- [Hikone Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hikone-castle): Shiga, Castle. A National Treasure castle near Lake Biwa, one of only five castles with an original keep designated as a National Treasure.
- [Azuchi Castle Ruins](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/azuchi-castle-ruins): Shiga, Castle. Oda Nobunaga’s short-lived castle survives as a wooded ascent of stone steps, walls and foundations above the Lake Biwa plain. The tower is gone, but the scale of the approach still conveys the ambition of its sixteenth-century builder.
