Unasyo is a Japanese restaurant located at Omi-Imazu station. The restaurant has limited seating, you have to take off your shoes if you sit on Tatami room. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant.

Cheap Price High Quality Restaurant

Omi Imazu is not considered a tourist area now, it's not easy to find a restaurant. I found this restaurant located just opposite Omi-Imazu station, with high quality Japanese food. The restaurant is spacious, mainly local visitors and non-smoking. They served a wide variety of food, from soup udon to Japanese set dinner, sushi, sashimi etc. Restaurant: Nishian Opening hours: Thursday to Tuesday 11:30am-2:00pm, 5:00pm-9:30pm Price: 500-2000yen Location: Japan, 〒520-1622 Shiga, Takashima, Imazucho Nakanuma, 1 Chome−１−1 Getting there: 1 min walk from Omi-Imazu JR station #omiimazu #biwakovalley #osaka

The Only Hotel with Public Bath

Hotel Kaito is the only hotel at Omi-Imazu station with public bath. The hotel is quite old but clean and tidy. The room is spacious, but with limited amenities. They provide towels and soap. You have to buy the amenities you need at the reception, such as toothbrush, razor etc. Hotel breakfast is nice, traditional Japanese style breakfast. The hotel is near to Biwako Lake, about 10 minutes walking distance. If you are looking for some attractions away from the city, visit Biwako Lake.

Japan

Lake Biwa. Hello everyone, I am Xiaolu, today I am sharing Lake Biwa in Japan. Lake Biwa is located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. It is the largest freshwater lake in Japan, with an area of 674 square kilometers and a shoreline of 241 kilometers. It is named after the natural shape of the traditional Japanese musical instrument Biwa. This geographical location is in the central part of Japan, surrounded by beautiful mountains and lush forests. The lake presents a beautiful arc shape, covering a huge area, like a lake ocean. Lake Biwa is considered one of the oldest lakes in the world, formed at least 4 million years ago. About this lake, there are not only many ancient legends and stories, but also a large number of art works related to it. Lake Biwa is famous for its biodiversity and has many endemic species, from fish, birds, to rare mollusks. To get to Lake Biwa from Kyoto, just take the JR Tokaido Line from Kyoto to Otsu, and you can reach this beautiful lake in 10 minutes. Next, we will introduce the main attractions of Lake Biwa. Ukimido Ukimido is one of the main scenic spots of Lake Biwa. It is also known as one of the Eight Views of Omi and is loved by many haiku poets, including the famous Matsuo Basho. The formal name of the temple is 'Kaimon Mountain Mangetsu Temple', which was built by the monk Gen Shin (Eshin Sozu) of Hieizan during the late Heian period (794-1185) to pray for the safety of the lake water and the peace of all people. Since then, for over 1000 years, Ukimido has been guarding the safety of this important lake traffic area. Chikubushima Chikubushima is a small island located in the northern part of Lake Biwa, but it has been revered as a sacred island since ancient times. There are Hogyoji Temple and Tsusumafu Asama Shrine. Tsusumafu Asama Shrine is very popular as a place of power, and there is a mysterious atmosphere in the Dragon God's place of worship, where there is a unique way of making wishes 'Kawarake Nage'. The view of Lake Biwa from the boat makes you linger. Kaizu Osaki Kaizu Osaki extends to Lake Biwa, and cherry trees stretch for more than 4 kilometers. In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom in full bloom, and rows of cherry trees stand on the vast lakeside. Kaizu Osaki stands with more than 600 cherry trees with lush branches and leaves, most of which have a history of more than 50 years. Under the contrast of rocks and the green water of Lake Biwa, the beauty of cherry blossoms is intoxicating. Cherry trees bloom all the way along the lakeside avenue, making people feel like they are wandering in a cherry blossom tunnel. If you want to enjoy the cherry blossom scenery, why not leisurely row on Lake Biwa. From the lake, you can see the spectacular cherry blossom beauty of Kaizu Osaki. Biwa Lake Valley Biwa Lake Valley overlooks the west bank of Lake Biwa. Since 1965, it has been a ski resort and an outdoor activity paradise in the off-season. This is the best ski resort near Kyoto. Biwa Lake Valley is 1,100 meters above sea level and has eight different ski trails. Half-pipe, curved track, cat track and sled snow track, there is also a ski park suitable for skiers of all levels. All equipment can be rented at the ski resort. The Zekkei Ropeway cable car here can accommodate 121 people, with glass on all sides, you can see the beautiful views of Lake Biwa, snow slopes and autumn leaves. Travel

When I come to Japan, I should at least see the cherry blossoms. Even if I am alone, I have to go. Of course, with other partners, it was still unpleasant. Finally, everyone went together and arrived at the destination. It was really worth it. Haijin Osaki Sakura Avenue: Kyoto Station - JR Lake West Line - Makino Cranes (Special attention, trains may go back at any time, as long as you hear a bunch of Japanese broadcasts, the trainers exchange, you must get off If you want to transfer to the same station or go to other stations to transfer, remember your direction of the wilderness.) We have transferred in Zhihe, Omi, and Omi-jinjin. Pure Japanese broadcast, without any electronic screen, almost completely abandoned. Departing at 9:30 in the morning, we arrived only around 2:30. rushing all the way, finally arrived at the Makino crane - Haijin Osaki. When you are out of the station, be sure to rent a bicycle. It takes at least half an hour to walk, super far. The bicycle is 500 yen once, which is equivalent to 30 yuan a day. It can be said that I saw the cheapest transportation in Japan. Riding a bicycle, chasing cherry blossoms, feeling of youth, coming back.
