Shiga mountains

"Climbed after a bus ride from just outside of Maibara. Bottom was steep and forest, the middle was exposed and green, with some great views of Biwa lake. The top although a slog was great as it finished with shops on top of the mountain. Met a nice Japanese guy on top of the mountain who gave us a cup of coffee." — steverd • May 22, 2007

"A train ride to the west of Biwa Lake took us to the local station. We then walked through he town and followed the road upwards until we hit the end. The path then took us through forests by rivers and streams and we saw waterfalls on the way. At the top was a ski slope, which we caulked across and came down the other side via an old tree.
