Maihara, Transport hub in Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Maibara stretches across 250 square kilometers, with forests covering 70 percent of the land and Lake Biwa bordering its eastern edge.
The city formed on February 14, 2005, through the merger of several towns including Irie, Santo, and Ibuki, establishing a new administrative structure.
The Maibara Hikiyama Festival in October features decorated floats parading through streets while celebrating local traditions and community bonds.
The central railway station connects multiple train lines, including the Tokaido Shinkansen, making it a primary transfer point for travelers across Japan.
Mount Ibuki near Maibara reaches 1377 meters, offering winter skiing facilities and hiking trails with views extending to Lake Biwa.
