A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
甲賀市
Koka is a city in Shiga. Explore castle remains and Shigaraki ceramic culture at the Minakuchi Castle Museum and Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park. Visit them separately and check current conditions for each exhibition and facility.
This guide covers places within Koka, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
水口城資料館
A museum built to resemble a historic turret at the castle site. The photo shows its exterior in 2022, not a surviving original castle keep. Distinguish it from the nearby history and folklore museum and check room-specific photography and closure guidance.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
滋賀県立陶芸の森
A cultural setting for ceramics exhibitions and creative work. The photo shows the industry exhibition pavilion exterior in 2010, not current exhibits or shop stock. Check separate access conditions for the park and paid museum, including exhibition changes and seasonal closures.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
City guidance introduces Tsuchiyama and Asamiya teas. Check leaf origins, blends and availability for each product. A ceramics exhibition does not imply tea tastings or meal service.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Visit the two places separately. Check distances and transport on the map rather than assuming a short walk.
