A Day in the Countryside
Walking around the area
The northern Lake Biwa area is rich in local charm — with old streets, small shrines, and family-run eateries scattered around the village.
A short trip will take you to beautiful spots that change their scenery with the seasons, such as the shores of Lake Biwa, the Sangonsui Spring Forest, and the Metasequoia Tree Avenue.
Every short journey from here becomes a quiet memory to take home.
Nature
This land is embraced by the beauty of nature throughout the four seasons.
Nearby satoyama hills, clear streams, and the shores of Lake Biwa invite you to experience the rhythm of the seasons — by walking, cycling, or simply breathing in the countryside air.
In spring, cherry blossoms bloom; in summer, the greens shimmer; autumn brings brilliant colors, and winter reveals a quiet sky full of stars.
Let the stillness of nature gently restore your body and mind.
In a small village surrounded by rice fields and mountains north of Lake Biwa lies Kuranoyado Kakurekura.
Here, time flows gently in tune with the rhythm of nature.
Wake to the sound of birds and soft morning light, spend the day feeling the breeze through swaying rice fields and whispering trees,
and as evening falls, gather around the fire beneath a sky full of stars.
These quiet, unhurried moments make your stay here truly special.
Embrace the beauty of doing nothing — and enjoy a Japanese countryside lifestyle, a peaceful way of living embraced by the nature of Lake Biwa.
