The Hachiman Moat Tour allows you to take to the stunning Hachiman Moats in a Japanese-style boat.

Lanterns placed around the town and along the Hachiman Moat bring out a sense refinement and emotion.

This ropeway takes around four minutes to transport you from the base of the mountain to the top, from where you can enjoy a sweeping panorama that includes Lake Biwa, Lake Nishinoko and the old town below, all wreathed in the glory of the current season.

The Hachiman-bori Canal was a mainstay in regional economics and transportation until the start of the Showa period (1926 – 1989).

The “Ishitatami no Komichi” (Cobbled Lanes) is a commercial area that offers everything from shopping through to dining, preserving the historical scenery of Hachiman waterways while letting you experience what it must have been like to walk those streets in olden times.

At Lake Nishinoko you can experience the Water Channel Tour that feudal lord Nobunaga Oda and his court are said to have enjoyed so much.
