Top 47 things to do and attractions in Takashima

Beautiful place to visit during cherry blossom season in early April. It’s in the north and cooler here so blossoms will bloom a little later than in Kyoto or southern Shiga. In summer there are still nice views and a good places for picnics and a little swimming. If you are driving you can continue on to the Oku Biwako Parkway which has spectacular views of Lake Biwa!

Really beautiful. I am doing one full lap around Lake Biwa by bike and just stopped here. It’s April 30th and the scenery looks more like summer. Everything is very green. Definitely worth it.

Perfect place for sakura watching. If come by car, we have to go to the car park first and go to the Biwako by bus with 300¥ per people. If go by train, you have to take a bus, but it really far to go there by walking. You can see sakura by waking along the street, sakura was everywhere. It is wonderful time!! They have a small boat to look sakura from Biwako. Price: 1000¥/person for 15 minutes, safety and peaceful. It is perfect for watching sakura and watching Biwako, the heart of Shiga. Flower and lake, so romantic and peaceful. They have some small food under the sakura for traveller, bbq pork and noodle. There don't have a lot of tourist, just Japanese local people and some Chinese people. It is a quiet place for me and the people who don't like noisy and crowned tourist spots. The air is very clear, quiet, cold. Sakura full of blossom. I am lucky because sakura wait for me, and this far away from my place, about 1 hour and 45 minutes for driving. Center of Shiga was end of sakura season. I came here at 8April2018.

Spectacular cherry blossoms along the roadway and lake. Full bloom had passed. The hanafubuki was stunning.

beautiful little beach. there id a parking and bbq fee but bike parking and use of the beach are free. shallow water with big rocks to climb and shady trees to sit under.

Good place. We took ship from Hikone and have abt 40 mins to walk around here. Sufficient to explore. Otherwise traffic is not so convenient unless you drive by yourself.

The amazing view here is the best reward of my whole Biwachi trip here. The scenery is too great to stop me from riding.

Visited this place during public holiday in September, 2025. One of the historical building/temple was undergoing restoration. Overall, had good experience visiting and witnessing Japans historical place.

Visited in July recently. Reached here from Kyoto station with a train ride, then a bus, a cable car, a ropeway and finally a hike. It may sound overwhelming but journey itself is worth it and the destination is as good as Koyozumi-dera. The accessibility is definitely why there are not many tourists here This temple grounds is quite big. Unfortunately during our visit the main hall was under renovation. May just visit again if ever in Kyoto again.

From religious point of view: very important place and definitely worth it of you are interested in Japanese branch pf Buddhism and Japanese history and culture in general. General tourist point of view: there is really nothing special about it that would justify the entrance fee of 1000¥ + the cable or ropeway if you decide to take it for 1800¥ roundway. Any smaller temple in nature is just as beautiful. It really depends on what kind of tourist you are.

We walked about 10 minutes from the cable car station to the temple. It was a clear and crisp day which made the short stroll really enjoyable. There is a loop bus that goes to the Heizan-Sakamoto JR station.

Enryakuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Mount Hieizan, is a treasure trove of history, spirituality, and stunning natural beauty. As the birthplace of Japanese Tendai Buddhism, it holds immense cultural and religious significance. The temple complex is vast, with beautifully preserved buildings spread across serene forested grounds. Each area offers a unique glimpse into its rich history. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for reflection, and the views of Lake Biwa from the mountain are breathtaking. Whether you’re interested in history, Buddhism, or simply seeking tranquility, Enryakuji Temple is a must-visit destination near Kyoto!

This temple is located on a truly sacred mountain. There aren’t many souvenir shops, food stalls, or entertainment spots nearby, but that’s exactly what keeps its spiritual atmosphere pure. It may not suit those looking for fun or sightseeing, but the peacefulness and lack of crowds make it even more special. For Buddhists, it’s without a doubt one of Japan’s true sacred places.

Peaceful place, just need to be careful with the bus schedule if you are coming by public transport

This temple is a gem. It is truly remarkable, beautiful, and inspiring. It is also near many other temples, so it is possible to go to various temples in the area. This one is excellent. The gardens are beautiful, to the point of being almost impossible to stop taking pictures. I feel like that is a reaction to wanting to soak it all in and keep it forever, and many fellow travelers were doing the same. It was raining some when I went and that honestly added to the atmosphere. The temple was very popular and there were many people out and about, but this did not impact my visit much. I would highly recommend a visit to this temple if you are in Kyoto.

Beautiful temple that is a little bit hidden from the city, kind of on the side, which means that it is not wall to wall with modern buildings. There is some kind of peace in the temple, it is quiet, you don't here cars or noise from the city. Beautiful garden with those amazing specially made gardens with sand and rocks which are racked in a specific way. There are fish in ponds which makes children love this temple. Like in almost all museum, temples or tourist attractions, there are toilets available which are clean, they are situated close to the exit and gift shop.

As a tourist visiting Kyoto, Ginkaku-ji felt like a must see. The temple is a sight to behold and the gardens give a zen, warming feeling. The staff working tirelessly to maintain the garden and their effort is well appreciated. Washrooms are by the gift shop and the gift shop itself is pretty cute to visit for unique souvenirs. Weather is perfect is November for visiting if sunny out.

Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto is a serene gem. I truly loved the stone garden, so unique and calming. I would have loved to spend an entire day there just meditating. There’s also a spot nearby where you can try a traditional vegetarian tofu dish (2000¥), and it was delicious. Once again, go early in the morning, later in the day the entire place is packed with tourists!

This place is less known compared to Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion. The building is very similar in shape but less elegant in wooden and white. Visitors can walk around to enjoy the garden. Since it is not very far from the city, one may walk from Kiyomizu-dera via Yasaka Shrine and Heian Shrine.

Ginkaku-ji was honestly a bit underwhelming for me. There’s a small garden and a small temple, and that’s pretty much it. It might be more meaningful if you’re really into Japanese history or architecture, but as a general visitor, I didn’t find anything particularly special. Nice to see once, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

A place of stunning beauty the like of which I have never seen before. This is Japan as I have imagined it before travelling here. The temple is especially beautiful in autumn with the colouring of the leaves. I am truly grateful for having experienced this sacred place.

I visited this temple on another rain soaked morning. It has been drizzling since breakfast and in spite of that, many tourists like us was undeterred and pressed on! We bought tickets at the front counter and explored the grounds. The buildings and surroundings were well kept and neat. There were clear signs to guide us along the path. Some paths may be slippery because of the rain so caution is advised. The compound is beautiful and you can almost feel the history when you step into the old temple and feel the original woodwork. There is a tea house inside as well as quaint cafes outside so if you feel peckish, there are nice, quite places to stop and replenish and rest.

Beautiful light illumination experience! The main illumination show was excellent — vibrant lights, great sound, and an engaging story that I wanted to watch again, though it was a bit short (around 5 minutes). The temple grounds themselves are calm and pleasant to walk around at night. The lighting on the trees is nice, though not particularly special. There’s also a small bamboo garden which adds to the atmosphere. Be careful while walking: many paths have stone steps that can be slippery. There’s no stamp available on your own booklet. Instead, they sell a pre-stamped temple paper for 500 yen. Evening illumination entrance ticket is 600 yen per person.

Going to this temple at night whenever they have their special ligh show and illumination is a wondrous experience. It is just so gorgeous. The light show is nice and fun, but the best part are the trees reflecting on the lake, all illuminated, and simply gorgeous. The fact it was fall and they had all these different pretty colors made it all even better. I have been to this temple both during the day and at night, and I found the night experience even more memorable. I would very much recommend going whenever they have their temple illuminated.

Kōdai-ji is such a peaceful and beautiful temple to visit in Kyoto. The gardens are stunning — especially with the reflection ponds and bamboo grove that give off a calm, relaxing vibe. The temple buildings are elegant, and the pathways are well kept. If you visit in the evening, the light-up display makes it even more magical. It’s not as crowded as some other Kyoto spots, so it feels more relaxing and personal. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy nature, history, and quiet moments.

Beautiful temple in the Higashiyama area. The garden is absolutely beautiful, especially during Koyo (autumn) when the leaves are changing colors. The bamboo forest is incredible too, and if you don’t want to go all the way to Arashiyama (or don’t have time), this place is a great option to visit. Also wasn’t too busy, even for late October.

This was GORGEOUS!!!! It was amazing to see everything lit up at night and the fall colors, wow!!! They had a light show of the history with music that just lit up the the temple grounds. It was phenomenal!! This is a must see!!! The pictures don't do it justice! You just can't capture the magic and the beauty here!

A truly charming temple with beautifully landscaped gardens, quiet walking paths, and a lovely bamboo grove. Kodaiji has a peaceful vibe that makes it stand out from the busier temples in Kyoto. The buildings, tea houses, and ponds are all well maintained and full of character. A great place to unwind and appreciate Kyoto’s traditional beauty.

Amazing place to visit! Went during the end of winter, 7 Mar 2025. Judging from other's reviews, you will have to visit this place in different seasons for another experience, so chose your season wisely if you have limited time to travel haha! Those who drive, there are no parkings along the stretch of roads, the closest will be the small town up north or down south.

The Metasequoia Tree-lined Road in Makino, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, is a breathtaking sight. This picturesque road boasts approximately 500 towering metasequoia trees lining both sides for about 2.4 kilometers. Here's what makes it special: Seasonal Beauty: The trees offer stunning visuals throughout the year: Spring: Fresh, vibrant green leaves emerge. Summer: Lush green foliage creates a cool, refreshing canopy. Autumn: The leaves transform into a vibrant display of golden and reddish-brown hues. Winter: The bare trees create a dramatic, snow-covered landscape. Photogenic: The road is incredibly photogenic, making it a popular spot for photographers and social media enthusiasts. Peaceful Atmosphere: The towering trees and the straight road create a sense of tranquility and awe. Easy Access: The road is easily accessible by car, making it a popular driving route.

We visit at least once each season and love this place! Still trying to catch it in the snow and hoping for a chance this winter. The walkway along the row of trees is lovely. Go early and on a weekday to avoid crowds.

Breathtaking row of trees along this quiet road that changes greatly with the seasons. A verdant green in summer, but I'd come back just to see it in autumn as well. There's a reasonably large parking lot which the signage will direct you to. There are also various shops and restaurants along the road and in the vicinity. Despite being a road, it's not super busy so it's possible to take photos with no other people or vehicles with a bit of patience. Most people also tend to gather around the carpark entrance, but you can walk further down for a more quiet experience.

went last February 8,2025 around 5pm a snowy day as you can see... less people and cars, we don't have to wait for the road to be empty 😉

A must visit spot if you travelling to Shiga Prefecture. Nice scenery taken in early April 2025.

MetaSequoia Trees Avenue This street is a pretty stretch and very instagrammable place. We however made a mistake by keeping it for the weekend.  It was swarmed with visitors both local and foreigners.  This make taking photos very challenging. Visitors walked along the street blemishing the views and heaps of cars/bikes zooming through the street.  It was near to impossible to take a picture without some random person in it. But what was interesting is the surrounding areas.  First, within the car park compound area, there is a small hall that houses a market that sells local produce, fruits and veg.  There is also some food within this hall for you to dine in.  And just outside of this hall, there are other push carts or pop-up stores that sells pizzas, drinks, and other finger foods. It have it a carnival feel, but this could be only for the weekend. Then, just outside of this area, there are small eateries and shops spotted all over the surrounding areas if you care to walk or drive around.  Nice place to visit.  But maybe weekdays. I believe that on a quiet n peaceful weekend over the height of the autumn season, this place would be worth every minute to visit.

Gorgeous temple with a call Zen garden, forest walkways, and mountainside views. Fantastic historical pieces and art on display inside. As a tourist, I did not perceive this as a place advertised as a Kyoto must-see. After attending, I think it is. It's not too far from nearby hiking and running trails. Entry fee was 800 yen. It is a very peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of Kyoto

This was a beautiful little temple! We had a very nice visit! We nearly had the whole place to ourselves. The garden was so lovely, I could have sat there and listened to the cicadas sing for hours! It was well worth a visit!

This wonderful temple was suggested to us by an AI inquiry. We visited about 10am after a visit to the Golden Temple which was crowded with school groups. By contrast we almost had this place to ourselves and it was so beautiful, tranquil, and spiritual. The gardens especially are stunning.

Amazing place! Really peaceful, quiet. Beautiful garden and view, bamboo forest. Highly recommended to go here instead of overcrowded places in Kyoto city center

I was impressed about the stone garden and backyard green garden. Please go through the gate over the stone garden. I could sit down on the floor like zazen about 30 minutes or more. Trees and green are beautiful. And also we can see Kyoto city because here is in the mountain. It takes about 15 minutes from Shirakawa street on foot. ☆

Great place for serene quietness. It does not have the rush of crowds of tourists, just calm surroundings where one can contemplate life.

My favorite, it's so peaceful and (for now at least) is a great escape from the crowds. Beautiful for both sakura and momiji seasons.

Went there as Hinatazaka46 made a trip there for their hit campaign. Grounds were large and a bit confusing. Made up my mind to climb to see the big rock (金大嚴)up on the hill and oh boy was it tough. I rushed through it in around 20 minutes as it was turning dark. Respect to the members who climbed it after dragonboating.

Really peaceful and serene shrine. Shiga is definitely an excellent spot to escape from the crowds in Kyoto. This place is good for all seasons and the autumn colours just made it that much better for viewing pleasure! There was also a free night illumination that makes this such a must see spot !

Hiyoshi Taisha, located in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, is a Shinto shrine with a rich history dating back over 2,000 years. Founded during the reign of Emperor Sujin, it has served as a sacred site dedicated to the deity Hiyoshi Okami, associated with water and agriculture. The shrine gained prominence during the Heian period and became closely linked to the powerful Minamoto and Taira clans. Hiyoshi Taisha is unique for its syncretic worship of Shinto and Buddhism, exemplified by its connection to the nearby Enryaku-ji, a prominent Buddhist temple on Mount Hiei. The annual Sanno Matsuri festival, held in June, is a highlight, attracting visitors with vibrant processions and traditional performances. Throughout centuries, the shrine has undergone reconstruction due to natural disasters and conflicts. Today, it stands as a cultural and historical treasure, reflecting Japan's enduring spiritual traditions and the integration of Shinto and Buddhist influences.

Hiyoshi Taisha is an old Japanese shrine, and it has a forest-style yard and garden which has numerous old, tall trees for more than several hundred years. In addition, the visitors can see the clean flow of water circulating or flowing through various temples in the Shrine area. But the Shrine may be in crisis probably due to insufficient fund for the maintenance and repair. For example, most of the tree-bark roofs of the Shrine's worshiping temples are in damaging conditions. Also, a few lion-shaped Guards in front of the worshipping shrines or temples are also in damaged condition. Visitors who are interested in the Shrine can take the same Keihan commuter train to visit Ishiyama-dera Temple of the Otsu area. Alos, there are various other smaller temples outside Hiyoshi Taisha, between subway station and Shrine's main gate.

One place in Shiga prefecture you should DEFINITELY make a stop at. Beautiful hiking area and one of the cheaper entrance fees. SO MUCH to discover in the surrounding area!

Various pictures of the many autumn spots of Hiyoshi Taisha (日吉大社) in Ōtsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Hiyoshi Taisha shrine, its grounds are very large and the shrine is situated on the foot of mount Hie.

One of the older and more historically significant Shinto shrines in the area. It's a convenient stop if you are headed to Enryaku-ji, and won't take all day to explore.

A fun little boat trip, Its all in Japanese as most tourist attractions are, but we had fun. The music at the end is a highlight, make sure to grab an instrument!

This cruise does a small or larger circuit on the lake depending on your selection of time. 30, 60 or 90 minutes. You get a good view of buildings and other structures near the lake. It is very close to the train station.

Cool ship with a nice view around Biwa lake. Snacks and drinks are served onboard for a price. The entertainers are nice and have a singing 20min performance at the end. Be advised, everything is japanese only. That being said, you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand. The sky deck is too bright on the night cruise.

This is a 1 hour worth it trip if you want to see some hilights of OTSU. It's a 1 hour cruise that will show you views of lake Biwa. There are 4 restaurants to choose from and a buffet options you can try. Staff and hosts are really friendly and make sure you have a great time. The ride starts with 3000 yen onwards if you want to add food option there are other choices too. Wonderful experience in Otsu. It's a 20min walk from the station.

I did the one hour cruise at 15:00. It was a nice little cruise to enjoy the fresh air and the view of the nearby hills. The ship is very beautiful and in a good condition. You can buy drinks and snacks on board. There are also restrooms.

While the cruise itself was enjoyable around Lake Biwa, the buffet addition was not worth it. For the price, it was really disappointing. The food was not very fresh and they did not refill any of the trays so I didnt even get to try several of the meat options. We also went on Halloween, so 90% of the choices were all pumpkin dishes, if we had known that before hand we would have declined the buffet.

Michigan boat go around 60 mins and they have events 🛥️🚤⛵.

Never have I ever felt more magic in such a setting. Absolutely jaw dropping beautiful. Worth the visit. $35 CAD ain't expensive for all the reviews complaining about price. One of the most unique temple and shrine sites in all of Japan. On a little island that screams ethereal.

Beautiful temple built with the wood from the ship of warlord toyotomi hideyoshi dedicated to the thousand hand and thousand eyes bodhisattva

A beautiful small island in Biwako,not so common in Japan. But the ship fee and island’s ticket was a little bit expensive.

It was an interesting experience. We had to take a ferry to the island. They have limited time for the ferry so be sure to be there on time.

Temple on a small hill in the middle of Lake Biwa. Costs 500 yen to enter and is meant to be reasonably important in the area. Climb via the shrine for an easier climb.

An excellent view. But no souvenir shops nor kiosks opened even though it was Saturday noon! You had better bring food and beverage with you.

