The loop trail around Biwa-ike Pond is paved to accommodate wheelchair users, although some sections may be challenging with steeper slopes. Spring and autumn are recommended for their greenery and foliage. Sunshine Trail connects to Mizunashi-ike Trail and Mt. Asahi Trail. Both trails are individual loop trails that are connected at one end of Biwa-ike Pond.

Mizunashi-ike is very unique pond which changes with the seasons. Following the snow melt, it is full with water and reflects beautifully, in autumn there is less water giving a different atmosphere in the same area to enjoy the gentle walk.
