The dream canals of our ancestors can be traced by canal boats, and the traces of many achievements that can only be seen by boarding the canal. Lake Biwa Canal is an artificial canal built to revive Kyoto's industry, which had declined due to the relocation of the capital to Tokyo. This project, which was completed after overcoming numerous difficulties, was a major project in Kyoto during the Meiji period, carried out solely by Japanese people. The Lake Biwa Canal has been revived after 70 years. Please enjoy a boat trip where you can see for yourself the achievements of our predecessors while enjoying the scenery around the canal that creates a seasonal atmosphere.
