For those in need of good fortune (especially longevity), a visit to the famous Shirahige Shrine Torii is a must. The shrine that sits atop Lake Biwa can be photographed from the ground-level lookout spot, but with a drone, you can capture the expansive landscape of the blue rippling water.

This drone image was taken above Shirahige Shrine Torii, which is on Lake Biwa in Takashima. You'll need a car to access this location, so if you don't have one, I recommend renting a car.
To get there, take National Route 161 from Takashima City and follow the GPS coordinates, located right off the road. This will take you to the GPS coordinates where I stood to launch my drone.
