On this trip, we will visit two old castle towns, Hikone and Oumi-Hachiman which are located on the Shores of Lake Biwako. Hikone is a small town, but it was a major transportation hub where the old highways intersected. It is famous for the Ii clan, a leading member of the Tokugawa Shogunate, who ruled over the Hikone domain. Hikone Castle the residence of Ii family, still remains its original appearance. Let's walk up the path to the castle keep with the intention of conquering the castle. In the other town, Oumi-Hachiman, most powerful medieval warlord Toyotomi Clan built the castle and castle town. He promoted commerce, and the canals for that trade still remain as they were in those days. Why not take a cycling trip and cruise the canal?