Super awesome island situated in the north of Lake Biwa.

Think parked car in the northernmost lot. Was a good workout.

Over 500 tall dawn redwood trees with yellowish leaves are splendidly planted on both sides of a 2,400 meter straight farm road!

It's peaceful place. I came in early morning to take photos because there weren't so many cars in the road. 1 nice coffee shop opens from 7am.

A peaceful place makes you calm. It makes me think of my hometown🤣 I wanna come again in Autumn and Winter to see the beauty of differences.

Arrived Makino Station at 1:00 pm, and the bus was on special route which took more time to arrive. But the scene is beautiful and nice.

Great local place for fruit picking, mini “golf” and an ice cream

though the weather wasnt good but still worth the time to visit !

500 JPY for a ticket. 30 minutes of walking inside a garden that does not offer much. Might be an excellent place for a photoshoot session, but do pay attention to the weather, if it is cloudy, the whole place looks like a depressing sight. But if it is sunny then wow…

The momiji are gorgeous and there are winter blooming Sakura as of November 17. There were 2 bloomed hydrangeas on November 17 as well, which was a surprise to me. On March 9, there were kawazu (early blooming sakura). On April 1, there were full-bloomed さくら🌸.

A beautiful garden and scenic pond with a small temple on-site. It was very quiet when we visited. Get here from the Ono stop, one stop before Daigo-ji. We found our way here by accident, but we were so glad we came. A wonderful woman showed us the way to this place and then helped us get back to the train and on to Daigo-ji. Stop by for a visit, you won't regret it!

Really underrated temple for autumn colours. Well worth the trip to escape the crazy tourists crowd in key sights at Kyoto! Has a nice pond and a lovely small pagoda inside of it. It is also close to a subway station so it is easy to get to! Come and enjoy autumn without the whole world next to you!

not crowded, great small place to relax and walk around the pond

Spring is the best time to visit this slightly out of the way temple.The garden is unusual as it is a stroll-thru, as opposed to most other temple gardens which are made for viewing only. There is a pond too and a whole load of cherry trees which you are able to enjoy without the inevitable crowds biting at your heels. All in all a good experience but I'm not sure if it's worth a visit outside the Spring and Autumn seasons.

Himuro Ike pond was an interesting nature preserve with herons and koi fish. Nice garden.

Calm and Panaromic breeze

Very nice

(Translated by Google) I went there around March the year before last. It was still around 5am, so the place was reserved. Since it's called a beach, it has an image of summer. However, depending on the time of day and the season, I felt that this coast looked different. Also, since it's a lake, the scenery is spectacular and different from the usual ocean, and I felt like I wanted to stay here forever. (Original) 一昨年、３月頃に行きました。 まだ早朝５時位だったので貸切状態。 ビーチという位ですから夏のイメージがあります。 しかし時間帯、季節によってこの海岸は見え方が異なる印象を感じました。 また湖なので通常の海とは違って景色も壮麗で、いつまでもここにいたい気持ちになりました。

(Translated by Google) You can also walk your dog on the small beach. If the weather is nice, you can take good photos. However, be careful of an elderly couple in town who are feeding a black cat; they are a bit dangerous and will go mad if you approach them. (Original) こじんまりしたビーチで犬の散歩もできます。天気がいいといい写真が撮れます。が、黒猫に餌付けしている町の老夫婦にはご注意を、近づくとキレる少しやばい人。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by while taking photos! It's a really nice place. It's open and the views are amazing! There are several benches so you can take a break and enjoy the view! (Original) 撮影ついでに寄りました！ 凄く良い場所ですね。 開放的で景色も素晴らしい！ ベンチがいくつもあるので休憩しながら景色を楽しめます！

(Translated by Google) A campsite where you can spend a wonderful time while looking out at the beautiful Lake Biwa. (Original) 綺麗な琵琶湖を見ながら素敵な時間が過ごせるキャンプ場。

(Translated by Google) It was a great place for camping and SUP. I want to come back again. (Original) キャンプもSUPもできるいい場所でした また来たい

We arrived at 9:10am on a Tuesday in May. All boom gates to the car park were down and unattended. We parked nearby and walked through the car park into the playground. There was no one else here, so had the place to ourselves. Our 14 & 15 year olds had the best time, even saying "this is the best playground we've ever been to!". They were very keen to use the drop slide and the rest of the older kid equipment, but it was all ropped off. Toilets were clean and well stocked. We didn't try the restaurant, because it looked closed and unattended. It was a bit eerie being the only ones here, but we had a great time with lots of old school play equipment. Recommended!

Fantastic place to spend a whole day with your family, specially if you have little kids. Plenty of things to do, outdoor and indoor playgrounds, a small restaurant in case you decide not to bring obento, an area for BBQ, etc, and all for the price of the parking fee (500 yen for the whole day). Highly recommend as a day trip from Kyoto.

Kids and family park with Lake Biwa front. Amazing location and lots of activities for kids of all age groups. You can spend the whole day and still not cover all the activities they have to offer. Designates Bbq area where you can pay and get a spot to do bbq and setup camp, it’s a day camp site so you can’t stay overnight. The also have a central building with various cultural activities indoors like Handcrafts, gym, food court, wall climbing, air castle and more. Outdoors you have rental family rides and kids single bikes. Giant air balloon they call aqua roll where you can run inside a giant air ball. Disc golf and ground golf. Parking is 500 yen on site. Divides in 2 parts For bbq site on left after entering main parking lot. Very crowded during golden week for parking but there is also a private parking 100m on left before entering the parks parking.

A lot of game here for children. Maybe need one day to try all. The BBQ are is also available near the playground (at playground is prohibited) The car park fee is cheap only 500 yen

So many different playgrounds! All free! Also the scariest slide I've ever seen. I was not game to try...

Kids love it here, that’s all I need to say.

Great place for kids. Playground is free of charge. Some of activities you have to pay but it’s around ¥500-300. Parking is ¥500. kids love this place. You can bring your own food and drink. There is cafeteria and it’s Decent quality and pretty cheap. Good palace to visit with family.

Very beginner friendly and nice place to start your ski journey! Many locals as well. They have private lessons and the instructor Kaoru san was so patient and helpful in teaching me the basics of skiing. There were 3/4 slopes in total that you can choose from - all relatively doable and a good practice resort to get better at skiing. Everything is available for rental. Recommend to head down earlier if you want to catch your bus so that you can queue and make it for the bus (many people on the day we went). Overall a wonderful experience!

This resort is huge. There are many fun activities that we can do here. We do not have to do ski or snowboard if we don’t want. And snow rafting is so fun

great experience to have, lots of fun and can be done solo or with others. first day had a more snowy field compared to the second day in which was more icy

It was nice place and is kids friendly, I feel is for beginners and intermediates, the view at top is amazing, the food there is really good and accessible I was surprise with the prices was so cheap, rental equipment is well organized and clean, great job guys

It was my second time skiing in Japan and this experience was not as great as the ones at another ski resort. We had booked a package for this resort via Klook. On the day, there was only 1 lift and 2 slopes (1 was a beginner one for practicing), luckily there were not too many people so it wasn’t too crowded. Change rooms & coin lockers were inconvenient as the area to change was extremely small, and it cost ¥300 to open each time. Keep ¥100 coins if you plan to use the lockers! The ski pants rented were not water resistant as you’d expect. Unfortunately when we went (31 Dec), it wasn’t cold enough for this resort to have snow so we had man made ice. We were told by the guide that there would be snow later in Jan.

I found this place by chance. So i added in the Itinerary and it's a good idea. This place is so wonderful. we enjoyed our snow family bonding! It's so nice to see my daughter having so much fun! It's also easy to get here. Few rides and walk and you'll be here. For those who are going by public, take Tokaido sanyo-line going to Omi-Imazu. Exit the station and there will be a bus on the right exit. Take Bus no. 2 Local bus it will drop you off at the Hakodateyama gondola ride.. Don't ride the JR bus no. 1.

A ski resort near Kyoto with a best for beginners and intermediate. Get through a cheaper rope way and local bus from Omi Imazu station. Feel a stunning view of lake Biwa from here while enjoy a cup of hot coffee.

The beach nearby is frequented by many fly-fishers late into the evenings. There are park benches. As of June 2023, the grass needs mowing.

There's a little beach. The sand is softer there than other places around the lake

After dinner. Kill time 😄

A nice torii gate that is facing towards the lake.

It’s a nice little resting spot with toilets, a place to sit, and a gorgeous view of Lake Biwa—you can even stroll along the lakeside. Historically, this is where Akechi Mitsuhide built his castle after betraying Oda Nobunaga in the Honnō-ji Incident. They even have a monument dedicated to him.

(Translated by Google) Sakamoto Castle Ruins Park was developed on the site of Sakamoto Castle (a nationally designated historic site) on the shores of Lake Biwa, along National Route 161 in Shimosakamoto, Otsu City, about 1.7 km south of JR Hieizan Sakamoto Station. In 1571, shortly after Oda Nobunaga burned down Enryaku-ji Temple with 30,000 soldiers, Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) constructed Sakamoto Castle on the shores of Lake Biwa, ordering his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide (1528-1582) to watch over Enryaku-ji Temple and rule the Shiga County area at the foot of the mountain. Sakamoto Castle's first distinctive feature is its "water castle" style, in which water from Lake Biwa is brought into the castle grounds. Mitsuhide's tea ceremony teacher, Tsuda Sogyu of Sakai, Osaka, was invited to Sakamoto Castle and held a tea ceremony there. He wrote, "After the ceremony, we boarded a royal boat from the castle and headed to Azuchi Castle." Sakamoto Castle was a magnificent fortress with towering main and small main towers. Luis Frois, who was in Japan as a Jesuit missionary at the time, said, "The castle built by Akechi is magnificent and magnificent, second only to Nobunaga's Azuchi Castle." Construction of Sakamoto Castle began four years earlier than Azuchi Castle, making it a pioneering example of modern castles. Mitsuhide used Sakamoto Castle as his base and worked hard to pacify Omi under Nobunaga's orders, but in 1582 (Tensho 10), he led a rebellion and killed Oda Nobunaga and his son in the Honnoji Incident. However, Akechi Mitsuhide was killed in the Battle of Yamazaki, in which Hashiba Hideyoshi avenged his lord, and Sakamoto Castle fell just 10 years after it was built. After Sakamoto Castle fell, the late Nobunaga's senior vassals gathered at Owari Kiyosu Castle to divide Nobunaga's territory, a process known as chigyowari. Niwa Nagahide, who ruled the two counties of Shiga and Takashima in Omi, became the lord of Sakamoto Castle, while Hashiba Hideyoshi retained control of Yamashiro. At this so-called "Kiyosu Conference," many voices called for Hideyoshi to be made lord of Sakamoto Castle, but it is said that Hideyoshi handed it over to Niwa Nagahide, believing that "holding Sakamoto Castle would suggest he had ambitions to rule the country." This may have been because Sakamoto Castle was located at Imamichigoe, a key transportation point to Kyoto. In 1583, after Hideyoshi defeated Shibata Katsuie at Echizen Kitanosho, Nagahide was given Echizen, Wakasa, and the Kaga Peninsula, while Sakamoto Castle was taken over by Hideyoshi's vassal, Sugihara Ietsugu. However, rumors of Ietsugu's madness spread, and the castle was passed to Asano Nagayoshi, who had been given Seta Castle in the previous territorial division. After permission was granted to rebuild Enryaku-ji Temple's main gate in 1584, Sakamoto Castle no longer served as a watchdog for Enryaku-ji Temple. Furthermore, with Hideyoshi's construction of Osaka Castle, Otsu's importance in connecting the Hokuriku region with Osaka via land and water transport on the Tokaido and Yodo River increased, and Sakamoto Castle's historical role was handed over to Otsu Castle. After Sakamoto Castle was abandoned, the ruins were developed into farmland and residential areas. While it was a famous castle, its location and scale remain unknown, and it has become a mythical castle. Within the park, in a place thought to be within the castle grounds, stands the Akechizuka, said to be a memorial mound for Mitsuhide. Furthermore, during times of drought in Lake Biwa, the stone walls beneath the lake become visible, but are normally not visible. (Original) 坂本城址公園は、JR比叡山坂本駅の南1.7kmほどの大津市下阪本の国道161号沿いの琵琶湖畔の坂本城跡（国指定史跡）に整備された公園です。 元亀2年（1571年）織田信長は三万の兵をもって延暦寺焼き打ち直後、織田信長（1534〜1582年）が家臣の明智光秀（1528〜1582年）に延暦寺の監視と山麓の滋賀郡一帯の支配を命じた琵琶湖岸に坂本城を築城しました。 坂本城の特徴は、まず、城内に琵琶湖の水を引き入れた、いわゆる「水城形式」の城郭でした。 光秀の茶の湯の師匠である大阪堺の津田宗及（つだそうぎゅう）が坂本城に招かれ、茶会を催した時に「茶会のあと、城内から御座船に乗って安土城に向かった」と記しています。 坂本城は、高層の大天主と小天主がそびえる豪壮な城郭でした。当時、イエズス会の宣教師として来日していたルイス・フロイスは「明智の築いた城は、豪壮華麗で信長の安土城に次ぐ、城である」と言っていました。坂本城は安土城より4年早く着工されていましたので、近世の城郭の先駆的な存在でもありました。 光秀は、坂本城を拠点として信長の命により近江平定に奔走しましたが、天正10年（1582年）に謀反を起こし「本能寺の変」で織田信長親子を殺害した。 しかし、羽柴秀吉による主君の仇討ちの「山崎の合戦」に敗れた明智光秀は殺害され、坂本城も築城からわずか10年で落城しました。 坂本城の落城後、亡き信長の重臣たちは尾張清洲城に集まり、信長の領地分割、いわゆる知行割りが行われ、近江の滋賀と高島の二郡をもつ丹羽長秀が坂本城の城主となり、羽柴秀吉は山城をもつこととなりました。 そのいわゆる「清洲会議」では、秀吉を坂本城主にという声が多くありましたが、秀吉は「坂本城をもてば、天下を取りたいという野心があると思われる」ので、丹羽長秀に渡したともいわれています。それは、坂本城は「今道越」という京都への交通の要所に立地していたからともいえます。 天正11年（1583年）秀吉が越前北庄で柴田勝家を破ると、長秀は、越前・若狭と加賀半島を与えられ、坂本城は、秀吉の家臣、杉原家次が入りました。しかし、家次狂気の風聞が伝わり、先の知行割りで瀬田城を与えられた浅野長吉に変わりました。 天正12年（1584年）に延暦寺の山門復興の許可がおりてからは、坂本城も延暦寺の監視のための役割もなくなったことと、秀吉が大坂城を築いたため東海道や淀川の陸運水運を通じて北陸と大阪を結びつけるうえで「大津」の重要性が高まり、歴史的な役割を大津城に譲ることとなりました。 そして、坂本城廃城後、城跡は整備され田畑や住宅地となり、有名な城でしたが、その位置や規模などは不明で、幻の城となってしまいました。 公園内の城内と推測される場所に光秀の供養塚と伝わる明智塚が建立されています。 また、琵琶湖の渇水時には湖中の石垣が姿をあらわしますが、普段は見ることができません。

(Translated by Google) I can imagine how beautiful it would be if there was a castle in a place like this. I was able to see the magnificent stone statues. I'm grateful to the people who take care of them every day. I visited on a scorching hot day, but the shade of the trees made it cool and refreshing. I was also happy that there were restrooms available. (Original) こんな所にお城があったならなんと綺麗なことだろうと想像します。立派な石像を拝見できました。日々手入れをしてくださっている方々に感謝です。 猛暑日に訪れましたが木陰があり涼やかでした。 お手洗いがあるのも嬉しいですね。

this shrine is small but beautiful. its easy to get to from karasaki station and is right on the edge of one of japans most beautiful lakes — biwako. you cannot picnic on the grounds or anything like that but you can wander and enjoy the lake views. they do have goshuincho if youre into that, but no calligrapher on site.

A beautiful Shrine with beautiful lake view and a huge pine tree. I had a very relaxing time here watching the lake.

A nice place next to Biwa lake. Quiet and no tourists. ☺️

Literary took a 30-minute nap here. Very relaxing.

quaint and local shrine , great view of lake biwa

It's a very simple shrine, but the view of Lake Biwa is great. There was a giant tree as the center piece of the shrine's park area, but it was blown down by a hurricane. There are a few benches that look out over the lake, so you can relax. If it's really windy, and in the fall or winter, it may be quite cold. There is also a very nice dango shop right in front of the shrine.

Karasaki Shrine : Karasaki Shrine is located in north part of Otsu City along the shore of Lake Biwa. The shrine has a strong connection with neighboring Hiyoshi Shrine located in the west on the foot of mountain. It is believed that the original form of shrine was established in here in 7th century. There is a gigantic pine tree planted in the ground widely spreading out its branches. It is interesting to know the fact that the same tree had been depicted in drawings of ancient times around 16th century. From the side of the shore which is a part of the precincts of the shrine you can see a nice view of the lake. This view from the shore is designated as one of the eight scenic sights of the lake in Omi region. There is an annual event called Mitarashi Festival held in this shrine at the end of July.

