【4K Town Walking Japan #352】Tsuchiyama Koka SHIGA ぶらり散歩 土山 甲賀 滋賀
Tsuchiyama is a post town on the Tokaido, and is still a key point of east-west transportation through the National Highway No. 1 connecting Tokyo and Osaka and recently opened Shin Tomei Expressway. Along the old road that runs parallel to the national highway, the cityscape is left for about 2 km from east to west, and many traditional buildings are left around the ruins of the main camp in the center. In addition, there are many buildings that may have been built after the Meiji era, and it can be seen that this highway would have been fully functional until very recently, when high-speed movement by car became widespread. Starting from the roadside station, which can be said to be a symbol of motorization, we can take a leisurely walk through the long streets of Tsuchiyama!

Koka Ninja Village, a collection of preserved ninja architecture
The Koka Ninja Village (甲賀の里 忍術村) is Koka city's attraction that includes several preserved ninja-related architecture and facilities to enjoy ninja experiences.
Not only just seeing staff demonstration in the ninja house or the displayed ninja items in museum, you can experience various ninja activities such as ninja star throwing, walking on water with mud shoes and climbing walls in the vast grounds of the village.
As the village is in rural area, you need to call the office of the village and ask them for pick-up once you arrived at Koka station of JR.
By the way, the 'Koka' is often called 'Koga' or 'Kouga' in comics or movies but 'Koka' is the correct name.

Ohara Dam, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
"It's a medium-sized dam that offers an impressive view. The area around the dam is accessible by road, so you can enjoy the dam lake while driving. This is not the kind of dam where you watch water flowing down, but rather a place where you can gaze at the vast water surface and relax. The dam lake is part of the Suzuka Quasi-National Park."

土山是东海道的驿站,通过连接东京和大阪的国道1号线和近年开通的新东名高速公路,至今仍是东西交通的要道。 沿着与国道平行的老路,东西约2公里的城市景观留下了许多传统建筑,在中心的主营遗址周围留下了许多传统建筑。 此外,还有许多建筑物可能是明治时代之后建造的,可以看出这条高速公路直到最近汽车高速运动变得普遍时才完全正常运行。 从可以说是机动化象征的路边车站出发,悠闲地漫步在土山的长街上!
土山は東海道の宿場町であり、また現在も東京と大阪を結ぶ国道1号線と、近年開通した新東名高速道路が通る東西の交通の要衝です。国道に並走する旧道に沿って、東西約二キロに渡って街並みが残されており、中心部の本陣跡周辺には伝統的な建築物も数多く残されています。また、明治期以降に作られたであろう建物も多く、この街道が自動車による高速移動が普及するごく最近まで十分に機能していたであろうことが伺えます。そのモータリゼーションの象徴とも言える道の駅を起点に、長い土山の街並みを、のんびり歩きます!
