Omihachiman / Shiga Omihachiman / Shiga Although it was not that far away, for some reason I had not visited Omihachiman. When I went there, I was so attracted by the beautiful cityscape and river that I wondered why I hadn't been there before. The cloudy sky finally cleared up, and it was a very good memory. Everyone! Omihachiman is not so far away, but for some reason I had not visited there before. When I finally went there, I was so charmed by the beautiful cityscape and the river that I wondered why I had never been there before. The cloudy sky cleared up at the end of the tour, and it became a very good memory for me. I hope you will visit there, too!
