Yonehara: Scenic Drive on Ibuki Mountain and the Clear Streams of Samegai-shuku
Head to Ibuki Mountain, Shiga Prefecture's highest peak, and ascend to above the clouds via the mountain driveway. After enjoying the grand panorama from the summit parking lot, visit Mishima Pond with its mirror image of Ibuki Mountain, and the English-style garden of Rosenberg Tawada. In the afternoon, move to Samegai, a post town on the Nakasendo Trail, touch history at the museum, and conclude with a refreshing walk along the clear Jizo River where water buttercups sway. This Yonehara nature-filled course, centered on driving with modest walking distances, is perfect for three generations to enjoy leisurely.
