Omatsuzaki is one of the eight most scenic spots around Lake Biwa. The White Beach of Omatsuzaki is where the depth of the water suddenly changes, and the water – so clear it's as if one could catch a fish by hand – stretches far out. The view of white sand and green pines, spreading for 3km with the Hira mountain range as its backdrop, is just magnificent.
