A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
東近江市
Visit the main hall and Niomon gate of Hyakusaiji in Higashiomi. These are two stops within the same temple, not temples in different municipalities. Wear footwear suited to woodland paths and stone steps.
This guide covers places within Higashiomi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
百済寺本堂
The photograph shows the main hall’s wooded exterior. The tourism association presents this as a historic Tendai temple. Distinguish founding traditions from the age of the surviving building and check current visiting arrangements.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
百済寺仁王門
This gate lies along the same temple’s approach; large straw sandals are visible in the image. Conditions may have changed since the photograph was taken. Keep other visitors’ routes clear when stopping for pictures near the gate or steps.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
The tourism association’s food listings include Omi beef establishments. Omi beef is a Shiga brand, not a dish exclusive to Higashiomi. Check cuts, prices and origin information with the restaurant.
