Overview

Canal town and mountain-top shrine view.

After exploring the Hachiman-bori canal below, the ropeway takes you to the summit of Mt. Hachiman. You can visit the Himuryo Hachiman Shrine and enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Biwa and the town's preserved merchant districts. It is a quiet, historical spot that feels like a slice of the Edo period along the shores of Lake Biwa.

Sunrise and sunset are the prime viewing times — check exact times and arrive 20 minutes early for the best position.
