こちらの旅館で、結婚式があり、泊まらせていただきました。旅館ということで、とにかく食事がおいしかったです。また、朝日が琵琶湖から昇るのを温泉から見ることが出来、感動しました。すごくいい思い出です。 more

どちらかといえば、校外学習むけっぽい企画や展示が多いのですが、おさかなトンネルがあったり、ゆったりとした庭があったり、蓮が見られる琵琶湖のほとりに近かったりで、家族連れでも楽しめます。琵琶湖のいきものや歴史などマニアックな展示も。あと、昔の船を再現した模型とか、珍しい貝の展示も見ものです。駅からは遠いので、車でないと行きにくいのですが、ここに向かう道はひろびろしていて眺めもよく走りやすいので、ドライブがてらちょっと寄ってみるのもいいとおもいます。 more
