Enjoying the Seasons

Swimming and lakeside camping in summer, crisp clear air in autumn, and local delicacies in winter let you enjoy every season by the water.

About five minutes by taxi from Omi-Takashima Station on the JR Kosei Line, in a quiet setting surrounded by the nature of the western lakeshore.

A Quick Tip
