A second original castle

Day Trips reached Hikone Castle, one of only twelve surviving original castle keeps in Japan, on the far shore of Lake Biwa — a natural extension of last month's Lake Biwa guide rather than a separate trip.

Also new this week

Districts added an overview of Nishi Ward, tying together Horie, Kitahama and Utsubo Park as neighbours rather than separate stops. Food covered how to actually read and order from a typical izakaya menu.
