Takashima, Kosei

Takashima enjoys the rich forests of the Tamba Mountains and the bounty of the waters of Lake Biwa. Easily accessible from Osaka and Kyoto, Takashima offers beautiful scenery and activities in each of the four seasons: cherry blossoms at Kaizu-Osaki adorn the surface of the lake in spring, beaches on Lake Biwa shines in the sun in summer, autumn leaves color the rows of metasequoia trees and surrounding mountains in fall, and skiing on the plateau while enjoying the magnificent view of the lake in winter.
