A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
日野町
Hino is a town in Shiga, distinct from Hino City in Tokyo. Explore local worship and merchant history at Umamioka Watamuki Shrine and the Omi Hino Merchant Museum. Check visitor guidance for each facility.
This guide covers places within Hino, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
馬見岡綿向神社
A shrine associated with the faith of Hino merchants and local lords. The photo shows its grounds in 2022. Distinguish the spring Hino Festival from an ordinary visit and follow on-site viewing and photography guidance.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
近江日野商人館
Explore Hino merchant history and life in the former Yamanaka Hyōemon residence. The photo shows its exterior in October 2022. Distinguish it from the separate former Yamanaka Shōkichi residence and check Monday, Tuesday and holiday-related closure rules.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Tourism guidance introduces hinona, a traditional local vegetable, and pickled products. The photo shows hinona in 2022; it is not evidence of a current harvest or certification of a particular product. Check ingredients, origins and availability for each product.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Visit the two places separately. Check distances and transport on the map rather than assuming a short walk.
