What to expect

Lake Biwa is the largest inland lake in Japan, with an area of 674 square kilometers, equivalent to one-sixth of the total area of Shiga Prefecture. With the lake as the center, Lake Yuwu, Mt. Ibuki, Mt. Hira, Mt. Hiei, etc. together form Lake Biwa Quasi-National Park. Among them, the "Eight Views of Omi River" are similar to the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang" of Dongting Lake in China.
