Enjoy a scenic cruise down Lake Biwa Canal during your trip to Kyoto! The #LakeBiwa Canal was constructed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and stretches over sixty kilometers, running from Lake Biwa all the way to the city of Kyoto. It was once a major transport route for water, people, and freight, but it fell into disuse over time. This prompted the Lake Biwa Canal Promotion Council to create the Lake Biwa Canal Cruise for the months March through November.✨ On this cru

Here’s your moment of zen from Lake Biwa in Japan to carry you into the weekend. This is Okishima, the only inhabited lake island in Japan. Located about 2 km off the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, the lineage of many of its residents trace back to samurai refugees in the 12th century. There are approximately 300 residents and fishing is a key element of the island's history and culture. #infisherman #lakebiwa #japan | In-Fisherman
