Lake Biwa is said to be the largest lake in Japan. Walking along the lakeside is very pleasant, especially in early June when the weather is not too hot.

The temple grounds are very spacious, which makes it feel less crowded even with many visitors. Personally, I really enjoyed it 🥹. In spring and autumn, you can also enjoy cherry blossoms and autumn leaves 😍.