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting. It was a rainy Sunday, so there weren't many people there. Therefore, I was able to observe it slowly. The guide was also very kind, teaching us about birds and adjusting the telescope to the birds. Kindergarten and 2nd grade children were watching wild birds and looking at bird books without getting bored and found themselves staying for more than two hours. The time is relaxing and it's a great place for bird lovers. The cafe was not open, but I would like to try it again. (Original) 初めて伺いました。 雨の日曜ので、人もあまりいませんでした。そのためゆっくり観察することが出来ました。ガイドさんも鳥について教えてくださったり、望遠鏡を鳥に合わせてくれたり、大変親切にしてくださいました。 幼稚園児と小2の子供も野鳥観察や、鳥の本を見たりと飽きずに気付けば2時間以上滞在していました。 時間がゆったりしていて、鳥好きには最高の場所です。 カフェが営業していませんでしたが、またカフェも利用してみたいです。

(Translated by Google) My husband had been interested in this observation center for a long time and was happy to be able to do his long-awaited bird watching. I had never done bird watching before, but the curator kindly taught me a lot about birds, and I had a wonderful time. Taxidermy? There are many birds on display, and the bird observation records written by the curator are so worth reading that you can spend hours reading them. There was also a cafe, so I was happy to be able to watch wild birds while drinking chai tea. The staff at the cafe is a bright and nice person. The banana cake was topped with rum raisins and soaked in the flavor of alcohol, so it was very delicious! ! It has become my favorite place. (Original) こちらの観察センターを夫がずっと前から気になっていたようで、念願の野鳥観察が出来て喜んでいました。 私も今まで野鳥観察はしたことなかったですが、館長さんが親切に鳥について色々教えてくださり、とっても素敵な時間を過ごせました。 剥製？の鳥がたくさん展示してあったり、館長さんの書いた野鳥観察記録も読み応えがあり、何時間でもいれます。 カフェもありチャイティーを飲みながら野鳥観察が出来て幸せでした。 カフェの店員さんが明るくて素敵な方です。 バナナケーキはラムレーズンがかかっていてお酒の味が染みててとっても美味しかったです！！ お気に入りの場所になりました。

(Translated by Google) It looks like I'll get hooked on bird watching from here. It's fun to watch distant birds through the fixed telescope, but it's also fun to carry around the binoculars provided at the facility and just wander around watching. There are diaries, pictures drawn by everyone, explanations of the birds you can see, a FAQ, photo books, and lots of books related to birds - it's all about birds. When I got home that day, I ended up buying a pair of binoculars. I'm looking forward to the walks and hikes I'll be going on. (Original) ここから野鳥観察にハマりそう。 固定の望遠鏡で遠くの鳥たちを見るのも楽しいし、施設に置いてある双眼鏡を持ち歩いて、ぶらぶらと見るのも楽しい。 日記が書いてあったり、みんなが描いた絵が見れたり、観られる鳥の解説が載っていたり、質問集があったり、写真集や、鳥にまつわる書籍がたくさんあったり、鳥づくしとはこのこと。 その日帰ってから双眼鏡をポチってしまった。 これからの散歩、登山が楽しみ。

(Translated by Google) I visited you on Sunday. We were the only customers. Although it is a small facility, there is a lot of love for birds, with people tweeting about the birds they observe every day. There are many stuffed birds, stuffed animals, books, picture books, picture books, etc. that even 3 year olds can enjoy. Check out the bird coloring corner too! My son said kindly to me and started coloring with enthusiasm. The natural breeze blows through, and even in the heat, you can enjoy a refreshing view of Lake Biwa from the perspective of a bird. They told me things like this is what the remaining birds looked like, and they always set the binoculars so that I could find them when I took a quick look at them.Even if I looked at them, I couldn't tell at all (lol) They were so small that even an amateur wouldn't be able to tell. Even if a bird comes along, the bird will quickly tell you, ``Oh, look, that white bird that just flew by is a gray heron,'' so even amateurs who have no idea about it can find more and more birds (lol) Our three-year-old son was very satisfied with the staff, who are passionate about research, and were very kind and accommodating, and by the end of the day he was talking to us in a friendly manner, saying things like, ``Look at the fish,'' ``You're doing this kind of fish,'' and ``You're coloring.'' (lol) *The cafe that was previously attached to the building is the yellow building across the street. Please note that there is no longer a cafe inside. (Original) 日曜日にお邪魔しました。お客さんは、うちだけでした。 こじんまりとした施設ですが、毎日観察された鳥たちのTwitterをされたり、鳥愛は凄い。鳥のぬいぐるみ、剥製、本、絵本、図鑑など沢山あり三歳も楽しめます。鳥の色塗りコーナーもどうぞ！と優しくお声掛けいただき、夢中で色塗りする息子。 自然の風が通り抜けていき、暑い中でも心涼やかに鳥の視点で水草から琵琶湖を眺められます。居残りの鳥はこんなのですよ、等お声掛け下さったり、常に双眼鏡をぱっと覗くと鳥が見つかるようセッティングして下さったり、見ていてもさっぱりわからん(笑)素人にはわからないくらいの小さな鳥が来ても『あ、ほら、今飛んできた白い鳥がアオサギです』とすかさず教えて下さるため、全然わからない素人でもどんどん鳥が見つかります(笑) 研究熱心な職員さんが、優しくゆるくご対応下さるため、三歳の息子も大満足で、最後の方は『魚見てん』『こんな魚やってん』『色塗ってん』とやたら親しげに話しかけてました(笑) ※以前併設されていたカフェは、はす向かいの黄色い建物です。こちらの中にはカフェはなくなりましたのでご注意下さい。

(Translated by Google) The building is not conspicuous, but the location was easy to find. You can get there by walking straight from the nearest station for about 20 minutes. It opened at 10am and I arrived at 10:30am and was the first one there. Afterwards, customers started coming in about every 30 minutes. The interior is spacious, with a cafe on the right and binoculars on the left where you can see Lake Biwa and swans. (Of course, you can see Lake Biwa from the cafe counter.) A guy who must be a big fan of binoculars showed me how to use them. He seemed to be getting along well with the customers. I ordered the most popular berry baked cheesecake and tea. It was surprisingly delicious. I want to eat it again.... There are also many types of tea. I ordered iced tea, but the cup was full of ice, and I poured the piping hot tea into it. After the hourglass is half full. There were also other curries on the lunch menu. I lingered here until my next scheduled time at 12:00, but I felt comfortable and the staff didn't say anything. There were also books and magazines, which was helpful as I wanted to do some research. Overall it was a very satisfying place. I would like to visit again if I have any travel plans. (Original) 建物は目立ちませんが、場所は分かりやすかったです。最寄り駅から徒歩20分ほど真っ直ぐいけば着きます。 10時オープンで10:30に着いた私が一番乗りでした。後からお客さんが30分おきぐらいに入ってきました。内装は広く、右側がカフェ、左側は双眼鏡で琵琶湖や白鳥をみることができます。(もちろんカフェのカウンターからも琵琶湖を一望できます。)双眼鏡が大好きなんだろうなと思うお兄さんが使用方法を教えてくださいました。お客さんとも親しんいる様子でした。 注文は、一番人気のベリーのベイクドチーズケーキと紅茶を。びっくりするほど美味しかったです。また食べたいなぁ....。紅茶も種類がたくさん。私はアイスティを頼んだのですが、コップ満タンに氷が入っておりそこに熱々の紅茶を注ぐんです。砂時計が半分になってから。他にもランチメニューのカレー等もありました。 次の予定時間の12時までここに長居していましたが、居心地がよく、お店の人も何も言いませんでした。本や雑誌もおいてあり、調べものをしたかったので助かりました。 総合的にとても満足のできる場所でした。また旅の予定があれば訪れたいです。

(Translated by Google) Although there are not many people coming and going, it seems to be a good environment for "waterfowl viewing". I had a relaxing time by myself. The cherry blossoms on the windmill road adjacent to the building were in full bloom (as of April 8, 2022). The restroom is outside the building, and facility users can use it for free, but you have to borrow the key, which is a bit inconvenient. So I'm deducting one star, but personally, it's a facility I'd like to visit again. (Original) 出入りする人は少ないものの"水鳥の観察"環境としては良い感じ。ひとりでゆっくり癒しの時間が過ごせました。建物が隣接する風車街道の桜は満開でした(2022/4/8現在)。お手洗いが外の建物で施設利用者は無料で使用できるようですが鍵を借りないといけなくてちょっと不便。なので星一つマイナスですが、個人的にはまた行きたいと思える施設です。

(Translated by Google) I visited during the day on a weekday, but I couldn't tell if the lights were on or not, so it was difficult to see from the road whether it was open or not. Admission is 200 yen, and you can watch waterfowl indoors with binoculars or monoculars. There is also a cafe inside the store, and the many stuffed animals are surreal. (Original) 平日昼間に伺いましたが、電灯が点いているのか分からず、OPENしているのかどうか道路からは確認しにくい。入館料は２００円で双眼鏡や単眼鏡で室内でまったり水鳥を観察できます。店内にカフェも併設していて、沢山の剥製もシュールです。

Blocked with thick snow on the road from Shiga side just before reaching the Onyu pass itself. What a pity! However it's a worthy drive as the view was really scenic on the drive up.

Great ride. Fun drive . Some points very rough road. Bring snacks. Maybe small lunch 😊

A must go place during autumn

Most beautiful and less visited spot... Recommended during autumn and early summer...

In winter cannot enter due to massive amount of snow from the Shiga side.

Beautiful The road to Obamah is a bit rough

Great scenic views. Especially towards the Sea of Japan.

It’s a bit shallow and some of it is under construction at the moment, but this is one of my favorite beaches of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. They used to have a dog specific area but that is the part of the beach that is under construction at the moment. Totally worth going to if you are in the area 👍 👍

I don't recommend this beach. I walked by in mid-June, the beach and the lake water were very dirty and smelly. Little shade. If you want to swim, take the JR line a few stations north to Omi Maiko, there's a nice stretch of coast with clean water and pine trees 5 minutes from the station.

I was so keen to have a swim on a hot summer day near Kyoto, so I came here at night. Only one other group of people on the beach being quiet. I was also quiet in my dip. I’m covered in tattoos so luckily the night had my back. I’m going to return in the day to see if I get called out.

Good beach that's great for kids due to it having a long shallow "shelf." Shops alongside the beach during summer are good too. There are hot showers for a small fee. Parking is 1,000 yen.

Nice quite beach

Nice beach

(Translated by Google) I was looking for a place where I could swim with my dog and this was a hit. The swimming area where you can swim with your dog is the farthest from the parking lot, so it's a bit of a walk. Because it's a lake, it didn't get sticky and was less uncomfortable. It was windy and there was no shade other than the tent we brought with us, but it was still comfortable. Parking is 1,500 yen per day. We arrived earlier than the 9:00 opening time, but the staff accommodated us. Perhaps because it was the last day of the holidays, it wasn't crowded and we were able to relax. The shaved ice syrup at the shop was free to refill and we could add as much syrup as we wanted. The kids were thrilled. (Original) 犬と一緒に泳げる場所を探して、こちらがヒットしました。ワンコと泳げる遊泳所は駐車場から1番遠い所にあり、少し歩きます。湖なので、ベタベタにならず、不快感が少なかったです。風が吹いており、持参のテント以外に日陰が無かったにもかかわらず、過ごしやすかったです。駐車場は1日1500円。開場時間9:00よりも早く到着しましたが、スタッフの方が対応してくれました。連休最終日の為か、混み合う事なくゆったりと過ごすことが出来ました。売店のかき氷のシロップがおかわり自由かつ、好きなシロップをかけ放題。子どもたち大喜びでした。

Nice place to rest en route cycling biwaichi. Nothing special, just a simple but fun monument that looks totally out of place, takes you a bit by surprise with a "why?! Why, here" with the Huge Gulliver statue and a little castle...xD. Nice sitting spaces around. Pond has huge koi fish. There's a Lawson convenience store right next door.

Near by this Gulliver monument is the Torii gate jn water

Kinda amusing to see this first thing after getting off the train

(Translated by Google) Takashima Town opened the ``Gulliver Youth Travel Village'' in 1988, inspired by Jonathan Swift's ``Gulliver's Travels,'' as a facility to give dreams and a sense of adventure to young people who will lead the future. This ``Gulliver Fairy Tale Square'' was built to be a plaza loved by many people, both as the gateway to the town and as the town where ``Gulliver Village'' is located. The pond with the statue of Gulliver and the boat resembles Lake Biwa, the surrounding plants represent the mountains of Hira, and the waterfall represents the ``Hafuchi Falls'' near Gulliver Village (one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls). (Melody chime Irish folk song "Chigusa in the garden") 【story) While on a voyage, Gulliver was sunk by a storm and washed up on an island. It was a country of dwarfs called Lilliput. One day, a neighboring country suddenly attacked Lilliput, so Gulliver bundled up all the warships with a rope. The people of Lilliput were so pleased with Gulliver's work that they welcomed him from their castle. (From "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift) That's what I said! A bronze statue in front of Omi Takashima Station! (Original) 高島町は、未来を担う青少年に夢と冒険心を与える施設として、ジョナサン・スウィフトの「ガリバー旅行記」をヒントとした「ガリバー青少年旅行村」を昭和62年に開村しました。 この「ガリバーメルヘン広場」は町の玄関口として、また「ガリバー村」がある町として、多くの人々に愛される広場となるように建設されたものです。 ガリバー像と船のある池は琵琶湖をかたどり、周りの植栽は比良の山々を、また滝はガリバー村の近くにある「ハッ淵の滝」（日本の滝百選）を表現しています。 （メロディーチャイムアイルランド民謡「庭の千草」） 【ストーリー） ガリバーが航海中あらしに出合いが沈み、ある島に流れつきました。 そこはリリパット国と言う小人の国でした。 ある日、となりの国がリリパット国を突然せめてきたので、ガリバーはその軍艦をロープでひとまとめにしました。 リリパット国ではガリバーの働きを大変よろこび、お城からガリバーを出迎えました。 (ジョナサン・スウィフト作「ガリバー旅行記」より） とのこと！ 近江高島駅前にある銅像！

(Translated by Google) I passed in front of Omi-Takashima Station. Gulliver Fairy Tale Square in front of Takashima Station ♪ It is unclear why "Takashima Town = Gulliver", but the name "Gulliver" is used in many places, such as "Gulliver Travel Village" and "Gulliver Hall", and it has become a theme for revitalizing the town. (Original) 近江高島駅の前を通りました。 高島駅前ガリバーメルヘン広場です♪ なぜ「高島町＝ガリバー」なのかは不明ですが、「ガリバー旅行村」や「ガリバーホール」などガリバーという名があちこちで使われ、町おこしのテーマになっています。

(Translated by Google) It's a magnificent Gulliver statue. Takashima is home to Gulliver Town and Gulliver Campground, and the whole town is really into Gulliver! (Perhaps a legacy of the bubble era??) (Original) 立派なガリバー像です。 高島はガリバータウンやらガリバーキャプ場やら、 街を挙げてのガリバー推しが熱いです！ (バブル期の遺産か？？)

A hidden place. Had two ski paths, but was closed as snow was not think enough in mid feb. But enough snow to build snow man and play with kids.

Nice place for a day out with the kids. There are separate sections for kids and adults. 600¥ for a day pass into the kids/sledge area for adults and children over 3 years of age. We had lots of fun!

Awesome place, nice slopes, friendly staff and good snow

good

(Translated by Google) The best thing about this ski resort is that it's close to the parking lot and slopes, and it's cheap. However, when I came back for the first time in a while, the price had gone up a bit. In particular, the price difference between the morning ticket and the one-day ticket was only 500 yen, making the morning ticket relatively expensive. This is a painful price increase for seniors who only need half a day. (Original) ここのスキー場はなんと言っても、駐車場とゲレンデが近いこと、安い事。だったのですが、ひさしぶりに来たらちょっと値上がりしてました。とくに午前券と１日券の価格差が500円しかなく、相対的に午前券がかなり割高になってました。 半日で十分なシニアには痛い値上げです。

(Translated by Google) It's close to Osaka, it's cheap, and I think it's good for families, whether it's practicing skiing with a theme or having fun with everyone. Levels range from beginner to intermediate. There is also a dedicated children's area where they can play on sleds, so even children who cannot ski can have fun. Although the scale is small and the courses are short and few, it is a well-maintained compacted snow slope, so it is easy to slip. The food and facilities are new, clean, and easy to use. What's unfortunate is that the actual opening period is short, and maybe that can't be helped. For those who want to practice, we recommend that you buy a morning ticket from the opening time and just ski, eat lunch, and then go home. There's a parking lot nearby, so if you're used to it, you might be able to have lunch in your car. others: ① When the headwind is strong, the slope is small so you won't be able to speed up. ②Crossing the mountain pass on Route 295 is closed in winter. If you are coming from Osaka or Kyoto and it snows, it is better to take the road on the Lake Biwa side. The snow plows are working hard on No. 367, but it is surprisingly difficult early in the morning when there is still snow on the mountain pass. Those who are used to snowy roads should be fine. This assumes studless tires. Please carry a chain. It is dangerous to go to Kuchiki Ski Resort with only normal tires. ③You should take a bath in the affiliated hot springs and then go home. One-day tickets include hot springs. You can actually take a bath in a hot spring for 300 yen. ④The last 2km to the ski resort is a steep slope. In most cases, it's okay because they remove snow and spray antifreeze, but if it continues to snow until the early hours of the morning, there are times when the snow removal won't be done in time for the store to open. There are times when we can't open even though it's snowing. There are many things to do, but this is my favorite ski resort, and it has a lot of goodness that you can't find at larger ski resorts. (Original) 大阪から近くて安く、テーマを持ってスキーを練習するか、皆んなでワイワイや、家族連れには良いと思います。 レベルは初級から中級まで。ソリで遊べる専用の子供エリアも有りますので、スキーが出来ないお子様も楽しめます。 規模は小さくコースは短く少ないですが、良く整備された圧雪バーンなので、滑り易いです。 食事や施設も新しく綺麗で使い易いです。 残念なのは、実質的なオープン期間が短い事、あの辺りは仕方がないのかも知れません。 練習したい人はオープン時間から午前チケットでひたすら滑りお昼を食べて帰るパターンがオススメです。駐車場も近いので慣れてる人は、車で昼食も良いかも。 その他: ①向かい風が強い時は傾斜が小さいのでスピードが出ない。 ②295号の峠越えは冬季通行止めになります。大阪京都方面からの場合で雪が降った時は琵琶湖側の道で行った方が確実。367号は除雪車も頑張っていますが、意外に峠の雪が残る早朝は大変です。雪道に慣れてる人は大丈夫。スタットレスタイヤ前提です。チェーンは携帯して下さい。 朽木スキー場へはノーマルタイヤだけでは危険です。 ③提携している温泉に入って帰るべし。 一日券で温泉付きがあります。実質300円で温泉に入湯出来ます。 ④スキー場までの最後の2キロ程度の急な坂道がくせ者です。ほとんどの場合、除雪＋凍結防止剤を撒いてくれているので大丈夫ですが、朝方まで雪が降り続けると、オープンまでに除雪が間に合わない時もあります。雪があるのにオープン出来ず、なんて事もあります。 色々ありますが、大きいスキー場には無い良さの溢れる大好きなスキー場です。

