ROUTE 45. From Lake Biwa to Ama-no-Hashidate. The first stage is by lake steamer from Otsu to Imazu in 3 1/2 hrs., after which the Itinerary is as follows: IMAZU to: Kumagawa, 4 ri 18 cho, 11 m.; OBAMA, 4 ri 10 cho, 10 1/2 m.; Wada (or boat), 5 ri 13 cho, 13 m.; Takahama, 18 cho, 1 1/2 m.; Kissaka, 2 ri 17 cho, 6 m.; Ichiba, 1 ri 28 cho, 4 1/2 m.; MAIZURU, 2 ri 18 cho, 6 m.; Yura, 3 ri 11 cho, 8 m.; MIYAZU, 3 ri 7 cho, 7 1/2 m. Total, 27 ri 32 cho, 68 m. The trip along the west coast of Lake Biwa is delightful on a fine day. Various miniature ports are touched at, Katata, Omizo (Katsuno), Funaki, and Fukamizo, and one gets a passing glimpse of several of the Omi Hakkei (see p. 344), notably the pine-tree of Karasaki.
第45路程 琵琶湖から天橋立へ。まず大津から今津まで湖上汽船で3時間半行き、その後は熊川、小浜、和田、高浜、キッサカ、市場、舞鶴、由良を経て宮津へ向かう。合計27里32町、68マイルである。好天の日の琵琶湖西岸の航行は快適で、堅田、大溝（勝野）、舟木、深溝などの小港へ寄り、唐崎の松をはじめ近江八景の一部を垣間見る。
The whole lake basin is seen to be enclosed by mountains, the most conspicuous being Mikami-yama (also called the Fuji of Omi)
湖盆全体は山々に囲まれて見え、とりわけ目立つのは近江富士とも呼ばれる三上山である。
to the r., Ibuki-yama further ahead to the r., and the chain of Echizen forming a barrier straight ahead. Between Imazu (Inn, Fukudaya) and Kumagawa (Inn, Hishi-ya), the road runs over the hills separating the province of Omi from that of Wakasa on the Sea of Japan. Except in summer, a lower temperature and a cloudier sky are apt to be met with as soon as the boundary is crossed. Obama (Inn, Yahara-ya), capital of Wakasa, is a clean seaport town, noted for a kind of lacquer (Wakasa-nuri) with serpentine and starred or dotted patterns in bronze or green. A tray or box occupies five or six months in the making.
右前方には伊吹山、正面には壁のように越前の連山が続く。今津と熊川の間では、近江と日本海側の若狭を隔てる丘を越える。夏以外は国境を越えると気温が下がり、空も曇りがちになる。若狭の中心・小浜は清潔な港町で、青銅または緑の蛇紋・星形・点模様を用いる若狭塗で知られる。盆や箱一つの製作にも五、六か月を要する。
Even a pair of chopsticks takes two months, owing to the many layers that are applied, and the drying necessary between each. The whole coast of Wakasa is extremely pretty, recalling the Inland Sea, but greener and more abrupt, with steep islets and headlands all wooded. Such narrow strips and patches of arable land as are left between the precipitous hills and the sea are cultivated with great care, and the peasantry seem healthy and prosperous. The invigorating sea-breezes are unaccompanied by any sea smells, perhaps owing partly to the absence of tide. The tidelessness of this sea on the Japanese side was noted by the poet Hitomaro twelve hundred years ago.
箸一膳でさえ、何層も塗り、各層の間で乾かすため二か月かかる。若狭海岸全体は瀬戸内海を思わせるが、より緑濃く切り立ち、急な島と岬は全て森林に覆われる。海と断崖の間に残る細い耕地は丁寧に耕され、農民は健康で豊かに見える。潮がないためか、爽快な海風には海の匂いが伴わない。日本側のこの海に潮汐がないことは、1200年前に歌人・人麻呂も記している。
The opposite Korean coast also has an unusually small rise and fall, something under 18 inches. Whether one proceed westward by boat across the Bay of Obama, or take the road, the scenery is equally delightful. Tada-ga-take is the highest peak of the range rising behind the town. Aoba-yama ahead resembles Fuji in shape, but is tree-clad to the summit. From the landing-place at Wada it is flat on to Takahama (Inn, Mugi-ya), a large and prosperous village standing on a pretty bay. Thence it is an inland walk, amidst rich cultivation and over two or three hills, via Kissaka [This is the best place whence to climb Aoba-yama, 1 ri to the summit by an easy path.] to Ichiba and Maizuru (see p. 383).
対岸の朝鮮側も潮位差は18インチ弱と異例に小さい。小浜湾を舟で西へ渡っても、陸路を取っても景観は同じくすばらしい。町の背後の山並みでは多田ヶ岳が最高峰で、前方の青葉山は富士山に似た形ながら頂まで木に覆われる。和田の舟着き場から高浜までは平坦で、高浜は美しい湾に立つ大きく繁栄した村である。そこから豊かな耕地と二、三の丘を越え、青葉山へ登る好地点のキッサカ、市場を通って舞鶴へ至る。
We are now in the province of Tango. The road soon enters the valley of the Yura-gawa at its most picturesque part not far from the coast, steep hills, some of them 2,000 ft. high, accompanying the river to its very mouth. Yura (Inn, Yamada-ya), a scattered village with good sea bathing, is mentioned in the national annals as the birthplace of Urashima (see p. 86). A fine road leads along the sea to Miyazu; for Ama-no-Hashidate, see p. 383.
ここから丹後国に入り、道は海岸近くで最も美しい由良川の谷へ入る。二千フィートに達する急な丘が河口まで川に沿う。由良は海水浴によい散在する村で、国史では浦島の生地として記される。よい道が海岸沿いに宮津へ通じ、天橋立については383ページを参照する。
