A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
豊郷町
Explore an old school building and an Omi merchant’s home in Toyosato, Shiga. These places also have active community uses, so distinguish public areas from spaces used for events.
This guide covers places within Toyosato, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
