You can see that I visited Amenomori Hoshu-an museum. If you are interested in Japan-Korean relations, visit this museum. Nishino Water Tunnel was also interesting. The tunnel has cool air, good place to cool off in summer.
Also Google Map of Takatsuki:

Photo exhibition at Imazu Public Library
I’m holding a photo exhibition now at Imazu Public Library near Omi-Imazu Station (West exit). It will be until July 30.
I’m showing photos of the Imazu Jr. High School Rowing Club’s rowing trip on Biwako which I took last Aug. (also see the above note). I also have photos of Biwako Shuko no Uta.

Also, on Aug. 17 at Imazu, the 3rd Imazu Regatta will be held. This is a rowing race which anyone can participate, even non-experienced rowers. You can even go there alone, and they will put you together with other people to row on the same boat. The race course is only 500 meters. More details at their site:
