A Taste of Shiga at COCOSHIGA
COCOSHIGA offers a literal taste of Shiga, thanks to its souvenir and craft store, sake tasting bar and Omi beef sukiyaki restaurant, KAN KAN KAN.
From Lake Biwa to history, culture, and nature — explore authentic Japan.
Located at the center of Japan, Shiga is home to Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake, and a rich cultural heritage shaped over centuries. Visitors can enjoy outdoor adventures, historical landmarks, and unique culinary traditions — all within easy reach of Kyoto and Osaka.
In Nihonbashi, Tokyo, the COCOSHIGA store showcases Shiga with local products, a regional restaurant, and travel tips — the ideal first step before your visit.
