About This Video

Located north of Shiga, 40 minutes from Kyoto is beautiful Biwako lake and Torri. Shirahige is far from being your average shrine. It features one of Japan’s most beautiful, iconic views thanks to its gorgeous Torii standing in the lake. If you are looking for that “postcard” photo or to tease your friends on Instagram, Shirahige Shrine is the place to visit!

Built over 2,000 years ago, It’s said that praying at Shirahige Shrine will bring a variety of fortunes, such as longevity, marriage, academic achievement and so on.
