Also, Okinoshima's haul of fish is one of the biggest among the fishing ports of Biwa Lake. You can get up to the top via the ropeway. You have a full view of the old city and the surrounding country from the top, as well as the west side of Biwa Lake. This is located at the top of Hachiman Mountain. The Murakumo Gosho Zuiryuji Temple, which was built in Kyoto by Hidetsugu's mother and dedicated to Hidetsugu, was moved to this place in 1962.
Many people visit here in autumn when the leaves change colors.
This moat, built by Hidetsugu, played a major role in the development of the Omi merchants and the growth of the town. It prospered as much as Otsu at the end of the Edo period. There are many Omi merchant's houses built during the end of the Edo period and the beginning of Meiji era. This place is considered to be the hometown of Omi merchants. The Sagicho and Hachiman Festivals are held in this place.
