Moriyama City is an alluvial plain that was created by sand and soil carried by the Yasu River, and long ago the underground water that bubbled up from almost everywhere was effectively used in both agriculture and everyday life.

Yanmar Marina is one of the few marinas found on the eastern bank of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan.

From July through August sees a veritable carpet of over 10,000 sunflowers in bloom.

From January to February you can see 12,000 early blossoming “Kanzaki Hanana” rape flowers.
