A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
高島市
Takashima spans Lake Biwa’s western side in Shiga. Plan separate areas for shrines, old streets and Makino’s avenue, checking train and bus connections.
This guide covers places within Takashima, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
