How long does Biwaichi take?

Biwaichi is a cycling route of approximately 200 km that circles Lake Biwa. While the time required varies depending on your pace, breaks, and sightseeing, we generally recommend planning for at least one night and two days, or three days and two nights or longer.

Rather than simply covering the distance, take your time to enjoy Shiga Prefecture’s beautiful lakeside scenery, history and culture, and local cuisine. This will allow you to experience Biwaichi more fully.

Please plan a comfortable schedule according to your fitness level and cycling experience, and enjoy cycling while discovering the many attractions of Shiga.
