Takashima: Shirahige Shrine and Lake Western Lakeside Drive
Setting out from Shirahige Shrine, famous for its vermillion torii gate floating on Lake Biwa, this lakeside scenic drive passes through the western shore. Combining a lakeside walk at Otomegatike, local cuisine at a roadside station, and the beloved playground of Biwako Children's Land, this route strings together family-friendly spots along the lakeside. The day concludes at a Western-style building with Vories architecture in Imazu, where you can touch the town's charming retro history—the perfect one-day western Biwa lakeside course for families who love scenic drives.
