Konan City is located in the south of Shiga Prefecture, and is relatively close to Osaka and Nagoya, the major cities of the Kansai region, making it a very prosperous city. There is also an abundance of nature, with many mountains and forests surrounding the plains, which make up half of the city. One of the main attractions is the Dengaku Teahouse. As the 51st post town on the Tokaido Road's 53 Stations, many people used this area to rest. The Dengaku Teahouse has recreated a single-story building from that time, allowing tourists to take a rest as well. You can also try mashed potatoes, a traditional food of this region. Each household has their own unique way of eating it, but you can experience the traditional taste.
