Ohmi Railway, which recently celebrated its 125th anniversary, serves the plain on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. Passengers enjoy views across tranquil rural landscapes and traditional townscapes created by the prosperous merchants of the Ohmi region.
Our railway is the perfect way to tour the beguiling townscapes of Shiga Prefecture and its many shrines and temples.
The railway has been used for a wide range of on-location shoots, for instance by travel programs filming on the special trains we operate for seasonal events or to film a background scene in a movie.
