In 2018, the Biwako Sosui Boat, which cruises gracefully down the Sosui, was revived, and cruising to view someiyoshino cherry trees and mountain cherry blossoms planted along the Sosui is popular. From Tuesday, March 25, 2025, when the cherry blossoms are at their best, "Biwako Otsu Spring Light-up - Cherry Blossoms on Biwako Sosui" will be held, so you can see the beautiful cherry blossoms lit up if you take an evening cruise.
