Shiga
Sep 15 - Nov 11
Omihachiman, Shiga
An area that once flourished with merchants, Omihachiman’s old town area is filled with historic Japanese-style buildings and is recognized as a preservation district for its cultural significance. This is a rare opportunity to explore the Omihachiman area while appreciating contemporary art; works by 70 artists both in and out of Japan will be exhibited in the traditional Machiya architecture at multiple locations. Make sure to visit Zuiryuji Temple, a venue located on top of Mount Hachiman, which is accessible by taking the ropeway and equipped with a spectacular panoramic view of Shiga.