(Translated by Google) This is a small ski slope in Takashima City in the Kosai region of Shiga Prefecture. It's fairly obscure, and many people probably don't know about it. It's more of a family ski slope. The runs are short, the snow isn't particularly abundant, and local FM radio is constantly blaring, but there aren't many customers, morning tickets cost 2,000 yen, and the relaxed atmosphere is pleasant. On weekdays, you can sometimes see the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force skiing training here alongside the general public. The dish made with local chicken, "tonchan," is delicious. The fried chicken is especially tasty!! The distance and time are just right for a quick morning outing on your own. From Osaka, it takes about two hours. Even if you leave at 1 PM, you can get back by around 3 PM if you're in the Osaka area. It's close, isn't it? There's also a hot spring called "Tenkuu" near the slope. It's probably crowded on weekends, but it's less crowded on weekdays, and I think it's a good slope for warming up your legs or practicing with a specific theme. (Original) 滋賀県湖西地域の高島市にある小さなゲレンデです。結構マイナーで、知らない人も多いと思います。 どちらかと言えばファミリーゲレンデってタイプかもしれません。 コースも短いですし、雪の量も豊富って訳でも無いですし、地元FMラジオが垂れ流しっぱなしですが、お客さんは少ないし、午前券2000円ですし、まったりとした空気感が心地良いです。平日は一般客に混じって陸上自衛隊の雪上訓練(スキー)をしている事があります。 『とんちゃん』って言う地元の鶏肉を使った料理が美味しいです。特に唐揚げは美味し!! 朝から気が向いたからフラっと一人で滑りに行くにはちょうど良い時間と距離です。大阪からならだいたい2時間で着きます。13時に出ても大阪近郊なら15時位には帰れます。近いですねぇ。 ゲレンデの近所には『てんくう』って言う温泉もあります。休日はたぶん混雑しますが、平日なら空いてるし、足慣しやテーマを決めた練習をするなら良いゲレンデかと思います。

Went for a picnic at the end of autumn . Wasn't many people around ,the view was tranquill and spectacular . Wasn't expecting it , but as though the moon was showing us its true beauty. Unfortunately the restroom was a little eerie, but its functional :) .

Nice place but the city could do more to maintain it rather than leaving most of it upto the local volunteer community. I get it though, it's a lot of work, stuff grows fast here.

(Translated by Google) There is plenty of parking space, and depending on the season, red spider lilies may be in bloom. In winter, it's a slightly wider space. You can relax. (Original) 駐車スペースもしっかりあり、季節によりますが、彼岸花が咲いたりするようです。冬はちょっと広めの広場です。のんびりできます。

(Translated by Google) I visited here for fishing. There is only space for a few cars, but the toilets are a big plus. In autumn, clusters of red spider lilies bloom, so it's a popular spot for taking photos. (Original) 釣りのため訪れました。車は数台しか止めれませんがトイレ設置が大きなポイントだと思います。秋には彼岸花が群生するので写真撮影のため賑わいます

(Translated by Google) I come here on October 5, 2024. I missed it last year, so I've been waiting for this moment for a year. Luckily . The flowers bloom very beautifully, perhaps the best time is earlier, then fewer flowers, later, then the flowers wither. Some of the flowers have withered. Many people come to walk their dogs. Super adorable. Saw 2 cosplayers taking pictures. Also had a Japanese man take pictures. It seemed very approachable and I gave him some candy in return. It's a pity that I can't receive files of those pictures. If you have a camera to take photos, it costs 100 VND💯 It takes quite a while to get from the station to this location. Cars and motorbikes are the right choice. There are restrooms and parking. Ladies, please pay attention that the women's restroom does not have paper 🤣 (Original) Mình đến đây vào 5-10-2024 .

(Translated by Google) Lake Biwa is right next to it, and the red spider lily flowers are not clustered in one place, but bloom over a long distance. There are parking lots in some places, but you can't park many cars. There were some people parking on the road, but the road is not very wide so I wish they would stop. There are toilets and places to take a break, but there aren't many restaurants in the area, so it's best to buy them somewhere in advance. The view is amazing. Lake Biwa and cluster amaryllis are beautiful. (Original) 琵琶湖が直ぐ側にあって彼岸花が一箇所に固まってあるわけでは無くて長い距離を点在してる感じで咲いてます。駐車場は所々にありますがあまり台数停めることができません。路駐してる人もいましたがあまり道幅広くないのでやめてほしいですね。トイレと休憩する所はありますが周辺は特に飲食店は少ないので予め何処かで購入している方がいいですね。景色は素晴らしいです。琵琶湖と彼岸花が美しいです。

Very nice beach that is empty most of the time.

(Translated by Google) A swimming hole located in Kosai along Shiga Prefectural Route 54 (Windmill Road). Because it's a lake, it's not a beach, but a swimming hole. Stopped in early in the morning in mid-November. Perhaps because it was off-season, the parking lot, which could accommodate about 20 cars, was free (during the season, there was a charge?). Across the prefectural road is Hamabunuma, and between the prefectural road and the beach is a pine forest. There were several shops lined up, including boat rentals and coffee shops, but perhaps because it was off-season or because it was early in the morning, they weren't open, and at first glance it looked like an abandoned building. ← Excuse me Well, I guess it's lively in the summer... The beach is not sand but coarse gravel. The waves were calm and the water quality was clean. Looking out over Lake Biwa, I could see the Sugaura Peninsula, Tsuzura Ozaki, Kaizu Osaki, and Chikubu Island, creating a spectacular view of Sumbara. If the sky is clear, you can even see Mt. Ibuki behind Chikubu Island. (Original) 滋賀県道54号線（風車街道）沿い、湖西にある水泳場。 湖だから海水浴場ではなく「水泳場」なのね。 １１月中旬早朝に立ち寄り。 シーズンオフだったせいか20台くらい停められる駐車場は無料だった（シーズン中は有料？）。 県道挟んだ向かいには浜分沼があり、県道と浜の間には松林がある。 貸ボートや喫茶店など何店かお店が並んでいたが、シーズンオフなのか朝早いからなのか営業はしておらず、一見廃屋のようにも見えた。←失礼 まぁ、夏は賑やかなんだろうけど… 浜は砂ではなく粗い砂利。 波は静かで水質はキレイだった。 琵琶湖を望むと菅浦半島・葛篭尾崎(つづらおざき)や海津大崎、竹生島（ちくぶしま）が見え、スンバラしい景色が広がっていた。 キレイに晴れ渡っていれば竹生島の奥に伊吹山も見えるらしい。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time swimming in a lake. The view was spectacular, it didn't stick to my skin like seawater, and small waves pushed and slid back onto the sand... Schools of 15-20cm fish were swimming in the stream that flows into the lake, so it looked like you could fish there too✨ My husband and children used a net to drive fish. I was hoping we'd catch some, and they really did catch them unscathed!! There was also an old toilet nearby (no pavers), and I'd like to come back again. (Original) 人生初めての湖水浴。 絶景で、海水のように肌にベタつかず、小さな波が砂浜に押しては返す…。 湖へと流れる小川に、15〜20cmの魚が群れを成して泳いでいて、釣りもできそう✨ 主人と子どもたちは、網を使って追い込み漁。 「捕れるといいね〜」と思っていたら、ホントに無キズで捕ってきた!! すぐ近くに古いけれどトイレもあり（ペーバーは無し）、また来たいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) This is the place where I was able to watch Blue Impulse while swimming at the Self-Defense Force Festival in Takashima. There are only about 10 free parking spaces, and a similar number of paid parking spaces. There are free toilets, but you have to pay for showers. The water was clear in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a lot of algae, probably due to the tide changing. Still, the water was much cleaner than the swimming holes on the east side and the swimming holes in the middle and below. The swimming area is small, but wide and deep enough for children under elementary school age. The depth to the buoy is approximately 160cm, so it is best to let children play alone under the supervision of their parents. (Original) 高島であった自衛隊フェスでブルーインパルスを見るために、泳ぎながら見れた場所です。 無料駐車場は10台前後しかなく、有料も同じくらいの台数しかありません。 無料のトイレはありますが、シャワーは有料でありました。 午前中は水が綺麗ですが、午後からは潮目が変わるのか藻などが多く流れてきてました。それでも、東側の水泳場や中部以下の水泳場に比べればはるかに綺麗な水でした。 遊泳区域は小さいですが、小学生以下の子供には十分な広さと深さ。ブイまで行くと160cmくらいの深さになるので、子供の一人遊びは親の元で遊ばせるのが安心です。

(Translated by Google) Milan parking, fee for Milan barbecue, family place and jetsky traveling (Original) Estacionamento Milão, taxa pra fazer churrasco Milão, lugar familiares e jetsky percorrendo

(Translated by Google) There was a lot of driftwood washed away due to the flooding on the opposite bank, but the water seemed clean. It's a small beach. There are round pebbles rolling around under your feet, and sometimes there are broken shells, so it's a good idea to wear marine shoes. There are a lot of aquatic plants growing there, and there are some small fish, so it might be fun to look under the water. Jet skis are running outside the buoy. We couldn't find any shops or vending machines, so we made sure to bring what we needed. (Original) 対岸の洪水の影響で、流木が沢山流れてきていましたが、水はきれいな感じでした。小さいビーチです。足元は丸い小石が転がっていて、時々、割れた貝殻などもあるので、マリンシューズとかあった方が良いです。水草がそれなりに生えていて、小さい魚なんかもいるので、水の中を見ると楽しいかもしれません。ブイの外はジェットスキーとか走っています。 お店や自販機は見当たらなかったので、必要なものは持っていきましょう。

(Translated by Google) Free parking Open during swimming season Barbecues prohibited Camping prohibited Boating prohibited Toilets available No showers Clear water, great for relaxing (Original) 駐車場無料 遊泳期間中可能 バーベキュー禁止 キャンプ禁止 船出禁止 トイレ有り シャワー無し 水綺麗でのんびり出来ました

You can enjoy camping here with Onsen(spa). There are many camping zone and some tents are already prepared. You can just visit there and enjoy the nature without tents. Also, they have spa that is mixed, you wear swimming suite and can enjoy with family / friends together.

Good places to do camping, picnic, and BBQ. In here also available microwave to warm food. It's awesome. Best spot on spring to enjoy Sakura

Around 5000 yen for a camping spot (without any rentals). The shop has all that you would need for rent/sale but it closes by 5pm.

Good👍👍

Stunning view of mother nature

relaxing

Beautifull

(Translated by Google) This time I didn't have time so I only looked at the garden, but I was surprised by the gate! A dragon 🐲🐉 will welcome you. It is a park with a mysterious atmosphere. Next time, let's visit the inside of the memorial hall! It's right next to the roadside station Fujiki Azumigawa. (Original) 今回　時間がなく庭だけを見ましたが、門から驚き！ 龍🐲🐉が出迎えてくれます。 不思議な雰囲気の公園です 次は記念館内も訪れよう！ 道の駅藤樹安曇川からすぐです

(Translated by Google) It is scheduled to open in June 2025. As well as Fujiki Sensei, they also focus heavily on Emperor Keitai and other ancient history. It seems that the Folklore Museum was closed and merged into this museum. It has become a beautiful museum. The highlights are the crown and shoes that are thought to have been burial goods worn by someone related to Emperor Keitai. They are sparkly and beautiful. (Original) 2025年の6月から新規開店になってます。 藤樹先生だけでなく、継体天皇とか古代の歴史もかなり力入れてます。 民俗博物館が閉鎖されてこっちに統合されたようです。 綺麗な博物館になってます。 目玉は、継体天皇の関係者が着けていたと見られる副葬品の王冠とか靴です。 キラキラしてて綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) Closed until March 31, 2025 due to construction. Instead, you can listen to the story at the Shoin Ruins. It's right nearby. There is also a parking lot and toilets. (Original) 2025年3月31日までは工事の為閉館。 代わりに書院跡でお話聞けます。 すぐ近くです。 駐車場・トイレもあります。

(Translated by Google) Admission fee: 300 yen. No cycle rack. A memorial hall where you can learn about Toki Nakae, Japan's first positive scholar. First, you will be shown an 11-minute video. Afterwards, the museum staff gave a brief explanation while looking at the exhibits. After that, you are free to take a tour. If you don't have time, you can decline the explanation. Before I could ask any questions, the museum staff told me I could take photos, so I took as many photos as I wanted. There is a stamp of Fujiki Shrine right next to the building entrance. However, you can stamp it yourself. I don't think you need to pay the entrance fee if you just get the Goshuin stamp (please confirm). Fujiki Shrine and Yomeien Garden, which are located right next to each other, offer completely different landscapes. You can feel like you've been to China at Yomeien Garden. Cash only. No discount services available. (As of November 5, 2023) (Original) 入館料300円。サイクルラックなし。 日本初の陽明学者、中江藤樹を知ることが出来る記念館。 最初に１１分程度のビデオを見せられる。その後、館員による解説を展示品を見ながらざっくりと説明。あとは自由に見学させてくれる。時間が無ければ解説は断ることも可。 質問する前に館員から写真撮影可能と言ってもらえたので、写真取り放題してきた。 建物入り口すぐのところに藤樹神社の御朱印あり。ただし、自分でスタンプ押すスタイル。御朱印だけなら入館料払わなくてもいいと思う(要確認)。 すぐ隣にある藤樹神社と陽明園とでまったく雰囲気の異なる風景が見られる。陽明園で中国に行った気分になれる。 現金のみ。各種割引サービスなし。 (2023年１１月５日現在)

(Translated by Google) The noble personality of the Confucian scholar can be seen in the idyllic countryside. I toured the memorial hall thinking that this is a teaching that is indispensable to Japan today, and I was able to see Mr. Fujiki inside. (Original) のどかな田園地帯に儒学者の崇高な人格が伺える。今、日本になくてはならない教えじゃないかなぁと思いつつ記念館を見学し、藤樹先生を忍ばせてもらいました。

(Translated by Google) The exhibition volume is not large, so I can't give it high praise, but I would recommend it for 300 yen if you can learn about Toki Nakae's work. (Original) 展示ボリュームは大きくはないので取り立てた絶賛はできませんが、中江藤樹の大体のところを学べて300円、お勧めします。

(Translated by Google) I happened to stop by after stopping at the roadside station Adogawa, and it was a nice facility. There is also Fujiki Shrine next door, and you can also get a stamp there (it's free, but you have to stamp it yourself). The admission fee is 300 yen, but even though I was the only one there, he even explained stories and materials related to Professor Fujiki. (Original) 道の駅あどがわに寄ったあとにたまたま立ち寄ったところでしたが、寄って良かった施設でした。 となりには藤樹神社もあり、御朱印もこちらでいただけます（無料ですが、自分でスタンプ捺すタイプ）。 入館料は３００円ですが、私一人だけだったにも関わらず藤樹先生にまつわるエピソードや資料の解説までしてくれました。

(Translated by Google) It is located near Tanaka Ozuka. It seems that the Mio clan, who supported Emperor Keitai, is enshrined here. The shrine is magnificent, but the Tanaka-Ozuka Tumulus is only a few dozen meters away, so I think it would be a good idea to go see it as well. (Original) 田中王塚のそばにあります。 継体天皇を擁立した三尾氏が祀られているみたいです。 神社も立派ですが、田中王塚古墳も数十メートルくらいしか離れてないので、見に行くのも良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) The view from this shrine was amazing! I visited during the cherry blossom season, and the cherry blossoms in front of the shrine were truly magnificent and beautiful. (Original) この神社からの眺め、とても素晴らしかったです！桜の時期に訪れたのですが神社前の桜が実に立派で美しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Approximately 100 meters northeast of this shrine is the Tanaka Oozuka Tumulus (a tumulus believed to be the tomb of King Hikoshu and is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Agency). In 1905, the Imperial Household Agency identified it as the tomb of King Hikoshu, the father of King Keitai, and designated it, along with the three tombs to the south, as a reference site for the mausoleum. It is located at the tip of a hill called Taisanjino, and from the top you can see a panoramic view of Takashima City. Around 40 small tombs are gathered around this area, and are called the Tanaka Mounds. Based on the Sue ware and clay clay that were collected, it is thought to be a group of tumuli dating back to the latter half of the 5th century, with the Tanaka-Ozuka tumulus being the main tumulus, and the smaller tumuli being the baichō. (Original) この神社の北東１００m程の所に、田中王塚古墳(彦主人王の墓に比定され、宮内庁の管轄下にある古墳)がある。 明治38年(1905年)に宮内庁が継体大王の父である彦主人王墓と比定し、その南の陪冢(ばいちょう、主たる古墳に随伴する古墳)三基とあわせ、陵墓参考地としました。泰山寺野(たいさんじの)という丘陵の突端に位置し、頂上からは高島市が一望できる場所にあります。 この付近には40数基の小型墳が集まっており、田中古墳群と呼ばれています。採集された須恵器や埴輪などから、5世紀後半の古墳群であると考えられており、田中王塚古墳はその主墳であり、小型墳は陪冢(ばいちょう)とされています。

