Located in northwestern Shiga, Takashima City is a treasure trove of natural experiences surrounded by the beautiful waters of Lake Biwa and majestic mountains. It is dotted with photogenic spots such as the mystical "Shirahige Shrine" with a torii gate standing in the lake, and the "Metasequoia Avenue" stretching for about 2.4 kilometers. Furthermore, Japan's original landscapes still breathe here, such as the long-standing fermentation culture and the lifestyle of "Shozu-no-Sato" (Home of Living Water) utilizing pure spring water. It is an area where you can luxuriously enjoy activities such as camping, canoeing, and skiing while appreciating the scenery of the four seasons.
