Day 4 - North Biwa Lake


This day we enjoyed a drive to the most northern part of the lake, near a town called Makino. We found a wonderful campsite and were disappointed to see the price for one night was 4000 yen,.. about $45 US. So, we decided to find another spot. We found an abondoned campsite farther up the road and stayed there for free. The water is great. So clean, lots of fish. We had our baths in there. We also noticed a bird coming out of the water with a big fish in its mouth, gulp!


Along the way, during the drive, we saw a shrine in the water and stopped to take some photos. Plus, Dennis saw a sign to the turn off towards a town called Obama. In Japan, Obama means small beach, but I don't think we will see this town.


We were happy with our campsite, the scenery is gorgeous and peaceful, the problem is that it's the rainy season and it rained all night long and the following morning. Making the camping experience a little wet for comfort.
