Renewed and reopened in 2020, Biwako Hakodate Mountain offers seasonal flowers in summer and skiing in the silvery white world of winter. You can take an 8-minute gondola ride while enjoying the scenery of Lake Biwa. Once you reach the top of the mountain, which is about 630 meters above sea level, you will feel a sense of freedom.

In the Green Season, there are some photogenic spots such aRs the “Furin no Yoshi Komichi” (Pathway of Wind Chimes and Reed) and the Rainbow Curtain, where you can stroll through fields of seasonal flowers such as petunias, kochia, and sunflowers. The views from the park's viewpoints are sure to soothe your soul. There are also cafes and restaurants, including LAMP, which specializes in parfaits, where you can relax and enjoy yourself.

    很多人都帶著寵物狗狗上到這裡，有很廣闊的草原可以讓寵物自由的活動。

    無論春夏秋季節都有不同的花卉盛開，掃帚草、百合花一次看個夠。

  • 陳曉雯

    冬天滑雪場的環境水平太低，初學者來還可以。

  • Hea Jin

    夏天上來氣溫涼爽很舒服，空氣也非常棒，然而夏日的花卉也努力綻放開得很漂亮。
