Mizunomori – Lake Biwa’s Coveted Lotus Peninsula And Aquatic Botanical Garden, Kusatsu, Japan
Finding a quiet retreat is no great feat in the Shiga prefecture. Everywhere you go, you’re bound to be finding yourself surrounded by the soaring hills and vast rice paddies. If you visit Kusatsu City, I strongly recommend the Mizunomori Water Botanical Garden and Lotus Pond. It lies on the southeast edge of Lake Biwa, on the Karasuma Peninsula. Lake Biwa is Japan’s largest freshwater lake and is one of the world’s twenty oldest lakes, nearly 4 million years old. Over time, an incredibly unique and diverse ecosystem has evolved in the lake.
Ryokans
6 Best Ryokans With Onsen Near Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan
Kusatsu, which is located in the prefecture of Shiga, is without a doubt one of the calmest and most peaceful spots in all of Japan. In point of truth, all that is lacking is a luxuriously extended soak in an onsen (hot spring bath). But while Kusatsu has hotel options for many kinds of travelers, there are no ryokans with onsen found in this area. Luckily, its neighboring city, Otsu, has many ryokans with onsen for you to choose from, so you can get that authentic Japanese experience many travelers search for. Check out one of the best ryokans with onsen near Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan!

Minshuku
5 Handpicked Minshuku Stays In Shiga, Japan
The Japanese prefecture of Shiga is known as the home of Lake Biwa, the country's largest freshwater lake. The prefecture is also known for its expansive natural parks, such as Biwako Quasi-National Park and Suzuka Quasi-National Park. The prefectural capital, Ōtsu, on the northwestern end of the lake, offers short and easy access to charming Kyoto. When in the region, you can witness the magnificent Hikone Castle and walk back in time at Hikone Castle Museum. To make the most of the lake, you can visit the canal town of Ōmihachiman, where you can also witness the gorgeous wooden temples of Himure Hachiman Shrine. During your exploration, you can also find a few minshukus that offer a traditional experience. For suitable stays, check out our list of the top minshuku stays in Shiga, Japan.
