Located in southern Shiga, Ritto City is known as the "City of Horses" due to hosting one of Japan's largest racehorse training centers. Historically, it is a quiet area embraced by the deep mountains of the Konze range, offering ancient temples with National Treasure Buddha statues and extensive hiking courses with dynamic rocky areas. Walking through the nature-rich environment, you can feel the history of Japan's mountain worship, with the summit offering a superb view extending to Lake Biwa. It is chosen by travelers wanting to escape the city hustle and enjoy Shiga's rich nature and history through horse interaction and mountain walking.
