Castle Road
# 2   of 2 sights
in Hikone

Yume-kyobashi Castle Road is a road just outside the castle's outer moat, which has been recently redesigned in a style combining the look and atmosphere of a former castle town with a pleasant, modern shopping street.

To achieve the castle town look, the buildings along the road have been designed like town houses from the Edo Period with white walls, blackened roofs and lattice doors. Various boutiques, restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops line the street, which makes for a pleasant stroll after a visit to the castle.

How to get there
The Yume-kyobashi Castle Road starts at the Kyobashi Bridge, which leads over the outer moat, southwest of Hikone Castle.
