Shiga prefectural government

The Shiga Prefectural Government office manages administrative operations from a central location that overlooks Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater body.

Established during the 1871 reorganization of Japanese provinces, the Shiga Prefectural Government succeeded the administration of the former Omi Province.

The government office coordinates regional festivals, supports traditional pottery crafts, and maintains connections with local artisans throughout Shiga Prefecture.

Visitors can access the government building via public transportation from Otsu Station, with regular bus services operating throughout business hours.

The administrative center oversees an area containing Lake Biwa, which provides drinking water to more than 14 million people in the Kansai region.
