Shiga Day Trip: Art, Water Towns, Shrines, and Lake Views
Begin your journey at the Miho Museum (I.M. Pei's "Shangri-La"), traversing tunnels to discover an artistic sanctuary where light and shadow intertwine. In the afternoon, explore the Former Chikurin-in Temple, savoring tea and admiring the seasonal views of Mount Hiei from its borrowed-scenery garden. On days when the Former Chikurin-in Temple is closed, you will visit Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine on Mount Hiei, encountering spiritual monkey statues in this ancient shrine and offering prayers for peace of mind. As dusk approaches, head straight to Shirahige Shrine on Lake Biwa, where the torii gate on the lake frames a stunning sunset, perfect for capturing memorable photos!
