The autumn scenery here is so pleasant. Being up in the mountains really makes you feel far away from the everyday world.

Shirahige Shrine
Standing in the northwestern part of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, this is the oldest Shinto shrine in Omi, which is said to be over 2,000 years old. The vermilion-lacquered Otorii gate stands in the middle of the lake across Route 161, reminiscent of the Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, and is called the "Itsukushima of Omi”.
The torii gate standing in the lake is definitely one of the most beautiful sights at Lake Biwa.

Shinsaibashi
Along with Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi is one of the main entertainment districts in Osaka's Minami area. It encompasses three areas: Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street, Nishi-Shinsaibashi, and Higashi-Shinsaibashi. The main gateways are Shinsaibashi Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji and Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Lines and Yotsubashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line. Namba is also within walking distance, making the area a convenient base for sightseeing in Osaka, with plenty of accommodations available.
Right from the entrance, you see crowds of people—it's super lively!

Hakone Sekisyo
After Ieyasu Tokugawa entered the Kanto region and established the Edo shogunate, the importance of the Tokaido highway connecting Edo and Kyoto increased, and it was necessary to strictly control the entry and exit of people to maintain the security of Edo.
The Edo period historical scene is really well restored here.
