Nagahama Takashima Cruise and Kōhoku Power Spots
A couple's power spot pilgrimage: cruise from Nagahama Port to Takashima Island, known as the island where the gods dwell, floating in Lake Biwa. Climb the 165 stone steps of prayer at Hogonji Temple and try the kawara-wara tile-tossing challenge at the Dragon God Worship Platform of Tukuhufusuma Shrine. Return to port and enjoy views of Nagahama Castle and Lake Biwa at Toyohira Park, then conclude with a retro travel feel at Nagahama Railway Square in the restored old Nagahama Station building. Experience two spectacular lakeside views in a single day on this Kōhoku journey.
