WELCOME TO Shiga
Shiga Prefecture, nestled in Japan’s Kansai region, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and outdoor adventures. It is home to Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake, offering stunning scenery, boating, and fishing. Shiga’s historical significance is anchored by Hikone Castle, one of the country’s few remaining original castles, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into Japan’s feudal past.
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking trails in the Hira and Ibuki mountains, which provide spectacular seasonal landscapes. The region is also rich in cultural experiences, such as the traditional town of Omihachiman, known for its well-preserved Edo-period architecture and scenic canals.
Shiga’s culinary delights include Omi beef, a wagyu variety renowned for its marbling and tenderness, and funazushi, an ancient form of fermented sushi. Art and history lovers will appreciate the Miho Museum, with its impressive collection of Asian and Western art set in a breathtaking architectural marvel designed by I. M. Pei.
With its blend of natural splendor, historical landmarks, and cultural richness, Shiga Prefecture offers a captivating experience for travelers seeking an authentic Japanese adventure.
