The moat of the historic Hachimanyama Castle [Hachimanbori]

When you come to Omi Hachiman, you will definitely see the beautiful [Hachimanbori]. It is an artificial moat that surrounds Hachiman Castle and flows into Lake Biwa. In ancient times, it allowed cargo ships traveling to and from Lake Biwa to dock. It is also called Hachimanura and is the center of Omi's merchant economy. It is an important thoroughfare for the circulation of goods and services, and its scenery is indescribable. Nowadays, the commercial road has become a tourist road, but the old houses and houses on both sides of Hachimanbori still form a picture against the sparkling river. You can still feel the strong historical atmosphere while traveling there. #河口湖景 #日本 #日本Travel #omihachiman #古城
