I&#8217;m still working on it. If you want to help me list up the sights of your city in English, I would welcome your input very much. I have only seen the kite festival, Notogawa waterwheel, and Eigenji. I know there are many more sights in HigashiOmi. JR Notogawa Station is probably Shiga&#8217;s nicest train station (shaped like a waterwheel on both sides).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Changing the subject, I also found photo albums of HigashiOmi&#8217;s sister city exchange with Marquette this past summer.
