About this map pin
The camera installation is not confirmed. This pin uses a mapped reference near Biwako Terrace and Valley Summit Area; the filmed landmark and camera position may differ.
The map also shows rail lines serving Shiga Station. The distance above is a straight line, not a walking time. Check the actual entrance and route below.
The closest station in a straight line may not be the easiest way in. The route also ends at the camera reference point, so change it to the place you actually plan to visit. Check buses, journey time and first or last trains in the route results.
