About
Your journey begins at the Battle of Shizugatake, a pivotal Sengoku-era site. After a scenic lift and short hike, enjoy sweeping views of Lake Biwa from the summit where warlords once clashed.
At the mountain’s base, explore a timeless village where devotion to Kannon has been preserved for over a millennium. Here, spiritual traditions remain deeply woven into local life.
For lunch, visit historic Kinomoto to savor regional fermentation-based cuisine (vegan or vegetarian options available). Nearby, discover the 460-year-old Tomita Brewery, which holds deep ties to Shizugatake’s warriors and Mt. Ibuki’s pure waters.
Finally, visit a blacksmith village famous for legendary Kusano-yari spear...
