This is the case in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. There are two ancient cities here, one is Yan Gen, known as "Little Edo", and the other is Bajian, the hometown of merchants on the riverside. These two ancient cities show people with their own posture and tranquility.
The story of the years is frequently staged here, but it is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, watching all this and recording all this. What's it like here? Walk in here with Bian Xiao and have a look!
The first is the scenery.
Yan gencheng
This city is called one of the 50% national treasures of Japan. In addition, the "bright moon", one of the eight scenic spots in Biwahu Lake, is here. When I came here, the city of Yangen was bright after the sun rose. I climbed to the top floor of Tianshou Pavilion, overlooking from the railing, and saw all the scenery of Lake Biwa and the city.
Stroll along the Pipa Lake, which is the largest lake in Japan and the "Mother Lake" in Japan. The sparkling, quiet and beautiful scenery is unobstructed.
After sunset, the bright moon is in the sky and the moon stars are rare. This is "until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon, bringing me my shadow and making the three of us", where the moonlight is very beautiful, transparent, bright and hazy.

Mengjingqiao old street
This old street is located at the foot of Yengen City, and there are various beautiful storefronts on both sides of the street. Some stores here sell screens, some paint pottery, some sew dolls, and some make candy. It's very lively here, which is quite different from the tranquility of Yan Guicheng.
Address: Otsuki Motomachi, Shiga Prefecture
Transportation: Take the bus by the river and get off at "キャッスルロドド" station.
Bayouwan
The Eight Banners are the "spring colors" in the eight scenic spots of Lake Biwa, connecting the scenery of Lake Biwa. Because of this river, the economy here is also linked with this waterway.
The best scenery, or to say that the summer night here, thousands of lights, floating on the lake, such a city seems to be no longer so old and lost too much interest and loneliness.
When autumn comes, gold is dyed everywhere here, which is very beautiful, but the best is the wine with the same name as the water town here, which is mellow and makes people reluctant to go.
Walking on the water with a Artemisia scoparia in your hand, the excitement on the shore has nothing to do with you. You quietly enjoy the coolness of the wind and the silence of time, and you are no longer afraid of the loss of time. The old city here, the green trees here and the breeze here are all passers-by and tourists. At this point, there are only you and the ancient ship here.
Address: Miyauchi-CHO, Baye City, Shiga Prefecture
Transportation: Take JR Donghai Road Yangshan Line and get off at "Yangen Station".

Japan also has its own small bridges and flowing water, its own misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and its own bright moon in the sky. This kind of Japan is obviously quieter here.
There are still many trivial things in life, but the breeze is still there, the misty rain is still there, and the bright moon is still there. In ancient times, I was in full bloom all my life, hoping that someone would come back.
