Omihachiman Suigo Canal Tour

The waterways of Omihachiman City in Shiga Prefecture are scenic riverside landscapes recognized as Japan Heritage. The suigo canal tour aboard hand-rowed covered boats leisurely navigating the waterways lined with reed fields offers about 80 minutes of healing time. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, in early summer, Japanese iris colors the waterways, and in autumn, golden reed fields spread out. Along Hachiman-bori canal, historic townscapes with white-walled storehouses remain, where you can enjoy strolling while feeling the history of Omi merchants. The famous Baumkuchen shop Club Harie is also nearby.
