Omihachiman: Walking Tour of Hachiman Canal and Historic Streets
A romantic sightseeing course where couples can slowly walk along the Hachiman Canal, where white-walled storehouses and willow trees are reflected in the water. Pay your respects at Himure Hachimangu Shrine, explore the canal's scenic banks where yakatabune boats pass by, and experience traditional tile-craftsmanship at Kawara Museum. In the afternoon, visit the Former Nishikawa Family Residence—a stately mansion of a wealthy Omi merchant—and Hakuunkan, a Meiji-era Western-style building. In picturesque Omihachiman, where every corner is a perfect photo, this day is ideal for couples and married couples celebrating special occasions.
