Activity

Enjoy the pairing of Narezushi and sake at a stylishly renovated machiya café

You can enjoy it at a stylish café renovated from a machiya (wooden townhouse) with a history of about 100 years

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.

A valuable experience that delves into the origins of sushi

Shiga Prefecture is said to be the birthplace of Narezushi, which is considered to be the origin of sushi in Japan. As it is a fermented food, you can experience a complex taste with sourness similar to pickled plums and vinegar-soaked kelp.

Pairing with local sake selected by Tomita Shuzo, which has a 450-year history

Enjoy the pairing of the legendary sake Shichihonyari, which has been cherished in Nagahama City for generations. The sake is carefully selected by the brewery itself.
