"SHIGA : my hometown" Shiga-ken by Naomi7777777

=now underconstruction (sorry for my mis spell & less info)=

I can't travel abroad for a while, so I wrote down a bit about some place I reccomend.

We have Lake Biwa in shiga, and which is the biggest Lake in Japan.

For visitors who are not interested in traditional or countriside(interedtied in jsut High technology of Jpn), these are not fun.
I am not prenty knowleage of shiga , but I need to recomferm shiga is also historical place.
There were many small temple or shrine in Shiga.
Most of temples are highly close adherence to community.


Kyoto is well know as historical place and recently I saw too many visitor around kyoto-station. I also travel to Kyoto to see temple, shrine, museum, and really convinient to morern.
But, some staying in Japan for a long time told me Shiga is also nice place to relax, and have a nice view.
Here is next to Kyoto, so If you have a enough time, nice to visit there. Or tired to clowded or poluted places, nice place to relax and enjoy beautiful view.

There is Ukimi-do temple south west side of Lake Biwa. I visit here once a year since 2002(I might visit again this year more).
And here is one of my favorate place. View is nice,
According to people who lives near hear, snow season is also nice.

Reference:
Basho's poem(what we call, haiku)
Kozoku no sato-museum: small but interesting (100 yen)
*Kozoku is people living around the Lake biwa
what' kind of people Kozoku???
see "Heike-story (chapter 6)"
Heike vs Genji

SATOYAMA

We can see red flower what we call HIGAN-BANA beside paddie field. (The best blooming season is within two weeks in September.)

What's we call, "sato-yama" people and nature are well co-exist area(I am not sure who named "sato-yama", but it is good name).

There were terrace field of rice near moutains, but now the number are decreasing because of development for human. I also live in resident area, and feel convinient, so I don't have a right to say complain to them.
I heared there are controversy. Rice field are also made from human, and there is opinion human distroy nature because of planting.

But owing to the idea to rice breeding, other crops, vegitable's bleeding, peole can eat crops etc. without eating nature's materials.

Last year's abnormal climate such as typhoon, farmer terrebly endengered.
We eat crops, vegitables, meat etc. and we should appreciate to people who glow them,
even we pay money.

I know I should, but I am about to forget the basic things.

• In a nutshell:Good place for relax
