Omihachiman is a historic city located in Shiga Prefecture, situated along the eastern shores of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake. The city flourished as a merchant town during the Edo period (1603-1867), and its well-preserved historic district features traditional buildings, canals, and narrow streets that reflect its mercantile past.

The town's architecture combines elements from both the Edo and Meiji periods, with many merchant houses (machiya) still standing today. The nearby Hachiman-bori Canal, constructed in the 16th century, served as an important transportation route for local commerce and remains a significant cultural landmark.

The city is also known for its traditional crafts, including Omi merchants' traditional products, and its efforts to preserve Japanese cultural heritage through various museums and cultural sites.