(Translated by Google) It was kept clean and I was able to visit comfortably. The stone steps had wavy handrails, making it easy to climb up and down. (Original) キレイに清掃してあり、気持ちよくお参りできました。石段には波々の手すりが設けてあり、登りやすく降りやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) The stone steps are a bit steep, so take your time and be careful of the elderly. There may be something romantic about ancient tombs. (Original) 石段が少々きつい、高齢者気をつけてゆっくりと。古墳はロマンがあるかも。

(Translated by Google) There were no beetles! lol Perfect for New Year's visit. I go every year. (Original) カブトムシは居なかったです！笑 初詣にはうってつけ。毎年いってます。

(Translated by Google) It's a very wonderful shrine. It would be nice if there was a parking lot. (Original) とても素晴らしい神社です。駐車場があるとよいですね。

nice little ski resort on a beautiful forested mountain. easy bunny slope, four harder runs accessible by lifts. small inexpensive restaurant, quick and friendly rental service, and a city bus that goes twice a day to the nearby train station. will definitely return!

good for beginners

(Translated by Google) In conclusion, this is the lowest rating of 1 star. The division between skiing/snowboarding and sledding/snow play areas is not clearly defined, and there are cases of illegal activities such as skiers/snowboarders crossing the sledding area, or conversely, sledding families (inbound) climbing the ski/snowboard lift slopes. It has become a zone. There are also rest houses and ticket offices. There are no rules or manners, such as people ignoring the flow of traffic in front of the building, leaving chairs and snowboards behind, and smoking everywhere (all Japanese). Since there is no longer a theory of natural goodness, I think the management should make it clear in writing. The management of the parking lot is also poor, with instructions differing between the parking lot fee collection staff and the security guards, giving the impression that there is not even the bare minimum level of cooperation. I won't be going back because I felt it was unsafe in many ways. (Original) 結論から言うと最低評価の星1つです。スキー・スノボとソリ遊びや雪遊びエリアの区分が明確ではなく、ソリ遊びエリアをスキー・スノボが横切る・逆にスキー・スノボのリフトゲレンデをソリ遊びの家族（インバウンド）が登っているなど、無法地帯と化しています。また、レストハウスやチケット売り場 の建屋前に動線を無視して、チェア設置やスノボを置き去りにしたり、ところ構わず喫煙したりなど（全て日本人）、ルールもマナーも皆無です。性善説は最早ないので、管理運営側が明文化して明示すべきと思います。駐車場の運営も拙く、駐車場の料金徴収係とガードマンさんたちの指示が異なるなど、最低限の連携も取れていない印象です。様々な意味で危ういと感じたので再訪はありません。

(Translated by Google) [Very slippery course for beginners] I visited when the name changed and the slope started to become a new slope, but it was a very slippery and nice slope. The staff maintains the lift landing area properly and controls the speed of the lift to suit the number of people riding it. I'm glad that you're taking good care of me. The course seems to be maintained every day and is in beautiful flat condition in the morning. I think this is a slippery course for beginners as there are many flat, gentle slopes. Although it is not the latest equipment, it is easy to use thanks to the careful management of the staff. ◾️Credit payment is also available ◾️The parking lot is close to the lift. ◾️The lift ticket is the type to be presented. ◾️The toilet is old, but the cleaning is done properly. We sincerely thank all the staff for their efforts in opening this slope again! (Original) 【とても滑りやすく初心者向けのコース】 名前が変わって新しいゲレンデになり始めて訪れましたが、とても滑りやすくて良いゲレンデになっていました。 スタッフの皆様がリフトの降り場をちゃんと整備してくれて、リフトの速さも乗る人に合わせてコントロールしてくれています。ちゃんと見守ってくれている姿勢が嬉しいです。 コースも毎日整備してくれているようで、朝には美しいフラットな状態になっています。 フラットな緩斜面が多いので初心者には滑りやすいコースだと思います。 決して最新の設備ではないけれど、スタッフの皆様の丁寧な運営で利用しやすくなっています。 ◾️クレジット決済も利用できます ◾️駐車場からリフトまでが近いです ◾️リフト券は提示するタイプです ◾️トイレは古いですが清掃はキチンとされています 再びこのゲレンデをオープンさせて下さった、スタッフの皆様の努力に心から感謝します！

(Translated by Google) I used it for an event. [Pros] - There were plenty of open areas to pitch tents. - There didn't seem to be much wildlife (no droppings). - There was a bus stop nearby. [Cons] - The soil was clayey, so the area in front of the stage was a mess, and people would slip and lose their belongings, which would get buried and lost. - The nearest hot spring was about 10km away. - During the off-season, restaurants and other facilities were closed, making the area feel like an isolated island. The wide, clear sky was great, but I wonder if I'd be better off somewhere else... (Original) イベントで利用しました。 【良かったところ】 ・テントを立てられる開けた場所が多くある ・野生動物があまりいない(フンが落ちてない)ように見える ・近くにバス停がある 【悪かったところ】 ・土壌が粘土質で、ステージ前がぐちゃぐちゃになり、滑ったり落し物が埋もれて見当たらなくなる人が発生 ・一番近い温泉が10kmほど離れてる ・スキーのオフシーズンは、レストラン等がやっておらず、陸の孤島になる 空が広くてクリアに聴こえるのは良かったけど、別のところの方がいいかなぁ...。

(Translated by Google) ◎I came on a holiday. Arrive at the parking lot by being directed to the second parking lot. It's conveniently located because you can get there from Shiga in just over an hour without using the expressway.It's probably a slope with only natural snow, but it's perfect for families with children.The staff is also kind. The ski resort, which is located in an interesting location on the border between Shiga and Fukui prefectures, is a hidden gem. Restaurant prices are a little high, so my family has always boiled water on the stove and eaten ramen and other dishes. I still want to ski this year ✨ It's not a big slope, but it's a recommended slope. (Original) ◎祝日に来ましたぁ 駐車場は第二駐車場に誘導されて到着 滋賀から高速使わず1時間ちょいで来れるから近場で便利　おそらく天然雪のみのゲレンデやけど子供連れには丁度よい　スタッフの方も親切 滋賀県と福井県の県境という事で面白い場所にあるスキー場は穴場です　レストランの料金は少し高いので我が家は昔から自前でコンロ等でお湯沸かしてラーメン等を食べてまーす まだまだ今年は滑りたいです✨大きなゲレンデではありませんがおすすめのゲレンデです

(Translated by Google) I was told that this place is recommended if you are bringing children ⛄️ There is a slope exclusively for sledding. With moving belt Right from the parking lot to the slopes It's empty even on Sunday You can get there in 2 and a half hours from Nara city without taking the expressway. The staff were also kind. Too bad sweets weren't sold anywhere! Also, it would be great if there was a convenience store ᵕ̈* (Original) 子連れならここオススメと教えてもらいました⛄️ そり専用ゲレンデあり ムービングベルトあり 駐車場からゲレンデすぐ 日曜でも空いてる 高速のらなくても奈良市内から2時間半でいける スタッフさんも優しかった お菓子がどこにも売ってなかったのだけ残念！ あとはコンビニあれば最高ですねᵕ̈*

(Translated by Google) On windless days, the rocky peaks rising from the mirror-like surface of the water look mysterious. When I climbed up, it was quite white with bird droppings. Ants and insects also live there, and I wonder if they have flown in or if they have evolved into the Galapagos. (Original) 風のない日は鏡のような水面からそびえ立つ岩峰が神秘的です。登ってみると鳥の糞でけっこう白い。アリや虫も住んでいて、飛んできたのか、ガラパゴス進化しているのか気になる。

(Translated by Google) The rocks jutting out into Lake Biwa stand tall. The tour boat took us around the rocks, and I understood what they meant by "the way it looks changes depending on where you are." According to the guide, the trees growing on the rocks turn red in autumn. (Original) 琵琶湖に突き出た岩が聳え立つ。観光船が岩を一周してもらえたので「場所によって見え方が変わる」という意味が分かりました。ガイドさんの話によると、岩の上に生えている木は秋にはちゃんと紅葉するそうです。

(Translated by Google) Basically, anywhere in the central part of Lake Biwa feels like you've gone from the crowds of the real world to another world of another dimension, where there are no people, but this is a rock monument that suddenly rises in the midst of it. Did you feel like you encountered the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes? I guess, I am. As you can see in the photo, you can see that rock climbing enthusiasts come here. But is this okay? Even if I drive my hammer into the sacred rock (Original) 基本的に琵琶湖の中央部はどこも、現実世界の人混みから全く人が居ない異次元の別世界に行った感があるのですが、こちらはその中に突如としてそびえ立つ岩のモニュメントで、例えるなら、猿の惑星の最後に出てきた自由の女神に遭遇した感？かな、私は。 写真のように、ロッククライミング愛好家が来るのも分かります。 しかし、これ大丈夫なの？ 神聖な岩にハーケン打ち込んでも

(Translated by Google) I visited this island by SUP in September 2025. It is one of four islands floating on Lake Biwa, but it is more of a rocky area than an island. It takes about an hour by SUP or kayak to get to Takagejima Island and about two hours to get to Shirahige Shrine. (Original) 2025年9月にSUPで来訪。琵琶湖に浮かぶ4つの島の1つであるが、島のというより岩場である。SUPやカヤックならここから多景島まで約1時間、白髭神社まで約2時間かかる。

(Translated by Google) Four large and small rocks located almost in the middle of North Lake Biwa serve as indicators for ships navigating the vast Lake Biwa. A mysterious rock that rises from the bottom of the lake at a depth of about 80m.The part that protrudes above the water surface is about 20m. It's a strange topography, with a rock about 100 meters long sticking out from the lake bed. Off the coast of the nearby Azumigawa River, there is a pinpoint spot at the deepest part of Lake Biwa, at a depth of 104 meters, which could easily accommodate this rocky mountain. Although it can only be reached by boat, it is a mysterious scenic spot where you can feel the grandeur of nature. (Original) 琵琶湖北湖のほぼど真ん中に位置する大小４つの巨岩、広い琵琶湖を航行する船の指標になります。 水深約80mの湖底からそびえ立つ神秘的な岩、水面に突き出た部分は約20m、 約100mの岩が湖底から突き出ていると思うと不思議な地形。 近くの安曇川沖にはこの岩山がすっぽり収まりそうな水深104mの琵琶湖最深部がピンポイントで存在します。 船でしか行けないけれど、自然の壮大さを感じれる神秘的な絶景スポット。

(Translated by Google) It's just a rock, but don't you think that's what makes it so special? (Original) 言ってしまえばただの岩、でも、だからこそなにかいいと思いませんか？

(Translated by Google) This is a famous power spot on Lake Biwa. It has a beautiful view. (Original) 琵琶湖の有名なパワースポットです。 良い景観です。

(Translated by Google) It is a rare shrine just to have a Tahoto pagoda, and it is a shame that the roofs of the main hall and shrines in the precincts that are parallel to each other have been replaced with modern-style stainless steel roofs. The layout of the other small shrine buildings within the precincts is also unique and interesting. (Original) 多宝塔があるというだけでもレアな神社、本殿や並列する境内社の屋根が杮葺から現代風のステンレス葺に替わってしまったことは残念。それ以外の小さな境内社の社殿配置もユニークで興味深い。

(Translated by Google) The shrine (Niunigei no Mikoto) becomes the grandchild of the sun (Amaterasu Omikami). (Original) 神社（邇邇芸命）は太陽（天照大御神）のお孫さんになる。

(Translated by Google) The Tahoto pagoda, the remains of Jinguji Temple, remains within the shrine grounds. (Original) 神社の境内に神宮寺の遺構の多宝塔が残っている

(Translated by Google) The pagoda was so beautiful!!! The ruins of Jinguji Temple were also great!! (Original) 多宝塔がとてもきれいでした！！！！ 神宮寺跡もよかったです！！

(Translated by Google) It's a very rural shrine, but it's very relaxing! (Original) 凄く田舎の神社ですが、ほっこりします！

(Translated by Google) It's wonderful that the shrine still has its pagoda. I was impressed by how orderly and beautiful the shrine buildings are, including the pagoda. (Original) 神社に多宝塔が残っているのが素晴らしい。 多宝塔を含め、社殿が整然として美しく、感動しました。

(Translated by Google) Ninigi Shrine is a shrine located in Kuchiki, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. In ancient times, they were called ``Ten Zen Masters.'' It also once had a Jinguji temple (Tendai sect), and the stone marker and Tahoto pagoda built during the Tenpo era (1830-1844) remain. The old company rank was Gosha. Year of establishment unknown. It is said that Hiyoshi Juzenshi Shrine (currently Hiyoshi Taisha Sessha Kishita Shrine (however, the deity enshrined at Kishita Shrine is said to be Kamo Tamayorihime)) was commissioned in the early Heian period. It changed its name to its current name in the first year of the Meiji era (late 19th century), and was promoted to Gosha in 1940. (Original) 邇々杵神社（ににぎじんじゃ）は、滋賀県高島市朽木にある神社である。古くは、「十禅師」と称した。またかつては神宮寺（天台宗）を有し、石標と天保年間（1830 - 44年）に造られた多宝塔が残っている。旧社格は郷社。創祀年代不詳。平安時代初期に、日吉十禅師社（現日吉大社摂社樹下神社(但し、樹下神社の祭神は鴨玉依姫神とされている。)）を勧請したものと伝える。明治初年（19世紀後葉）に現社名に改め、昭和15年（1940年）に郷社に昇格した。

(Translated by Google) Kansai flower temple number 14, Koshoji. The principal image is Shakyamuni Nyorai, and we are grateful to be able to worship it up close. Please refer to the photo for the current state of autumn leaves as of November 9th, so it looks like it will take a while. Kosai, Shiga Prefecture, is a calm place with few people and is impressive for its clean air. The roads are said to be congested during the cherry blossom season, but at first glance you wouldn't believe how peaceful it was. I'm glad I was able to visit calmly. thank you. (Original) 関西花のお寺14番、興聖寺さん。御本尊様は釈迦如来様で、間近で参拝できるありがたさがあります。11月9日現在の紅葉状況は写真参照で、あとしばらくかかりそうですかね～。滋賀県は湖西、人家も疎らな落ち着いた場所で空気が綺麗なのが印象的。桜の季節には道路が渋滞しちゃうそうですが、一見すると信じられない長閑な場所でした。落ち着いてお参りできて良かったです。ありがとうございます。

(Translated by Google) 2024/5/13 There was a large free parking lot 🅿🚙. There were many graves in front of the main shrine, but perhaps because it was raining, it looked very mysterious. Many of the graves were of high-ranking military personnel. The garden, which is said to be the prototype of Kyoto's gardens, can be viewed for free. There is a fee to enter the main shrine, but it was great to be able to see various Buddhist statues up close, including Masashige Kusunoki's Nenjibutsu. It seems that the 12th Ashikaga Shogun (about 1200 years ago) escaped from a rebellion and was protected by the Kuchiki clan. It has long been associated with the Hosokawa family, including Tadaoki Hosokawa, and now it seems that the former Prime Minister Hosokawa used to come here as well. (Original) 2024/5/13 無料の大きな駐車場🅿🚙がありました。 本殿前には、お墓が沢山あったのですが、雨が降っていたせいか、凄く神秘的な感じがしました。 お墓は陸軍の身分の高い人達が多かったです。 京都の庭の原型と言われている庭園は、無料で見ることが出来ます。 本殿内部は有料ですが、楠木正成の念持仏など、色んな仏像を間近で見ることが出来、凄く良かったです😌 第十二代　足利将軍（約1200年前）が、反乱から逃れ、朽木氏に守られていたみたいです。 細川忠興など昔から細川家とも関係があり、今では、元　細川総理もここに来られていたみたいです。

(Translated by Google) 2024.6.10 Free parking available, admission fee 300 yen. It was built in 1240 by Nobutsuna Sasaki, the lord of Kuchiki Village, to mourn his family members who died in the Jokyu War. This is a Soto sect temple whose principal image is a seated statue of Shakyamuni Nyorai. Behind the shiny wooden boards, you can climb up a ladder and see the statue of Shakyamuni Nyorai (an important cultural property) up close. During the Muromachi period, the 12th Shogun Yoshiharu Ashikaga and the 13th Shogun Yoshiteru fled from a rebellion and relied on the Kuchiki clan to stay in this area, in other words, the administration was conducted here. As you walk around, you'll see what looks like earthworks and a moat...it looks like a castle protecting important people. If something happens, you can evacuate to Kyoto, and if an enemy comes, it's a good place to evacuate to the Sea of ​​Japan side. It seems that there were mansions for people who accompanied the shogun, and some people called it the "Kuchiki Shogunate"... There is a beautiful garden. If you sit on a chair at Tsubakitei, a garden built for Shogun Yoshiharu, you will find gardens like this in Kyoto as well. The ruler, the Kuchiki clan, the Shogunate's Imperial Guard, and the protected generals must have felt at ease. I was crying in the taiga, but... Another point is that when Oda Nobunaga attacked Yoshikage Asakura in Fukui, Nagamasa Asai, who had formed an alliance with him, suddenly betrayed him and attacked him, and then he took refuge in Sabakaido. At that time, Mr. Kuchiki helps Nobunaga. It is said that he delivered it to Kyoto with an escort. In return...I saw that there were a lot of historical secrets like that. If you look at the tablets and numbers at the back of the main hall, you'll think so. It is a historical temple that you will never get bored of😊 (Original) 2024.6.10 無料駐車場有り、拝観料300円。朽木村領主、佐々木信綱が承久の乱で亡くなった一族を弔う為、仁治3年(1240)創建。本尊に釈迦如来坐像を祀る曹洞宗の寺院です。 ピカピカの板の間奥、釈迦如来像(重文)はハシゴで登り間近で拝観出来ます。 室町時代、第12代将軍足利義晴、13代将軍義輝は反乱から逃れ、朽木氏を頼りこの地に滞在、つまりここで行政が行われていたのです。 散策すれば土塁や堀らしき物も…重要な人物を守る城の様です。もし、何か有れば京都へ、敵が来れば日本海側へ避難出来る良い場所です。将軍に随行した人達の屋敷も有った様で"朽木幕府"と呼ぶ人も有ったとか… 美しい庭があります。将軍義晴の為に作られた庭、椿亭の椅子に座れば京都にもこんな感じの庭が有ります。統治者の朽木氏は幕府側の親衛隊、守られた将軍も安心して過ごしたことでしょう。大河では涙していたが… もう１つ、織田信長が福井の朝倉義景を攻めた時、同盟を結んだ浅井長政の突然の裏切りではさみ撃ち、そこで逃げ込んだのが鯖街道。その時、朽木氏は信長を助ける。おまけに護衛を付けて京迄届けたという。その見返りは…そんな歴史秘話は一杯有ると見た。本堂の奥の位牌と数を見たらそう思うだろう。飽きること無しの歴史寺ですよ😊

