🗺️ Lake Biwa Fountainびわこ花噴水

Otsu Port is a bustling tourist hub on Lake Biwa, equipped with large sightseeing boats and small vessels departing from its piers and transfer stations. The "Lake Biwa Fountain" is built on a breakwater 180 meters offshore, offering free scenic views. There are a total of 66 fountains arranged along the breakwater. Measuring approximately 440 meters in length, it is considered the largest in the world. The water can shoot up to a height of 40 meters, equivalent to a 10-story building, leaving spectators in awe. The water flow and angle are controlled by a computer, allowing for a variety of stunning displays. During the day, the fountains provide a refreshing ambiance against the backdrop of Lake Biwa and the distant mountains. The best time for photography is when the large sightseeing boats are departing or returning to port, a moment not to be missed. At night, the fountains are illuminated with transparent, green, and orange lights, creating a firework-like effect. It is a popular dating spot, with its dreamlike beauty being a major highlight. The fountain schedule varies by season, so it is recommended to check the official Shiga Prefecture website before visiting.
