The Hira Mountains, where mountains at an altitude of 1000m are connected 12km north and south, Mt. Ibuki, the highest peak in Shiga Prefecture, and waterfowl flapping on the lake surface. Lake Biwa’s “Yukimi Boat Cruise” will operate from January 29, 2022, where you can meet beautiful scenery that will heal your heart.
The Yukimi Boat Cruise is the only course that runs north-south on Lake Biwa in winter, connecting Otsu Port and Nagahama Port in about two and a half hours.
From Nagahama Port, “Nagahama Bonsai Exhibition”, which is said to be the best in Japan in terms of history and scale, and “Kurokabe Square” where shops such as glass shops, restaurants and cafes are scattered in a corner of the old townscape along the Hokkoku Highway. You can visit on foot. We also recommend a trip to Shiga that combines a Yukimi boat (one way) and sightseeing in Nagahama.
If you make a reservation in advance, we will also call at Nionohama Kanko Port and Ogoto Onsen Port. You can choose a convenient port for sightseeing around your accommodation, Hamaotsu (Miidera), Sakamoto (Saikyoji / Hiyoshi Taisha), so why not incorporate “Yukimi Ship” into your travel plan?
