Hotels in Shiga, Japan
Shiga is a landlocked region in central Japan, famous for Lake Biwa, the country's largest freshwater lake. Summers are hot and humid, perfect for paddleboarding or jet-skiing on the lake, while winters bring snow to nearby Mount Ibuki, where you can ski or snowboard from December to March. You can also explore Hikone Castle, one of only 12 original castles in Japan, or cycle the 200-kilometer Biwaichi path around the lake.
