About this spot

This museum is connected to the Lake Biwa Rowing Song (琵琶湖周航の歌), a song about touring Lake Biwa that is still sung today. Since Imazu Beach appears in one verse of the song, this historic building, built in Imazu, introduces the story behind the song's creation and the connection between Lake Biwa and Imazu. The compact interior is a size you can browse at a relaxed pace, making it a perfect start to a day exploring the history of Imazu, a lakeside town.

Tips

Within walking distance of JR Omi-Imazu Station. It is good manners to view the exhibits quietly inside. It is reassuring to check opening hours and closed days in advance. You can walk to the next stop, Imazu Beach.
