朽木神宮寺ど同時期で８５９年と云われているので１１５０年を超える縁起を誇る神社です。衰退したが、１８４２年には再建されて朽木地区としても貴重な文化遺産に位置付けられています。自家用車でしたが、駐車...

    Shiga Pref. Takashimashi Adogawachoukamiogawa 211
    The ruins of Toju Shoin, a former lecture hall, are located a 15-minute walk from Adogawa Station. It was the site of the home and study of Nakae Toju, one of Japan's earliest followers of the Yangming School of Neo-Confucianism. It has now been rebuilt and is a National Historic Site. In the living quarters, visitors can see displays of Toju's calligraphy, personal effects, and writings, giving them an idea of the course of mastery of ancient learning. Visitors become so absorbed in reading Nakae Toju's writings, that they scarcely notice the passage of time.

    滋賀県高島市安曇川町の国道１６１号線沿い道の駅藤樹の里から南東に少し入った所にある私塾跡。安曇川は近江聖人中江藤樹の生地でありここで書院を開き陽明学を学んだ場所です。知行合一の教えの陽明学は中国王陽明によって興された学問です。隣接して良知館がありガイドや参考資料が販売されています。藤樹の教えを守っているのか周辺は大変綺麗に管理されています。

    Shiga Takashima-shi Adogawacho Kamiogawa 69
    A 10-minute walk from JR Adogawa Station. This memorial museum is located next to the Tojukinenkan-mae bus stop. Nakano Toju was an early Edo period Confucianist born in Omi who is also celebrated as the forefather of Japanese neo-Confucianism, and the museum displays his personal affects and other items. Because of its large collection, the museum has become a gathering spot for researchers, and visitors can also view documents which reveal the history of the Adogawa area. In addition, the museum holds small scale special exhibitions. Further, the museum offers special lectures for large groups and sells books.

    日本の陽明学の始祖と言われる近江聖人中江藤樹の遺品や資料が収蔵・展示されている記念館。藤樹を祀る藤樹神社の一の鳥居横駐車場前にあります。母を思う中江藤樹は立派な人です。残念ながら年末29日で休館となっていました。

    Shiga Takashima-shi Kutsukiichiba 838
    A five-minute walk from the Kutsukishisho-mae bus stop, and a 70-minute drive from the Kyoto-higashi Interchange. This National Tangible Cultural Property-designated structure is located just southwest of the Takashima City Kutsuki Branch Office. Today, the building is operated by a local women's group. The building houses a cafe which serves as a community gathering space for local residents and is also open as a free rest area for visiting tourists. With an advance reservation, large tour groups can also enjoy local cuisine prepared by the group from October to May. Finally, visitors can also purchase confections, crafts, and souvenirs here.

    昭和８年に建築されたものらしい。木造洋館で我が国の登録文化財にも指定されていました。訪れた目的は喫茶であって、わざわざ古くもなく、新しくもないと云う昭和初期の建物を見学に来た訳ではありません。寺社は別にして、やはり木造は一定期間(１００年前後)が過ぎると古さだけが顕著になって・・・石製やレンガ製のような重厚さは出て来ないですねぇ。ここへも喫茶の表示につられて一服のために立ち寄っただけです。普通の喫...

    Shiga Takashima-shi Ukawa
    A five-minute drive from JR Omi-Takashima Station, and a 15-minute walk from the Ukawa bus stop. This historic site, surrounded by dense grass and forest, is situated on the other side of National Route 161 opposite side of Shirohige Beach on the west bank of Lake Biwa. The 1.6-meter-tall statues depict Amitabha in a sitting position, and all of the statues face east. Today, only 33 of the original 48 remain. It was once believed that the statues were put in place by area samurai lord Rokkaku Yoshikata in 1553, but as of the present time documents have been found describing the statues which date to at least 1436. Visitors can take in the slightly differing aspects of each statue.

    Shiga Takashima-shi Kamo 2239
    A two-minute walk from the Shukugamo bus stop, and 10 minutes from JR Adogawa Station. This museum is located 150 meters south of the Kamo Inariyama Tomb.

In addition, the museum's collection includes a large number of items connected to the history of the area such as everyday folk articles and old texts dating to the time from when Takashima converted from being a town to a city and beyond. One of the highlights of the museum's exhibits is a mokkan wooden writing tablet believed to have been written on in 873.

    Shiga Takashima-shi Imazucho Sanami 727
    "A five-minute walk from the Sanamiguchi bus stop, and 15 minutes from the Ii bus stop. This Shingon Chisan Buddhist temple is situated at the foot of a mountain encircled by Shinto shrines west of a residential area in the Sanami district. ""Sanami,"" the name of both the area and the temple, literally means ""sake wave"" and is derived from a local legend about a huge serpent which troubled the area until it was given large quantities of sake and destroyed. Visitors can take in the temple's historic structures, including a Kannondo hall so beautiful it was known even to the people living in Kyoto, the main temple, belfry, and Gomado hall. One of the temple's biggest highlights is a huge cherry tree, known as the Gyoki-zakura; estimated to be some 300 years old, the tree still comes into beautiful bloom in spring. The temple is also one of the temples which make up the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage."

    海津大崎の玄関口あたり、琵琶湖のほとりにあるお寺です。ほとりといっても湖側からは道一本挟むところにあるのですが。お寺は大きくはありませんが、ひととおりはそろっているというかんじで、住宅タイプなお寺のなかでは大きな部類だと思います。

    一面、雪に覆われて真っ白の道路を慎重に運転して行って来ました。石鳥居を潜って、そこそこの距離を行くと石段下に到着、ここから石段を上がると本殿です。神社規模は然程大きくはなく境内も手狭でした。ここは流鏑馬神事とか笠鉾が参道を巡行して一大絵巻を展開する「田中祭り」が毎年５月４日には催行される神社です。又、鎌倉時代の石造品が６体もあったりと、かつての繁栄ぶりが窺える神社でした。創建は正確ではないが、一応...

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.
