Activity

Enjoy the activity in a 200-year-old machiya

You will enjoy Chakabuki in a machiya, a traditional Japanese building over 200 years old.

Nagahama's Attraction (1): Port town on Lake Biwa

The largest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa, has long been known as a key trading hub and a treasure trove of natural blessings. You can also enjoy a cruise to the uninhabited island of Chikubu Island, a breathtaking spot selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Sunset Spots," within walking distance.

Nagahama's Attraction (2): Nostalgic castle town

Nagahama's value as a merchant city is underscored by its long-standing shops and well-preserved 200-year-old machiya houses. Its retro townscape sets it apart. Unlike the bustling crowds of Kyoto and Osaka, Nagahama provides a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing tourists to leisurely explore and enjoy sightseeing at their own pace.

Beginners are also welcome! Enjoy tasting 5 kinds of tea

The competitive Chakabuki can be quite challenging, but in this activity, we will also include hojicha (roasted green tea) and genmaicha (brown rice tea), which are easy for beginners to guess. Let's have fun comparing the teas and try to guess the correct answer!

Japanese sweets loved by locals, from a long-established Japanese confectionery

You can enjoy seasonal Japanese sweets from a long-established Japanese confectionery that is rarely visited by tourists, but is much loved by the locals.
