Lake Biwa Canal Boat ~Spring 2024~
The great achievements of the Meiji era were achieved by connecting the thoughts of our predecessors.
Kyoto rapidly declined after the Meiji Restoration due to the de facto transfer of the capital to Tokyo. The key to its revival was the construction of the Lake Biwa Canal. This unprecedentedly large project, which cost approximately twice the annual budget of Kyoto Prefecture at the time, was completed in 23 with the help of Japanese people alone, without relying on foreign engineers. Please enjoy the scenery of this Japan Heritage site, which is still loved even after about 1890 years.
In the spring of 2024, we will extend the route to Lake Biwa and Otsu Port and begin operations!
Why not enjoy sightseeing around Lake Biwa and passing through Otsu Lock, as well as enjoy the colorful cherry blossom trees and fresh greenery along the waterway?
《Points that can only be seen by those on board》
・Among the plaques written by politicians who represent the Meiji period that are displayed at the entrance of each tunnel, the only one inside the tunnel is Kunimichi Kitagaki, the third governor of Kyoto who planned and constructed the canal project. It's a flat forehead.・Passengers on board can see the pit, which was the first in Japan to use the pit method, from below.
