Rest at Toyokouen Park by Lake Biwa while admiring the castle keep

About this spot

A history museum reconstructed in the image of Nagahama Castle associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with its castle keep overlooking Lake Biwa creating a photogenic spot combined with the lake scenery. Inside the museum, exhibits allow visitors to easily learn about Nagahama's history, and from the observation floor on the top floor, you can view both Lake Biwa and Mount Ibuki. The surrounding area is developed as Toyokouen Park with a grassy plaza and many benches, so after viewing the museum, you can spend a leisurely time while overlooking the lake. Spreading out a packed lunch in the park before the pool is also recommended.
