A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
彦根市
Visit a castle with an original keep and a pond garden in Hikone. Plan the castle’s stone steps and the garden walk separately to suit your mobility and current access conditions.
This guide covers places within Hikone, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
彦根城
Explore the original keep, stone walls and castle buildings. Stone steps lead uphill and the keep’s interior stairs are steep; check which areas suit your needs before visiting. The photograph dates from 2008.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
玄宮園
A former daimyo garden northeast of the castle, arranged around a pond. Enjoy the reflections and garden buildings. The photograph was taken in September 2006 and does not promise autumn foliage or evening illumination.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Hikone-don combines Omi rice with local ingredients. Recipes and toppings differ between restaurants, so it is not one fixed type of bowl. Check current menus before choosing.
