Chikubu Island cruise
Chikubu Island is an island on Lake Biwa with a mysterious atmosphere. The two old buildings of Hogon-ji Temple and Tsukubusuma Shrine have been dedicated as objects of faith from the distant past. Chikubu Island has been selected as one of the 8 most scenic spots of Lake Biwa. It has been handed down as an island having a mysterious atmosphere in “The Visit to Chikubushima” in the Tale of the Heike and the Yokyoku (Noh song) “Chikubushima”, and it still attracts great interest from people.
