| Restaurant highlights |
Comforting coffee and café menu. A relaxing café surrounded by the panoramic views of Lake Biwa.
Shale Mizugahama is a log cabin-style building perched high on the lakeshore. Established in 1981, this café has become a familiar spot for those driving along Lake Biwa. The interior, richly adorned ...with wood, offers a comfortable space where you can enjoy stunning views through the windows, creating a sense of openness and warmth.
The terrace seats are highly recommended on sunny days. With the natural sounds of the surroundings and breathtaking scenery right in front of you, it's a wonderful place where you can spend hours without getting bored. The changing beauty of nature with the seasons makes each visit a unique experience.
