Discover the Story of a Song Connected to Imazu and Feel the History of This Lakeside Town

About this spot

This is a museum dedicated to the Lake Biwa Circumnavigation Song, a song about Lake Biwa that continues to be sung to this day. Because a verse of this song mentions Imazu Beach, this historic building in Imazu introduces the story of how the song was born and the connection between Lake Biwa and Imazu. The compact museum is sized for you to leisurely explore, making it a perfect start to your day discovering the history of the lakeside town of Imazu.

2026年8月1日(土)19時開催、今津の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。琵琶湖のほとりに位置する会場から、夜空に花火が1時間にわたって打ち上がります。湖を渡る夜風とともに花火を見上げる時間は、琵琶湖畔の町ならではの心地よさ。地域みんなで作り上げる手づくりの夏祭りらしい、あたたかな雰囲気の中でのフィナーレです。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。終了直後は周辺道路や駅周辺が混雑するため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗い箇所もあるのでスマホのライトで安全に。
