Kozoku no Sato Museum
Katata controlled all of Lake Biwa’s water transport and fisheries during the Middle Ages, and it prospered in those days as a city with a stature equal to that of (what was then known as) Senshu-Sakai in Osaka. At the Kozoku no Sato Museum, visitors can learn about the history and culture of the Folk of Katata (the “Kozoku,” or “Tribe of the Lake”), and the record of other ancestors from Katata through a variety of texts.
