2024/9/15🗻Lake Nagahama/Ayu Ibigawa trip~(^^)If you are heading from the direction of Nagahama, turn left immediately after passing through the Shizugatake Tunnel! And it's a sharp angle! ! Wow! ! ! That's about it😆Handbrake turn level lolSo, I arrived while praying that there would be no oncoming traffic.When I spoke to the staff, the owner was from China. It's amazing to have people from overseas make use of such a valuable building. It's a blessing.Thank you for the meal🦆

I was able to spend a wonderful time being healed by the wonderful scenery and the personality of the shop owner.The chiffon cake was also very moist and fluffy.When I was leaving, I was grateful that the staff at the shop went out of their way to take photos in the hot weather.

I came to the cafe once before.It's a little hard to find, but I was surprised at how good the view was. It seems that you can also stay overnight.There is a railway outside, and apparently you can stay inside the railway✨I didn't go there for the night, but the owner took the trouble to let me go inside and gave me a detailed explanation. Thank you 😌💞If you like trains, I think this is a spot you definitely want to visit! !At the cafe, you can enjoy various kinds of chiffon cakes, hot dogs, drinks, etc. Chiffon cake was delicious (^^)✨

It was such a great experience with Kosouan airbnb! The room where we stayed was built from old train cabin, which made the experience even more special. We were given the warmest welcome by the owner. The cafe breakfast was amazing. Would definitely go there again!!!!

I used it for an overnight stay. The hotel is located at the Shizugatake Tunnel on National Route 8. If you are heading towards Fukui, turn left immediately after exiting the tunnel, or towards Kinomoto, turn right before the tunnel. This is a renovated old folk house located in a village on the shores of Lake Biwa. There is a cafe on the first floor, serving breakfast and lunch. The second floor was the accommodation room, and the room I stayed in had a view of Lake Biwa and I was able to relax. There was no TV, so I enjoyed the slow and quiet time. The Chinese owner was friendly and we talked about various things during dinner. Just a little information, the cafe's bread is made from Tsuruya Bread, which is famous for its salad bread.

Immediately after exiting the tunnel, go down the road on the left and you will find yourself in a small village on the shore of the lake.We had a relaxing lunch in a quiet location overlooking Lake Biwa.It also serves as a guesthouse, and you can also stay in the JR caboose that is placed outside.

Turn left immediately after exiting the tunnel.This is a cafe inside the village. The location is excellent, with Lake Biwa right in front of you! All you can hear is the sound of the waves and the voices of birds, giving you an extraordinary feeling.The chiffon cake I ordered was fluffy and delicious.The friendly owner also showed us around the accommodation 💁♂️I would like to visit you again 😊

I was looking for a cafe with a view of Lake Biwa when I discovered this place and stopped by.I was supposed to turn left immediately after exiting the tunnel, but I missed it and passed it. lolSince the store is still new, the smell of wood gives it a very calming atmosphere.Lake Biwa is right in front of you!Although the weather was unfortunate, it was very quiet and I was able to spend a relaxing time.Although the menu itself was small, it was very delicious.The owner was very personable and I was happy to talk to him a lot.Next time I would like to stay at a guest house.

I came here because I wanted to go to a cafe by the lake. First of all, the location with Lake Biwa right in front of you is the best! ! The occasional sound of the waves and the chirping of small birds brings tranquility to your mind.The omelette rice had a gentle taste, and the chiffon cake was fluffy and had a strong egg taste. Personally, the blood orange juice was quite delicious! It had a strong bitterness and sourness, and contained pulp😍In addition, in the parking lot, a train that was used during the Japanese National Railways era has been renovated to create accommodation facilities, which I think is irresistible for enthusiasts.The owner, Mr. Miyagawa, was visiting at the time, and I had a lot of fun listening to his stories! I'll bother you again ☺︎
