Our guide
Nagahama Castle in Nagahama, Shiga, is a castle built on a plain. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Nagahama Station on the Hokuriku Main Line is about 400 m away in a straight line, and Kurokabe Square about 600 m, so the two fit into one walk. We have not checked opening hours or fees.
