Biwako Cultural Park

The Biwako Cultural Park stretches across multiple sections featuring sports facilities, gardens, and observation areas overlooking Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan.

The establishment of Biwako Cultural Park in 1985 marked a transformation of the area into a recreational space that combines natural elements with modern amenities.

The park contains exhibition spaces and venues where local artists present their work, while seasonal events celebrate traditional Japanese customs throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the park via a 10-minute walk from JR Otsukyo Station, with free parking available for those arriving by car.

The park incorporates ornamental gardens constructed with 400 tons of stone and features Hatsumiyo cherry trees that bloom earlier than other varieties in the region.
