About this event
Information on the peak autumn foliage viewing at Oarahiko Shrine in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. Founded in the first half of the 13th century, this historic shrine has an established reputation for the fresh greenery that blankets the grounds and its vivid autumn leaves. In autumn, the foliage beautifully complements the stone steps leading up to the grounds and the shrine pavilions, creating an atmosphere full of traditional charm. Rental bicycles can also be used from the front of Shin-Asahi Station or the Biwako Takashima Tourism Association. The best viewing time is typically from early November to mid-November, though it may vary depending on the weather.
