Lunch at Yogoko-so lodge: Eel (unagi) and udon noodles. I think it was 700 yen or so.11 views

Dead end. Right after the lodge, the road was closed due to snow. But I decided to walk over the snow in order to walk around the entire lake. I knew there were some great shots to be had on the other side of the lake. But it almost froze my feet.11 views

View from Yogo Station. The Yogo area always sees Shiga's heaviest snowfall. One winter when there was heavy snow, I went to Lake Yogo and walked around the lake in deep snow.10 views
