⛵ Kasumigaura's Traditional Sailing Boats　

This summer and autumn, tourist hobikisen boats will once again take to the waters of Lake Kasumigaura. ✨

Lake Kasumigaura is the second-largest lake in Japan, after Lake Biwa.
Originally developed as a traditional fishing method, hobikisen sailing was revived as a tourist attraction in 1971. Today, these iconic sailing boats continue to operate from summer through autumn in Namegata, Tsuchiura, and Kasumigaura.

🌬️ Step aboard a sightseeing boat and watch the beautiful hobikisen spread their huge white sails across the lake.
The contrast between the brilliant white sails, blue sky, and sparkling water creates a breathtaking scene　—a glimpse into the past that feels like a journey through time. 💙
Why not take a short journey back in time on Lake Kasumigaura? 🍃