(Translated by Google) A very well-maintained temple The garden was very nice. garage is above Inside the temple for 300 yen You can view it🤗 (Original) すごく手入れのされていたお寺で お庭がとても良かったです。 ガレージが上にあり 300円でお寺の中 拝観できます🤗

(Translated by Google) To get there by car from Hirakata City, take the Nishiotsu Bypass, get off at the Mano Interchange, head west on National Route 477, merge with National Route 367, and then just continue along the road. I used the Meishin Expressway on the way, but the road was not crowded and I was able to arrive from my home in about an hour and a half. The entrance to the temple is as you drive along National Route 367, and you will see a large signboard that says "Koshoji Temple" on your right, so turn off the national highway and enter the road diagonally to the left, but the parking lot entrance will be on your left immediately after entering. Please note that there is no charge for use. I can't see the white lines in the parking lot, so I can't count them, but it's quite large enough to accommodate about 10 cars. The day I visited was a public holiday in March, but perhaps because the weather was bad, I arrived around 11am and was the only car parked there. By the way, there were two more cars on the way home. I will post a photo of the arrival area. I think you can see the spacious parking lot from the photo. I think it took about 2 or 3 minutes to walk up the stairs from the parking lot, but it was a short walk to Koshoji Temple. While walking, I saw a sign saying that the entrance fee was 300 yen, so I rang the doorbell at the entrance of the temple, and a guide came out and showed me around the temple. The purpose of my visit was to see a garden associated with Shogun Ashikaga. I thought I had some prior knowledge of the garden as I had often seen it featured on TV, but I was very happy as I had never expected to be shown around the temple. I was the only visitor at this time, but he gave me a thorough explanation. From the history surrounding the temple, there are photos taken when former Prime Minister Hosokawa, a descendant of Fujitaka Hosokawa, who is said to have stayed at Koshoji Temple as a vassal of Yoshiteru Ashikaga, visited the temple, and the history of the temple being built as a family temple for the Sasaki family, a direct descendant of Udaten. There is a photo of Prince Akishino visiting Gakushuin when he was a high school student. The principal image of Buddha, a seated statue of Shakyamuni Nyorai (a nationally important cultural property), was worshiped by Fujiwara no Yorimichi when his nephew, Emperor Ichijo's son, passed away, as it was said to be one of the three Buddhas. It is said that Shibari Fudo Myoo was originally a Nenjibutsu of Masashige Kusunoki, but when Tokitsune Kuchiki attacked Chihaya Castle in present-day Osaka Prefecture at the end of the Kamakura period, he used it to avoid being exposed to military fire. For this reason, they have moved it to our temple for a festival. This Ming-o-o has also come to an end. As I gazed into the eyes of Masashige Kusunoki, who must have been seen praying to him many times, my thoughts wandered to the stage of Masashige Kusunoki's heroic history, and I felt somehow strange that we could still worship Fudo Myoo in this day and age. I think I got that feeling. Unfortunately it's raining outside the main hall. However, since there was a four-room tower, I was able to leisurely admire the garden from within the four-door tower, which was nice. There was a dead end around the garden, so I was able to appreciate it from a little distance, but I felt that it created a luxurious atmosphere, as it was built for the shogun's entertainment. Ta. According to the explanation at the temple, the 500-year-old camellia trees bloom beautifully, so I hope to be able to visit again in April before Golden Week. By the way, on the way back, there was a blizzard, and I had to drive in bad weather that I don't usually experience in Hirakata, where I live. On the way back, I didn't use the Nishiotsu Bypass and headed south on National Route 367, passing through Ohara in Kyoto City and heading home. The weather continued to be bad until we left Shiga, and although the roads were not covered in snow, I was worried about the tires slipping while driving. I was underestimating the weather in the mountains. I am reminding myself that I will be careful to choose a day with good weather the next time I visit. (Original) 枚方市から車で往きは西大津バイパスから真野インターから下りて、国道477号を西進、国道367号に合流し、あとはひたすら道なりに進むだけ。途中名神高速道を利用しましたが、道は混雑しておらず自宅から１時間半程度で到着できました。 お寺の入り口は、国道367号を進んでいると右手に興聖寺と書いた大きな案内看板が立っていますので、国道から外れ左斜めの道に入りますが、駐車場入口は入って直ぐ左手にありますので注意してください(利用料は無料)。 駐車場は白線は見えず数えることは出来ませんが数１０台はとめれそうな結構な広さです。訪問日は３月の祝日でしたが、天候が悪かったせいなのか11時ごろ到着で駐車していた車は私のみでした。ちなみに帰りは２台増えていましたが。 到着場の写真を掲載しておきます。写真の様子から広目の駐車場がお分かりになるかと思います。 駐車場から階段を使って歩けば2分か3分ほどだったと思いますが短い距離で興聖寺に到着です。歩いている途中で拝観料が300円とかいた看板を見かけ、お寺の玄関で呼び鈴を鳴らすと案内の方が出て来られ、お寺のなかをご案内いただきました。 訪問の目的が足利将軍ゆかりの庭園を観ることでした。庭園についてはテレビでたびたび紹介されていて関心もあり多少の予備知識を持っていたつもりでしたが、まさかお寺のなかを案内いただけるとは思っていなかったのでとても嬉しかったです。この時も訪問客はわたし一人でしたが丁寧にご説明くださりました。 寺にまつわる歴史から、足利義輝の家臣として興聖寺に滞在したことがあるという細川藤孝の子孫でいらっしゃる細川元総理のお寺訪問の際の写真や宇多天直系佐々木家の菩提寺として建立された歴史から秋篠宮殿下が学習院の高校生時代にご訪問された写真が掲げられています。 本尊の釈迦如来座像(国重文)は藤原頼道が甥にあたる一条天皇の皇子が亡くなった際に供養のため三仏のうちの一体とのことでしっかりと拝ませていただきました。 縛り不動明王は元々は楠木正成の念持仏であったそうですが、朽木時経が鎌倉時代末期にいまの大阪府にあった千早城を攻めた際に兵火にあわんとするのを避けるため当寺にお移しおまつりしているとのことです。こちらの明王様もしっかりとおまいりさせていただきました。楠木正成が念仏している姿を何度もとらえたであろう玉眼を見つめながら、楠木正成の壮絶な歴史の舞台に想いが巡り、いまの時代にもこうして不動明王を拝めることになんとなく不思議な感覚を得たおもいです。 本堂の外はあいにくの雨。しかし四阿がありましたので、四阿の中からゆっくりと庭園をめでることができましたので良かったです。なお庭園の周りは行き止まりになっていましたので、少し離れた位置からの鑑賞でしたが将軍の慰みのために作ったというだけあって豪奢な雰囲気をもった景色を形成していると感じました。 お寺の御説明では樹齢500年ほどのヤブツバキが綺麗に花を咲かせるとのことですので、4月に入ってからGW前に再訪しできればとおもいます。 因みに、帰りは吹雪の状態で、住まいの枚方では日頃味わえない悪天候のなかドライブをすることになりました。帰りは西大津バイパスを利用することなく国道367号をそのまま南下し、京都市の大原を抜け帰宅の途につきました。滋賀を出るまでは悪天続きで、路面が雪で積もるまでに至ることはありませんでしたがタイヤが滑らないか運転中不安でした。山での天候を甘くみていました。つぎの訪問時は天気のよい日を選んぶようにくれぐれも注意したいと自省しております。

(Translated by Google) This is a famous temple in Kuchiki that appeared in Ryotaro Shiba's masterpiece, ``Kosai no Michi,'' the first work in ``Kaido wo Yuku,'' which became one of his masterpieces in his later years. It is one of the Kansai Flower Temple Sacred Sites, and the flower is the camellia, but there are almost no places that actively attract tourists, and the place quietly protects its history and accepts visitors kindly. A temple where you can visit. Iwajinkan was once located here, where Yoshiharu Ashikaga, the 12th shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, stayed to escape the war, and the garden is said to have been created by Kanrei Hosokawa Takakuni, an elegant man at the time, for the shogun, who left Miyako and went on to become a mute. has been done. Afterwards, the Kuchiki clan's family temple, Shurinji, was built in this area, and this garden came to be called the former Shurinji garden. Shurin-ji Temple was later moved, and Kosho-ji Temple came here later. In other words, it is often said about Koshoji that ``Zenji Dogen named it Koshoji because the scenery was too similar to Koshoji in Fushimi Fukakusa on his way down to Echizen Eiheiji''. , that means. By the way, there is a place on the internet that says, ``The scenery resembles the place where Koshoji Temple in Uji is'', but that is clearly incorrect. Koshoji Temple, built by Dogen Zenji, was located in Fushimi Fukakusa, but has since been abolished. Koshoji Temple, which is now located in Uji, was rebuilt in the Edo period by Nagai Naomasa, the lord of Yodo Castle. The parking lot is quite large. As you head north on the national highway on the right bank of the Azumigawa River, you will see a signboard on your left confirming the existence of a parking lot. If you climb the stairs from there, you will see a beautiful temple surrounded by greenery on the edge of the river terrace formed by the Azumigawa River. In front of the temple's modest gate are the graves of soldiers from this village who fought and died for their country, and you can see them calmly looking back at their hometown. When you enter the gate, the ``Old Shurinji Garden'' will be on your left. Unlike the well-maintained gardens of famous tourist temples in Kyoto and other places, this garden has a beauty that feels like it is integrated with nature. It's as if human hands and skills have blended into nature over time. When you apply for a visit at the reception desk on the right side of the main hall, the chief priest's wife will show you around the hall. The principal image of Buddha, the seated statue of Shakyamuni Nyorai, and the statue of Fudo Myoo enshrined in the Reishi Hall are masterpieces. You'll never get tired of seeing it, and you'll want to visit again and again. (Original) 司馬遼太郎氏の、特に晩年の代表作となった「街道をゆく」の最初の作品「湖西のみち」に登場した朽木の名刹。「関西花の寺霊場」のひとつであり、藪椿がその「花」ではあるが、観光客を積極的に誘致するようなところはほとんどなく、静かにその歴史を守り訪れる人々をやさしく受け止めてくれるお寺。 かつてここには戦乱を逃れて室町幕府の12代将軍足利義晴が滞在した岩神館があり、みやこを離れて無聊をかこつ将軍のために当時の風流人である管領細川高国が作庭したとされている。その後、この地に朽木氏の菩提寺、秀隣寺が建立されたためにこの庭は旧秀隣寺庭園と呼ばれるようになった。秀隣寺はその後に移転、興聖寺がこちらに来たのはその後になる。つまり興聖寺についてよく言われる「道元禅師が越前永平寺に下向される途上で伏見深草の興聖寺にあまりに風景が似ているので、同じ興聖寺と名付けた」のは別の場所、ということ。ちなみにネットでは「宇治の興聖寺のある場所に風景が似て」と書いているところがありますが、あれは明確に間違い。道元禅師が建立した興聖寺は伏見深草にあり、その後に廃絶。いま宇治にある興聖寺は江戸時代になってから淀城主の永井尚政により再建されたもの。 駐車場はかなり広い。安曇川右岸の国道を北上すると左手に看板が見え駐車場の存在が確認できる。そこから階段を登ると、安曇川が形成した河岸段丘の縁に緑に包まれた美しいお寺が現れる。お寺のささやかな山門前には、この村の出身で国のために戦い斃れた兵士のお墓が並び、静かに故郷を見つめて鎮まっているのが見られる。門を入ると左手に「旧秀隣寺庭園」。京都などの有名観光寺院のような整備されつくした庭とは違い、自然と一体化したような美しさ。人の手、技巧が歴史を経て自然に溶け込んでしまったような。 本堂の右手の受付で拝観を申し出ると、住職さんの奥さんが堂内を案内して下さる。本尊の釈迦如来坐像、霊牌堂にお祀りされている不動明王像が名品。いつまでも見飽きない、何度でも訪れたくなる。

(Translated by Google) It became a Soto Zen temple and was built on the site of the mansion where the last two Ashikaga Shoguns spent 10 years, having fled to Kutsuki. It has a 500-year-old garden built by the Shogun and a principal image from the Heian period. I was surprised to see Acala, the famous self-prayer Buddha of my favorite military commander. It was also no surprise that Crown Prince Akishino and the Hosokawa family, among others, had visited the temple when I was in junior high school. The origin of the principal image was also very interesting and impressive. (Original) 曹洞宗の寺となり、朽木に逃げていた足利将軍最後2代、10年過ごした館後に建てられた寺。将軍が造らせた500年前の庭園や平安時代の本尊。有名な私の大好きな武将の自念仏といった不動明王とも会う事が出来てビックリしました。又、中学時代の秋篠宮皇嗣殿下や細川家等が訪れているのも納得でした。また、本尊の由来も大変興味深く立派なものでした。

(Translated by Google) The main shrine and other parts of the shrine were damaged due to typhoon damage. It is currently undergoing reconstruction and is seeking donations. It is a Shikinai shrine that has been revered as Habu Daimyojin since ancient times, and is a historic shrine whose construction can be traced back to before the Nara period. Originally, praying for rain was held in various places around Lake Biwa, and a similar ceremony was held at Narifu Shrine as well. A clay horse was unearthed from the temple grounds, and since the festival coincides with the festival of the Goddess of Elephant, it seems to be related to the rain ritual at Nyukawakami Shrine. The precincts are filled with a pure atmosphere that will cleanse your soul. (Original) 台風被害により御本殿などに被害が出てしまいました。今現在は復興中で御奉賛を募っています。 古来、土生大明神と仰がれた式内社で、創建は奈良時代以前に遡ることができる由緒ある神社です。 元々、琵琶湖周辺の各地では雨乞いが行われ、波爾布神社でも同様に祈雨の儀式が行われてきました。境内からは土馬が出土し、ちょうど罔象女神をお祭りしていることから、丹生川上神社の祈雨の神事との関連が思われます。 境内は清澄な雰囲気に満ち満ちて、心が洗われます。

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 9, 2019 I received a goshuin (calligraphy stamp) in the building on the left side of the shrine. The main shrine was damaged by the typhoon, so restoration work is currently underway. I pray for a speedy recovery. Regarding worship, the deity had been moved to the shrine office, so I prayed there. (Original) 令和元年11月9日参拝 拝殿より左側の建物にて御朱印(書置き)拝受しました。 台風により本殿が被害を受けたため、現在復旧工事をされています。 １日も早い復旧をお祈りします。 なお参拝については、社務所に神様が移動されているので、そちらでお参りしました。

(Translated by Google) It is a small shrine. There is a stream flowing at the entrance under the torii gate. I think this water was used for daily life. The enshrined deity, Miss Hanome no Masako, was an actual woman who lived and met her end here. I think that the only thing that is "accurate" is what is written in the Kojiki, so on the other hand, you can feel free to use the folklore of various shrines in various places. It is possible to imagine how the people who were enshrined in that place lived their lives through a line of ancient documents, inscriptions, and other [ancient memories].It's a fun part of ancient history.I'm sure Miss Hanome no Masako is on the other side of Lake Biwa. While looking at the lights, I think he thought about his old life and prayed for his family every day.

