  • About Chikubu Island
    Chikubu Island, a site of Japan's national heritage.
    The name of the island means "an island to celebrate the gods." During the Middle Ages, the island was popular amongst pilgrims as one of 33 shrines in Western Japan dedicated to the Buddhist goddess Kannon.
  • About Take Island
    Take Island is closely connected to the Ii family, which ruled Hikone Domain for centuries. With a circumference of 600 m, this tiny island floats 6.5 km offshore from Hikone. It is known as "Take Island" (literally, "island of many views") because it strikes a different silhouette from every angle from which it is viewed.
  • Naomasa Crimson Armor Boat Currently Under Commission
    Going into commission in January, 2017.
    This boat has been newly rennovated with a motif of the iconic crimson armor of the Ii castle lords, and is adorned with the tachibana orange of the Ii family crest, and the "Ii" character of their battle flags. Take a ride on the Crimson Armor Boat when you go sightseeing on Lake Biwa!
    The Crimson Armor Boat will be used for the 1st and 3rd departures of the Chikubu Island Cruise, and for the Takei Island Landing Course.
