A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
米原市
Maibara is a city in Shiga. Explore historic-road and waterside landscapes at Samegai’s Jizō River and the Kashiwabara-juku History Museum. Visit the two post towns separately; older photos do not show current blooms or facility conditions.
This guide covers places within Maibara, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
醒井宿と地蔵川
Explore an old Nakasendō post town beside a clear stream. The photo shows the Jizō River in May 2023 and does not guarantee current water-crowfoot blooms. Stay out of the water, leave plants undisturbed and respect residents’ living spaces.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
柏原宿歴史館
A museum introducing the history and culture of the post town and surrounding area. The photo shows its exterior in 2021. Check Monday and holiday-related closure rules; drivers should use the B&G Santō Marine Center parking area indicated by the city.
Getting there

02 · A LITTLE BITE
City guidance introduces yaito udon at the history museum café, a name inspired by the area’s association with moxa. It does not imply eating medicinal moxa. Check actual ingredients and the current menu with the facility.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Visit the two places separately. Check distances and transport on the map rather than assuming a short walk.
