On the banks of Lake Biwa, a dimension drenched in poetic grace. An ideal base camp resort for local sightseeing and recreation, basking in the mood of a true lake-lands traveler all seasons of the year.
The shores of Lake Biwa are alive with exquisite nature, history and culture. A keen attraction here is Black Wall Square, a quarter with a nostalgic feel that bridges the eras. Each season here packs its own special charm, with the spring bringing the Hikiyama Float Festival, summer the Lake Biwa Fireworks Display, fall the Shusse Prosperity Festival, and the winter the "bonsai" dwarf plum tree fair. For your daily agenda, board an excursion boat from Nagahama Harbor to savor the charming scenery of Chikubu Island, one of the eight renowned landscapes around Lake Biwa. Explore Nagahama Castle for a nostalgic touch of days gone by, or sample the other vacation spots and opportunities that flourish in this laid-back resort retreat.
