I dropped in Omihachiman City during my Nakasendo walk.
The city locates on the east coast of Lake Biwa.
Toyotomi Hidetsugu, young brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 16th century, built the town as well as a castle. Many historical buildings still remain.
Many artificial rivers have been developed in the historical area.
Tourist bouts went up and down.
The cherry was fully open. (See the top and 2nd photos)
There stands “Himure Hachiman Shrine” in the area.
The traditional buildings remain in the Shinmachi street.
The city includes Azuchi area, where the ruin of Azuchi Castle remain. Azuchi Castle was developed by Oda Nobunaga, the ruler of Japan between 1570s (before Toyotomi Hideyoshi). The photo was taken in May, 2019.