(Translated by Google) Shikinaisha Meishin Taisha. Last year, when I was touring Maruoka Castle during Hokuriku tourism, I visited Takamukai Shrine, which is connected to Furihime, the mother of Emperor Keitai, and when planning my Shiga history sightseeing this time, I decided to visit the Tomb of King Hikoshu, her spouse and father of Emperor Keitai. I decided to visit because it was located in Azumigawa. In addition to visiting the Hikoshu King's Tomb (Tanaka Ozuka Tumulus and Azumi Mausoleum Reference Site), we will also visit the company and Mieo Shrine, which enshrines Hiko Shushu's King Furihime. Furihime seems to have originated from the Mio-kun/Mio clan, whose ancestor was the deity enshrined at Mizuo Shrine, and the base of the Mio clan was the Wadauchi River (Mizuno River) area at the foot of Mt. I wonder? I don't know where King Hikoshu's headquarters was, but it appears that he proposed to Furihime, who was said to be beautiful, from the ``Three-Tailed Bettei (Bettei)''. It seems that Mio-no-Kimi had power in Noto-Kaga-Omi, and after the death of her master, Hiko, Furihime, who became a widow, decided to take shelter in Takamukai Shrine (Takamukai Shrine) with the young Emperor Keitai. According to the exhibits at the Fukui Prefectural Wakasa History Museum that I visited the day before, Noto-Kaga-Wakasa-Omi was probably a close cultural area as it was a distribution route for salt and seafood. It's fun to connect all the places you visit. #20230807 ♯Visit the ruins of Echizen Wakasa Omi Iga Ise Ichinomiya Soja Kokufu Ruins and Kokubunso Nunnery Temple Day 3: Nagahama Castle Ruins → Odari Castle Ruins → Odari Castle Sengoku Historical Museum → Ikagu Shrine → Lake Yogo → Tsuno Shrine → Mieio Shrine → Tanakaozuka Tumulus → Fujiju Shoin Ruins → Mizuo Shrine (Original) 式内社名神大社。 前年、北陸観光の丸岡城見学の折、継体天皇御母振姫ゆかりの高向神社に伺い、今回、滋賀歴史観光を計画するにあたって、その配偶者であり、継体天皇御父にあたる彦主人王墓が安曇川にあるとのことで訪れることに。 彦主人王墓（田中王塚古墳・安曇陵墓参考地）と併せて、彦主人王・振姫を祀る三重生神社と当社を参拝する。 振姫の出自が、水尾神社祭神を祖神とする三尾君・三尾氏とのことのようで、高島山（三尾山含む）の麓、和田内川（水尾川）一帯が三尾氏の本拠だったのだろうか。 彦主人王の本拠はどこだったのか分からないが、「三尾の別業（別邸）」から美人だったという振姫に求婚したような。 三尾君というのは能登加賀近江に勢力があったようで、彦主人王亡きあと、未亡人となった振姫は幼き継体天皇とともに高向宮（高向神社）に身を寄せることに。 前日、訪れた福井県立若狭歴史博物館の展示内容どおり、能登加賀若狭近江は塩や海産物の流通ルートで、密接した文化圏にあったのだろう。 訪れた各所各点が繋がっていく楽しみ。 ♯20230807 ♯越前若狭近江伊賀伊勢一宮総社国府跡国分僧尼寺跡巡り 3日目：長浜城跡→小谷城跡→小谷城戦国歴史資料館→伊香具神社→余呉湖→津野神社→三重生神社→田中王塚古墳→藤樹書院跡→水尾神社

(Translated by Google) Mizuo Shrine (Miojinja/Miojinja). Haido, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. Two shrines listed in the Shikinai (Meishindai), formerly a prefectural shrine. Main deity: ・Iwatsukwake no Mikoto - Son of the 11th Emperor Suinin, described in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as the ancestor of the Mio clan (the Mio clan) and Hakui clan (the Hakui clan). Deity of Kawanishya (Southern main hall: current shrine). ・Himegami - Refers to Furuhime, mother of the 26th Emperor Keitai. Deity of Kawahokusha (Northern main hall), moved to Kawanishya in 1971 as a co-shrine, and later enshrined together with the other. Regarding the deities enshrined, there was once a theory that Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto (Kanan-sha) and Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto (Kahoku-sha), but since it is a shrine that enshrines the ancestors of Mio-no-Kimi, it is now designated as having two deities, Iwatsukiwake-no-Mikoto and Hime-no-Kami. According to the documents, The date of its founding is unknown, but the "Shinsho Kakuchokufu-sho" states "Mio-no-Kami, Jusannohe, Jingo-1, September 7th, talisman," so it seems that it was already a famous shrine in 765. The Engishiki Shinmei-cho lists two Mizuo-jinja shrines, and in the past, there were two shrines, Kawanishya and Kawahoku-sha, separated by the Wadauchi-gawa River (Mizunoo-gawa). The current location is where Kawanishya was located, but Kawahoku-sha collapsed in a typhoon in 1970, and now exists as a small shrine, Himemiya, next to the main shrine. According to the "Report on the Investigation of Shrines in the Shikinai-sha," the shrine's name marker seems to have been erected at the former site of Kawahoku-sha. Minoo Shrine once consisted of two shrines, Kounamisha (South Main Hall) and Kohokusha (North Main Hall), separated by the Minoo River, but now consists of only one, Kounamisha. According to the legend of the shrine, Iwatsukiwake came to this place, where Sarutahiko is enshrined, to learn about Amenori Shintoism from Sarutahiko. He then offered homage to Mio Daimyojin (Nagata Shrine in Nagata, Takashima City), where Sarutahiko is enshrined, every morning and evening, and this place came to be known as the "Place of Worship (later Haido)," and the site of his residence was known as the "Place of Worship." Iwatsukiwake died here, so his son, Iwakiwake no O, buried Iwatsukiwake no Mikoto on Mount Mio and founded the "Kounamisha (current shrine)" as a shrine to enshrine Iwatsukiwake no Mikoto. According to the shrine's legend, Emperor Ojin's eleventh son, Hayasawake no Omi, also came to live here to study Amenori Shinto, and his fourth-generation grandson, Hikonushihito, married Furihime, the fifth-generation grandson of Iwakiwake no Omi, as his wife. Furihime gave birth to three children at the same time, Amaatobe no Omi, Otoatobe no Omi, and Oatobe no Omi (referring to the 26th Emperor Keitai), in the worship hall of Mizuo Shrine. At the time of the birth, Hikonushihito built a temporary shrine and prayed for a safe delivery, and later, Amaatobe no Omi founded Mienari-jinja Shrine on the site of the temporary shrine to enshrine his parents, which marked the beginning of the "Kahoku Shrine." It is said that the shrine later came to enshrine only Hime no Kami (Furihime). This Kahokusha Shrine collapsed in 1971, and has since been moved to its current location at Kahokusha Shrine. (Original) 水尾神社（みおじんじゃ/みをじんじゃ）。滋賀県高島市拝戸。 式内社（名神大）二座、旧県社。 主祭神： ・磐衝別命 （いわつくわけのみこと）-　第11代垂仁天皇皇子で、『古事記』『日本書紀』では三尾君（三尾氏）・羽咋君（羽咋氏）の祖と記す。河南社（南本殿：現在社）の祭神。 ・比咩神 （ひめがみ）-　第26代継体天皇の母の振媛を指す。河北社（北本殿）の祭神で、昭和46年（1971年）に河南社に遷座して相殿となり、そののち合祀された。 祭神に関しては、かつて猿田彦命（河南社）・天鈿女命（河北社）の2柱とする説があったが、三尾君の祖神を祀る神社であるとして現在は磐衝別命・比咩神の2柱が祭神に定められている。 資料によると、 創祀年代は、不詳だが、『新抄格勅符抄』に、「三尾神　十三戸　神護元年九月七日符」とあり、765年にはすでに著名な神社として存在していたらしい。 延喜式神名帳に、水尾神社二座と記されており、昔は、和田打川（水尾川）を挟んで河南社と河北社の二社殿が存在していた。 現在地は、河南社のあった場所で、河北社は、昭和４５年の台風で倒壊し、現在、本殿の隣の小社・姫宮として存在している。 『式内社調査報告』によると、河北社の元地に、当社の社号標が立っているらしい。 水尾神社は、かつて水尾川を隔てた河南社（こうなみしゃ、南本殿）・河北社（こうほくしゃ、北本殿）の二社から成ったが、現在は河南社の一社から成る。 社伝では、磐衝別命は猿田彦命の天成神道を学ぶために猿田彦命を祀る当地に来住したという。そして、朝夕に猿田彦命を祀る三尾大明神（高島市永田の長田神社）を遙拝したのでこの地は「拝所（のち拝戸<はいど>）」と称され、その住居跡は「拝所御所」と称されたと伝える。磐衝別命は当地で亡くなったため、その子・磐城別王は磐衝別命を三尾山に埋葬し、磐衝別命を祀る社として「河南社（現在社）」を創建したという。 続いて社伝によると、応神天皇の第十一皇子・速総別王も天成神道を学ぶため当地に来住し、その4世孫である彦主人王は、磐城別王5世孫の振姫を妃に迎えた。そして振姫は水尾神社の拝殿を産所として、天迹部王（あまあとべ）・男迹部王（おとあとべ）・太迹部王（おおあとべ：第26代継体天皇を指す）の3子を同時に出産したという。その出産時、彦主人王は仮社を建てて安産を祈ったといい、のち天迹部王がその仮社跡に両親を祀る三重生大明神（みえなり-）を創建したのが「河北社」の始まりで、その後同社は比咩神（振姫）のみを祀るようになったと伝える。この河北社は昭和46年（1971年）に倒壊したため、現在は河南社（現在地）に遷座している。 とあります。

(Translated by Google) It was well kept and the garden was very nice. (Original) 綺麗にされてます 庭がとても良かったです

(Translated by Google) It is pronounced "mio". There is a tradition that it is the birthplace of the 26th Emperor Keitai. The Shikinai shrine has a connection to it, and it feels like it is carefully protected by the local people. The splendid garden on the slope of the mountain behind it dates back to the Heisei era, but it has become familiar. (Original) 「みお」と読みます。第26代の継体天皇の出生地との伝承があります。ゆかりのある式内社、地元の人々に大切に守られている感じがします。裏山の斜面にある立派な庭園は平成時代のものですが、馴染んでいます。

(Translated by Google) There was a relatively large shrine with a long approach path nestled in the middle of the trees, which was a little surprising. Unfortunately, there was no one there, and although there was a phone number written, I was afraid to call, so I ended up leaving without receiving a stamp. What a shame! The leaves were starting to turn autumn in the temple grounds. (Original) 木立の中に長い参道を持つわりと規模の大きい神社が鎮座ましましておられ､ちょっと意外なかんじでした｡ 残念ながら誰もおられず､電話番号は書いてあったのですがお呼びだてするのも憚られ､ご朱印はいただかずに帰って来てしまいました｡残念！ 境内は紅葉しかけてきていました｡

(Translated by Google) It sits majestically at the back of a long approach road, just a short distance from the main road. There is a kind priest. It's quiet and calming. (Original) 幹線道路から少し入った所から長い参道の奥に堂々たる構えで鎮座おわします。親切な宮司さんがいらっしゃいます。静かで心が安らぎます。

(Translated by Google) It's more impressive than I expected, and it feels clean and well-maintained. The autumn leaves were spectacular. (Original) 想像以上に立派できちんと手入れされていて清々しい感じ。 紅葉が見事でした。

(Translated by Google) The shrine is enshrined after passing through a long approach path surrounded by trees. The autumn leaves of the maple trees on both sides of the stairs in front of the shrine are worth seeing. I felt like I was entering a very quiet realm of God 🎵 (Original) 木々に囲まれた長い長い参道を抜けるとお社が鎮座してます。拝殿前ね階段の両脇の楓の紅葉🍁が見応えが有ります。とても静かな神の領域に入り込んで気がしました🎵

(Translated by Google) The autumn leaves were spectacular...it felt like a different world away from the hustle and bustle of COVID19... (Original) 紅葉が見事でした…COVID19の喧騒から離れた別世界の趣きがありました…

(Translated by Google) I happened to go there a few days after the Shichikawa Festival, so I received some hand-me-downs. This shrine is located at the foot of a mountain, but rather than being mystical, it is a shrine with a cheerful atmosphere rooted in the local area. (Original) たまたま七川祭りの数日後に行ったので、おさがりもいただきました。ここは山の麓にあるのですが、神秘的と言うよりは地元に根差した明るい雰囲気の神社です。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is beautiful during the autumn leaves. In the past, there were trees growing along the approach to the shrine (like the area where the first torii gate is located), but now it seems like a lot of the trees have been cut down and the shrine is quite bright. The shrine office is next to the head priest's house, and you can get the goshuin at his house, or you can either go there to get the goshuin, or there is a bookcase over the glass door of the shrine office, so you can open it and exchange it for the firstfruits fee. There is also a talisman. If you are coming by car, there are about 8 parking spaces in front of the stairs where the shrine building is located. (Original) 秋の紅葉の頃が美しい神社です。昔は参道沿いも樹木が生い茂り雰囲気があったのですが（一の鳥居のあるあたりのように）、今は随分と伐採されたようで結構明るい神社です。 御朱印は社務所の横が宮司さん宅になっていて、そちらに伺われるか、書置きが社務所のガラス戸越にあるので、そちらを開けて初穂料と交換するかのようです。御守りもあります。 車の場合8台程度の駐車スペースが社殿などのある階段手前にあります。

(Translated by Google) Former Kuchiki Jinya ruins. Today, the remains of a well, some stone walls, and a moat remain, but it is deserted. The most noticeable thing is an old folk house that was relocated for some reason. The museum that once existed is now closed. The Kuchiki clan is part of the Sasaki clan, which was the shugo of Omi, and had ruled Kuchiki-so since the Kamakura period. This area once held an important position on the main road connecting Wakasa and Kyoto. The Kuchiki clan skillfully fought against Nobunaga during the Sengoku period. He also participated in the Battle of Sekigahara, and like Hideaki Kobayakawa, he survived by betraying the Western army and joining the Eastern army. Although he was not a daimyo during the Edo period, he had a koku high of just over 9,000 koku as a katai yoriai. The Shimazu clan of Satsuma is probably the only other clan that consistently ruled the same area from Kamakura to the Meiji Restoration. (Original) かつての朽木陣屋跡。今は井戸の跡、一部石垣、堀跡などが残っているが閑散としている。一番目立つのはなぜか移築された古民家。 かつてあった資料館も現在は閉鎖されている。 朽木氏は近江守護だった佐々木氏の一族で鎌倉時代からこの朽木荘を治めていた。かつてこの地は若狭と京都を結ぶ主要街道で重要な位置を占めていた。 朽木氏は戦国時代には信長に付くなど巧みに立ち回った。関ケ原の戦いにも参戦し小早川秀秋と同じく西軍を裏切り東軍に加勢することで生きながらえた。 江戸時代は大名ではなかったが交代寄合として9千石強の石高だった。 鎌倉から明治維新まで一貫して同じ地を治めたのは他には薩摩の島津氏くらいではないだろうか。

(Translated by Google) Remains of earthworks, moats, wells, stone walls, etc. can be seen. The area is wide, and the current ground is also the remains of a jinya. The museum is closed. Information board and parking lot available. (The following is quoted from the local information board) Shiga Prefecture designated historic site The Kuchiki Jinya ruins are located in Nojiri, where the main stream of the Azumigawa River and the tributary Kitakawa converge. This area faces Kuchiki Kaido, which connects Wakasa, Echizen, and other areas with Kyoto, and is an important transportation hub from a military, political, and economic perspective. The Kuchiki clan is an offshoot of the Sasaki clan, and was first appointed as the head of the land in Kuchiki-sho after the Jokyu War (12), and since Mototsuna Kuchiki, who had distinguished himself in the Battle of Sekigahara and the Osaka Siege, he has been in the position of junior. He occupied this area as a daimyo and ushered in the Meiji Restoration. Today, the remains that mark the site of the Jinya include the remains of an earthwork, a well, a stone wall, and a moat, but at the time, it appears that there were a palace, a samurai hall, a swordsmanship dojo, a horse paddock, and a warehouse on the site. Excavation surveys conducted in 1982 discovered traces of buildings from the Edo period in the upper layer, and layers containing relics from the Muromachi period in the lower layer. Based on these research results, it can be assumed that the Kuchiki clan's residence was established in the Middle Ages, and that it changed to a Jinya in the Edo period. (Original) 土塁、堀跡、井戸、石垣等の遺構が見られる。範囲は広く、現グランドも陣屋跡。 資料館は閉館している。 説明板、駐車場あり。 （以下、現地説明板より引用） 滋賀県指定史跡 安曇川本流と支流の北川が合流する野尻に朽木陣屋跡は所在する。 この地は若狭や越前などと京都とを結ぶ朽木街道に面し、軍事的・政治的・経済的に重要な交通の要衝でもある。 朽木氏は佐々木氏の庶流で、承久の乱(十二) 後、朽木庄の地頭職に補任されたことにはじまり、関ヶ原の戦い、大坂の陣で戦功のあった朽木元綱以来、準大名格で当地を領有し、明治維新をむかえた。 現在、陣屋跡を示す遺構は土塁跡、井戸跡と石垣、 堀跡などであるが、当時は敷地内に御殿、侍所、剣術道場、馬場、倉庫などが存在していたようである。昭和五十六・七年の発掘調査では上層から江戸時代の建 物跡を、下層からは室町時代の遺物包含層をそれぞれ 検出している。 これらの調査成果から、中世には朽木氏の館が設け られ、江戸時代に陣屋へと変遷をとげたと推定できる。

(Translated by Google) It's quite a ruin. No one would come and there was no budget. There's not a single person left. However, I appreciate that it is more like a park and has an information board. There is also a deserted old folk house. (Original) なかなかの廃墟です。 誰も来ないし、予算もないんだなぁと。 人っ子ひとりいないし。 ただ、公園的にはなっていて、説明板もあるのはありがたい。 うらさびれた古民家も佇んでいます。

(Translated by Google) The Shiga prefecture designated historic site is a large vacant lot😅 Morning 🌄 It was too early and the museum wasn't open, so I went up to Nishiyama Castle 🙋 So, the museum was closed~🤣 (Original) 滋賀県指定史跡は..広～い空き地😅 朝🌄早すぎて資料館が開いてなかったので西山城に登ってきまーす🙋 って、資料館は閉館してたのね～🤣

(Translated by Google) A castle built by the Kuchiki clan in the late Muromachi period, and the remains of a jinya that was used as an Edo-era katai yoriai. There is a well and an old folk house inside the Kanbokumon gate. The local history museum will close at the end of March 2020. (Original) 朽木氏の室町後期の城、江戸時代交代寄合としての陣屋の跡。 冠木門の中に井戸と古民家。郷土史料館は令和6年3月末で閉館。

