Shiga
Travel guide to Shiga Prefecture, centered around Lake Biwa — Japan's largest lake. Visit Hikone Castle, the UNESCO-listed Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, Omihachiman's waterway cruises, and Shirahige Shrine's floating torii gate. The Metasequoia Tree-Lined Road is a top photo spot in autumn. Savor Omi beef (one of Japan's three great wagyu brands), funazushi fermented fish, and Omi champon noodles.
