Old Tokaido side street Michi Yahashi (Yabasemichi) Yahashi Port masonry jetty ruins - 矢橋町 Kusatsu

I understand the origin of Yabasekihan Island ?

I think it is a public facility and it is a "private property" on "private land". Someone seems to have bought it. What is the local government doing? Hiroshige is crying.

This is the site of Yabashi Port, famous for the Omihakkei "Yahashi Return". It is an archeological park where the port's jetty and nightlights remain. The nightlight is installed on the premises of the private house, so it cannot be touched, but it seems to be able to think of old traffic.

"The boat of Mononofu Yabase is fast, but the boat of Seta is fast, but it's faster to go from Kusatsu to Otsu (now Hamaotsu), but it's risky, so it's time." It takes, but it is better to go through the Karabashi in Seta). This is a story from the Muromachi period, and it seems that the Yabase boat became more stable and faster due to the development of navigation in the Edo period.

The Kabumura Buddhist monument is erected in a corner of Kuhojima Kihojima [Yahashi Park]. Rape blossoms and Minade Harahashi Yabashi Boat Kabumura A monument erected as a hometown creation project in 1991.

Hurry up. The site of Yabashi Port, which is famous for. Three breakwaters and lanterns are left in the park, and it can be felt that they were the shores of Lake Biwa until they were reclaimed. However, there is no parking lot or information, and the historical remains are not noticeable at all. Speaking of Yabase, even local people now only have Inazuma Rock Fes. I'm sorry.

The site of Yabashi Port is a park. The river scenery seen from the bank is nice.
