1st time to Ryuo-cho, Shiga

Ryuo

I finally visited Ryuo-cho for the first time during New Year’s vacation. It’s easy to forget about Ryuo because it has no train station. But it’s easy to reach from Omi-Hachiman Station by bus (twice an hour or so). The tourist info office at Omi-Hachiman Station also had Ryuo-cho tourist pamphlets/maps which helped me decide where to visit. Many paddies and vegetable fields in Ryuo. Visited Namura Shrine which has a National Treasure and also hiked up Yukinoyama. I have to visit again to hike up Kagamiyama. My pictures of Ryuo: https://photoguide.jp/pix/index.php?cat=175
