I'll be visiting Makino in Takashima, Shiga, on September 1–2 and October 27–28.
I’ll have some time to myself, but only from around 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
I’d love recommendations for sightseeing, fishing on Lake Biwa, delicious food, or places to play golf. A driving range would be fine too.
Rather than the usual tourist spots, I’d love to hear about some wonderful hidden gems.
I’ll be on my own, so I’m feeling a little lonely, but I’ll be driving all the way from Osaka in my beloved car. I don’t know anyone in Shiga, you know (tears).
Please tell me, “This place is great!”
Thank you!
I’m in Seattle.
I’ve never been to Makino, but I searched around and thought about what I’d do.
If you have five hours, there are two places: Makino Shiratani Onsen Hachiojiso and Makino Kogen Onsen Sarasa. If you have four days, I’d visit both. I’d enjoy the day-use hot springs and compare the two versions of “Ton-chan,” a Takashima specialty.
Also, if you go to a restaurant at a resort hotel on the shores of Lake Biwa, they probably serve Omi beef grilled on a ceramic plate.

I’m a somewhat lost 60-something.
How about the café at “Furudōgu Kaizu” in Makino?
Depending on the weather, I think the lakeside terrace would be lovely.
However, they have irregular opening days, partly due to COVID, so please check before you go.
The Metasequoia-lined avenue is already quite famous…
If you’re looking for a meal, I recommend Korian.
The restaurant was destroyed by a typhoon three years ago, but apparently reopened in April.
Since it serves kaiseki cuisine, it might feel a little lonely dining there alone—but the food and the view are both wonderful.