(Translated by Google) Kuchiki Jinya Ruins is where Kuchiki Castle 🏯 was located. It was discovered by chance during a survey in 2000 to improve the road that passed in front of it, and the location of Kuchiki Castle has been determined. It is surrounded by an earthen embankment, and outside it is a pond, which has been discovered to be a moat. It is a natural fortress surrounded by the Kitagawa River on the west side and the main stream of the Azumigawa River on the south side. There are also Horikiri in the east and west. The lord of the castle is Mototsuna Kuchiki, one of the Seven Takashima clans of the Sasaki clan, and has a country of 9,500 koku, and although he is not a feudal lord, he is a servant of the Ashikaga Shogunate. This area was known as the Shogun district, and it is said that there was plenty of money from lumber and other sources. Locals say that in the past, a large cedar used to sell for 1 million yen, but now it costs 100,000 yen. At that time, 1 million yen was worth buying a luxury foreign car. It remained in the same location for 600 years from the Kamakura period to the Meiji Restoration. It is very rare for people to be in the same place due to a change of country, and it seems that only Mr. Shimazu and Mr. Kuchiki are in the same place. The locals believed that the location was located in a steep mountain called Kuchikidani, and in the winter there was a lot of snow, making it isolated, and that this may have been due to geographical factors. During the Edo period, a castle town was established outside Kitagawa. What makes it unique is the Kaimagari road. It seems that the name comes from the shape of a key used to open a storehouse, and the road curves at right angles, making it difficult for enemies to enter when they attack. There is also a standing trough and a water tower made of bricks to direct mountain water to two or three houses. The system is such that the water is poured into a water tower and then hosed down to several homes. Access: Take the Ewaka bus 🚌 from JR Kosei Line Azumigawa Station for 30 minutes and get off at Kuchiki Gakko-mae. (Original) 朽木陣屋跡は朽木城🏯があった場所です。平成12年の調査で、前を通る道を整備するため、たまたま発見され、朽木城の位置が特定されています。周りを土塁で囲まれて、その外には池があり、それが堀であると発見されています。西側は北川、南側は安曇川本流でかこまれた、自然の要塞になっています。東西には堀切ものこっています。城主は朽木元綱で、佐々木氏の嫡流の高島七頭の一つで国は9500石で大名ではないでが、足利幕府の奉公衆になっています。この辺りは杣地区になっていて、材木の収入などで資金は豊富にあったとされています。地元の人は、昔は大きな杉が一本100万でうれていましたが、今は10万円になっているそうです。当時の100万円は高級外車が買える価値があったそうです。鎌倉時代から明治維新まで600年間同じ場所にありました。国替えなどで同じ場所にいるのは、大変珍しく、島津氏と朽木氏しかないそうです。地元の人は、朽木谷という険しい山地にあり、冬場は孤立する程の雪などがふり、地理的な要因があったのでは、ないかといわれていました。江戸時代には、北川の外に、城下町が整備されています。特徴的なのは、鍵曲（かいまがり）の道路があります。蔵を開ける鍵の形からきているそうで、直角に曲がっている道の形態があり、敵が攻めて来たときに、容易に入り込めない構造になってます。また立樋（たつどい）があり、山の水を2、3件の家に流すように煉瓦でできた、分水塔があります。分水塔に山水をいれてから、何件かの家に、ホースで流す仕組みになってます。アクセスはJR湖西線安曇川駅から江若バス🚌で30分朽木学校前下車し、直ぐです。

(Translated by Google) I visited because it was the site of a jinya, but it was impossible for the museum to be closed on a Saturday, a holiday after the state of emergency was declared. Moreover, the footing was muddy and unprepared because it was full of fallen leaves, and even though it was a sunny day, my shoes were soaked. As you can see from reading the guide, it is a miracle that this place still exists. (Original) 陣屋跡との事で訪問したが、緊急事態宣言が開けての連休土曜日に資料館が休館ってありえない。 しかも落ち葉だらけで足元が整備されておらずぬかるんでおり、晴天だと言うのに靴がびしょ濡れになった。 案内を読んでもわかるように、この場所が残っている事が奇跡なのだろう。

(Translated by Google) There was another name for Namazu Shrine. Cute catfish, big catfish. We recommend visiting at least once. (Original) なまず神社の別称がありました。かわいいなまず、大きななまず。一度は訪れる事を推奨します。

(Translated by Google) Warazono Shrine has a long history and may be a Shikinai shrine, but it seems unclear. It's a very fine shrine. (Original) 藁園神社は歴史が古く式内社の可能性もあるみたいですが、はっきりしないようです。 とても立派な神社です。

(Translated by Google) The enshrined deity is Susano-sama. It was originally called Gion Gozusha. There is a festival dedicated to catfish, based on the legend that catfish wiped out pests in the rice fields. Inside the shrine grounds, there is a stone statue of a catfish as well as an explanation, which is quite unique. (Original) 御祭神はスサノオさま。もとは祇園牛頭社という。 田の害虫を鯰が一掃したという伝説から、鯰を祭るお祭りがある。境内には説明とともに、鯰の石像もあり、なかなかユニーク。

(Translated by Google) A shrine I stopped at when I was walking around the village of spring water. There was a large stone catfish statue in the temple grounds. It seems that there is a festival called "Catfish Festival" every May. In the past, there were heavy rains and floods that were accompanied by earthquakes, and when the priest exterminated the large worms that appeared at that time, the rain stopped, and when the large worms were enshrined underground, the earthquake subsided. (Original) 湧水の里を訪ね歩いた時に立ち寄った神社。 境内には大きなナマズの石像がありました。 毎年5月には「なまずまつり」というお祭りがあるそうです。 昔、地震をともなう大雨と洪水があり、この時にあらわれた大なまずを神主が退治したところ雨はやみ、その大なまずを地中に祀ったところ地震もおさまったそうです。

(Translated by Google) I received a written stamp. (Original) 書き置きの御朱印頂きました。

(Translated by Google) The goshuin was unusual and cute. There is also a large stone catfish statue. (Original) 珍しい御朱印で可愛かったです。 大きなナマズの石像もあります。

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 9, 2019 I received a goshuin (written stamp) at the shrine office. (Original) 令和元年11月9日参拝 社務所にて御朱印(書置き)拝受しました。

(Translated by Google) Only one group per day can stay in the house next door. (Original) 一日一組限定で、隣の家に宿泊できます。

(Translated by Google) It's a good atmosphere. I will enter next time. (Original) 良い雰囲気です。次回は入館します。

(Translated by Google) Many people use the tennis courts, so Many cars are parked The parking lot is very large It's never full. The largest complex of play equipment There are 4 slides Satisfied and enjoyable for everyone from infants to elementary school students In the summer, you can also play in the shallow pond. There is a lawn open space and a ground. You can also play ball, play Frisbee, and fly kites. The ground is the size of two baseball fields. There is enough distance for a walk. It's a fun place to spend time with your kids There are two outside toilets There is no bed to change diapers or a nursing room. To the office building or private car I have to go back This is a minus point. Because the site is vast I can play with my children without being in close contact with them. A covered rest area Because it is near the complex playground equipment You can take a break while watching the kids It's a place I'm very grateful for. (Original) テニスコート利用者も多くいるので 車が多く停まってますが 駐車場がとても広いので 満車になることはないです。 複合遊具は最大規模で 滑り台は4つあり 幼児から小学生まで満足して楽しめ 夏になれば浅い池で水遊びも出来ます。 芝生広場やグランドがあるので ボール遊び、フリスビー、凧揚げも出来ます。 グランドは野球場の2つ分の広さなので 散歩するには十分な距離があります。 子供と楽しく過ごせる場所ですが 2ヶ所ある外トイレには オムツを変えるベッドや授乳室がないので 事務所がある建物か自家用車まで 戻らないといけないのが マイナスポイントです。 敷地が広大なので 密にならずに子供と遊べるし 屋根付きの休憩スペースが 複合遊具近くにあるので 子供を見ながら休憩できるので とてもありがたい場所です。

(Translated by Google) Parking is free and there is plenty of play equipment. The lawn was well maintained and beautiful! There was also a smoking area. It was a great place as there were vending machines, tennis courts, and a baseball field! (Original) 駐車場無料で、遊具も充実しています。芝生も手入れされていて、綺麗でした！喫煙所もありました。自販機、テニスコート、野球場もあるので良い所でした！

(Translated by Google) It's a large and beautiful park. On the way back from going to the roadside station, I went there to take my dogs for a walk. It was nice to be able to walk on the grass, but it's still hot so it might be a good idea to go when it's cooler. (Original) 広くて綺麗な公園です。 道の駅に行った帰りに～犬たちのお散歩の為に行きました。 芝生を歩かせる事が出来て良かったですが～まだ暑い時期なのでもっと涼しくなってから行くといいかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) It was quite fun! Adults enjoyed it too! ! There is a parking lot and a smoking area! ! ! I'm going for a walk again! (Original) かなりたのしかったです！ 大人も楽しめました！！ 駐車場、喫煙所ありです！！！ またお散歩しに行きます！

(Translated by Google) You can play badminton or ball on the spacious lawn or field. Although the play equipment is old, it is not too expensive and even small children can play safely if their parents are present. The slide is moderately long, so even children can slide on it by themselves. There is also a small sandbox. I enjoyed it until I was in the lower grades of elementary school. There was only one toilet, and it was outside. It's lukewarm, but there's a drinking fountain. There was a large ground in the back where a soccer game was being played, but because there was a difference in height, there were no balls flying at us, so we could play safely on the playground equipment. Parking is free! (Original) 広々とした芝生?野原?ではバドミントンやボール遊びができます。 遊具は古いですが高すぎず小さなお子さんでも親がいれば安全に遊べます。滑り台はほどほどに長めなのでこどもだけでも滑れます。小さな砂場もあります。 小学生低学年ぐらいまでなら楽しめていました。 トイレは１ヶ所で、外だけでした。 ぬるいですが、水飲み場もあります。 奥には大きなグランドがあり、サッカーの試合をされていましたが高低差があるのでボールが飛んでくることもなく遊具で安全に遊べました。 駐車場代は無料です!

(Translated by Google) There is a ground and play equipment. Great for letting kids play. There is no parking fee either. (Original) グラウンドあり、遊具あり。子供を遊ばせるには最高です。駐車料金もかかりません。

(Translated by Google) You can take a lunch break from work or take a rest in the parking lot. Of course, you can also enjoy playing tennis etc. using the facilities. It's in the countryside, so it's especially nice on days when the weather is nice. (Original) お昼の仕事休憩とか、駐車場で休めます。もちろん施設を利用してテニス等も楽しめます。田舎なので、天気がいい日は特に気持ちが良いですね。

(Translated by Google) Travel by car from Hirakata City. It takes about an hour and a half to get there using the Nishiotsu BP. Got in around 10:30am on a Sunday. The parking lot was empty, with only one car parked there, which appeared to be that of a staff member. I was the only person in the building, so I completed my registration and went inside. Admission is free. At the entrance, we received a tourist map of Takashima City. In addition, there were other tourist maps and pamphlets in the building with detailed information on each region, so I received these as well. This museum is located at the southern end of Takashima City and introduces the history of Takashima City in detail, so even if you are not very interested in history, I think it is a perfect facility to visit and research in order to get an idea of ​​the tourist spots. I did. The purpose of this trip was to visit Takashima City, the birthplace of Emperor Keitai, who ascended the throne at Kuzuha Palace, which is said to have been located in Hirakata City, where his home is located. Although it has nothing to do with the Emperor, we were touring the ruins of Omizo Castle, one of the parts of Oda Nobunaga's Lake Biwa network, so I was glad to see these two detailed exhibits. (Original) 枚方市から車で移動。西大津BPを利用して1時間半程度で到着。日曜日の午前10時30分頃に入場。駐車場は職員の方の車と思われる1台のみが停まっているだけで、ガラガラでした。館内も自分１人だけで、記帳を済まし中に入ります。入場は無料。入り口で、高島市の観光マップをいただきました。また、他にも地域ごとに詳しくまとめた観光マップやパンフレットが館内に置かれていたので、こちらもいただきました。高島市の南端にある資料館で、高島市の歴史を詳しく紹介していますので、歴史にあまり関心がない方でも観光スポットを把握するためにも、まずは訪れてリサーチのためもってこいの 施設だと思いました。今回の目的は、自宅のある枚方市内にあったと云われる樟葉宮で即位した継体天皇の生誕地が高島市というこで、父親の古墳や史跡を巡ることと、時代は古代から大き下り継体天皇とも関係はないですが、織田信長の琵琶湖ネットワークを構成する一つの大溝城の跡地を見学することでしたので、この２つの詳しい展示物があったのは嬉しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Kamigoten ruins, a place related to Emperor Keitai. Since the latter half of the middle Jomon period (4000 years ago), artifacts from each era have been unearthed successively.

(Translated by Google) You can see explanations of ancient tombs in the Takashima area and exhibits of excavated items for free. There is Inariyama Tumulus nearby, where you can see an actual sarcophagus. This time there was also an exhibition of hina dolls from the Edo period, which was nice. (Original) 高島地区にある古墳の説明や出土品の展示を無料で見学できます。近くに稲荷山古墳があり、実物の石棺をみることが出来ます。 今回は江戸時代の雛人形の展示もあり、良かったです。

(Translated by Google) This is a museum that collects many ruins from the Kosai area of ​​Lake Biwa. This area is the birthplace of the mysterious Emperor Keitai, and there are many ancient tombs nearby, as well as a mound called Ena-zuka, where the emperor's umbilical cord is enshrined. (Original) 琵琶湖の湖西地区の遺跡を多く集めた資料館です。この地区は謎の多い継体天皇の出生地で近くには多くの古墳やえな塚と呼ばれる天皇のへその緒を祀った塚もあります。

(Translated by Google) Although the Takashima History and Folklore Museum is small, it is a good museum to learn about Emperor Keitai. However, normally I would have been able to hear a detailed explanation, but unfortunately, due to the measures taken against the new virus, it is difficult to do so. So let's absorb it ourselves. (Original) 高島歴史民俗博物館は小さいながらも継体天皇を知るには良い資料館である。が、普段だったら詳しい説明が聞けるのだろうが残念ながら新型ウイルスの対策で対応は困難である。よって自分でしっかり吸収しよう。

(Translated by Google) There are many exhibits related to the Keitai Emperor lineage. They also prepared a lot of detailed free leaflets, which I was very grateful to be able to read over and over again when I got home. The staff were also very kind and answered my questions thoroughly. It's hard to believe that admission is free. If you are planning to visit the ruins and shrines in Takashima City, we recommend that you go here first. (Original) 継体天皇系の展示が充実しています。無料リーフレットも細かくたくさん用意して下さっていて、帰宅後にゆっくり読み返したり出来るのがとても有り難かったです。職員の方も、私の質問に丁寧にご対応下さり、とても親切でした。 入館無料とは思えないぐらいです。 高島市の遺跡や神社巡りをされるご予定なら、一番先にこちらに行かれる事をおすすめ致します。

(Translated by Google) At the museum here, you can learn about things related to Emperor Keitai. In addition, those interested in ancient history will be impressed by the nearby Tanaka Shrine, Azumi Mausoleum, Stone of Ancient Japanese Characters, and Inariyama Tumulus.

(Translated by Google) Wow, I had no idea 🥲 I never expected such a great place to exist 🙂 I stayed in Ritto for two days, and both days I visited early in the morning 😯 On the first day, I went to enjoy the autumn leaves, and on the second day, I went to visit the 88 temples of Shikoku 😮 In the temple grounds, there are gravestones with the names of the temples on the pilgrimage, lined up from number one to number 88 😀 On top of that, there is a stone statue of the principal image, and the name of the principal image is also engraved on it 😯 On the second day, I prayed at each temple, starting from number one 😀 I felt refreshed 🤗 As someone who does not have the time or money to visit the 88 temples of Shikoku, I was able to visit the temples well 😀 (Original) いやぁ、知らなかったなぁ🥲こんなに良い場所があるなんて、全然予想もしていなかったなぁ🙂栗東市には、２日間滞在したんだけど、２日とも早朝にお参りしちゃったよ😯１日目は、紅葉を楽しむため、２日目は、四国霊場八十八ヶ所巡りをするために😮なんと、境内には八十八ヶ所巡りの寺名を刻んだ墓碑が、一番から八十八番まで、並んでいるんだよ😀その上、御本尊様の石像も立っているし、御本尊名も刻まれているんだよねぇ😯２日目は、一番から順に、手を合わせてきたんだよ😀気持ちも、すっきりしちゃったなぁ🤗四国霊場八十八ヶ所巡りをする時間的にも金銭的にも余裕のない小生としては、良いお参りができたなぁ😀

(Translated by Google) The friendly guidance of the head priest is a pleasant experience for travelers. The garden has been designated by the prefecture and can be viewed for 300 yen. It does not appear to be one of the temples listed as sacred places, but you can visit 88 different temples by touring the grounds, and you can receive a red seal. (Original) 気さくなご住職の案内が旅する者に心地良い。 庭園が県の指定を受けており300円で拝観できる。 札所や霊場には参加していないようだが､境内を巡ると88箇所めぐりができるようになっており、ご朱印は、ある。

(Translated by Google) It is a quiet temple along the mountain. You can visit the main hall for free, but since I was there, I visited the temple office and viewed the hall and garden. (The admission fee is 300 yen.) There are many maples in the temple grounds, so I think it would be beautiful in late autumn. (Original) 山沿いの静かなお寺です。 本堂だけなら無料で拝観出来ますが、せっかくなので寺務所を訪ね堂内と庭園を拝観させて頂きました。（拝観料は300円） 境内にはモミジが多く晩秋もきれいだと思います。

(Translated by Google) It is a temple with a very nice atmosphere and is well kept. There were surprisingly many stone Buddha statues and many different types of trees. The flowers that were taken care of were very beautiful and blooming uniquely. I definitely want to go in the fall (Original) お掃除が綺麗に行き届いたとてもいい雰囲気のお寺です。石仏が意外に多く、木々もたくさんの種類がありました。お手入れがされた花々はとても美しくそして個性的に咲いてました。秋には絶対行こうと思います
