- Mackerel Highway
- Travel / Tourism
- Shiga Otsu-shi Takashima-shi
- The popular name for the Wakasa Highway which extends from Obama City in Fukui Prefecture to Kyoto City's Ohara; in Shiga Prefecture, the road straddles Otsu City and Takashima City and passes through what is now the Kutsukiichiba district. The road's nickname is derived from the fact that it was used to transport mackerel caught in the Sea of Japan. It was said in the Edo period that salting mackerel at Wakasa Bay and traveling nonstop day and night to Kyoto would result in a perfectly flavored fish. Many shops and restaurants in the area offer mackerel sushi. A part of the road passes through Kutsuki-Katsuragawa Prefectural Natural Park.

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.
