Hira Station - Otsu

You can see Lake Biwa and Mount Hira. Get off at this station to Inn Taniguchi.

Although there are a number of users, it has not been made barrier-free, and the Special Rapid Service will not stop.

I saw this scenery for the first time ever! This area is a special terrain. A 1000m-class mountain range is right next to Lake Biwa, and the weather often changes suddenly. A fox's marriage phenomenon is also seen, so a rainbow often occurs. When I passed by train near Hira station, there were many rainbows over the mountain slope from the lake! Over the distance of several kilometers, rainbows of various sizes came out one after another, and trains passed through the rainbow ... through the rainbow tunnel. There are no words in such a beautiful scene ... Do people living around here often see such a scene?

Going a little to the mountain side from the station, the rice fields were beautiful.

The number of people is small. The rice flour basil cheese bun I bought at the cafeteria in front of the station was the best! I didn't buy it today, but I also sold handmade side dishes for takeout. Another store? Your house? Before, the natural spring water continued to spring up, and I was told that I could freely draw it, so I took it home with my PET bottle. It had a soft and clear taste.

The nearest station to Biwako Seikei Sport College. It is a mysterious time for Thunderbird to pass instantly over the elevated land that stretches over the villages and countryside along Lake Biwa.

I don't know if I can't keep an eye on the bicycle storage area, but it seems that the places where people who commute to the station by bicycle and students of Spo University can park their bicycles are getting narrower. The other day, a student's bicycle was parked next to the bicycle I was riding on, and a chain was hung on the handlebar of my bicycle and the handlebar of the student's bicycle, so I could not get on and go home.
