Ocean or lake? 🌊⁠

The ‘floating’ torii of Shirahige Shrine is actually located on Japan’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. Aside from exploring the shrine and enjoying the scenery there’s also cycling, swimming, SUP and camping in the area! ⁠

Please note: Drone photography in the shrine area is currently not permitted. Crossing national roads is also dangerous and not permitted, so please take photos of the torii gate in the lake from the designated observatory space.⁠
