Hidden gem. Castle that re-construction with elevator and nice air conditioner. Nice place for you who are travelling in summer. Very close to Nagahama station. If you want to go sightseeing in Shiga, going to Nagahama is the best choice. Not far from the castle, there are a lot of sightseeing spot that you can enjoy all day such as Kurokabe and Kaiyodo figure museum, etc. Enjoy Shiga, everyone!

Do go up to the observation deck to see Lake Biwa & surrounding areas.

The castle park is just infront of the nagahama station. Here the lake view is wonderful especialy during sunset. Which is qbout 5.30-6.00 pm. The park seem doesnt have a gate to block off visitor, so straight from the nagahama station we just walk and cross the street and then enter the castle park. Nagahama is very near to hikone. Just afew station apart. At Hikone you cannot look at the castle near without paying the fee because it hid on top of the mountain. But at nagahama castle is so acessible where you can even touch the castle base rock. Just dont try to climb😅

The history within is just amazing. You can also see the vast view of Biwa-lake from the top valcony of the castle.

A neat little museum with a cheap ticket cost. They do not cater to foreigners so if you don't read Japanese you're mostly just paying to look at some dioramas, archaeological finds from the surrounding area, and a 360 scenic view of the surrounding area. My Japanese is limited but I had a great time.
