The area of Toyosato in Shiga offers a peaceful residential setting. An interesting local fact is that the historic Toyosato Elementary School building, built in 1937, was designed by the same American architect, William Merrell Vories, who contributed to many Western-style buildings in Japan and founded the personal care company Mandom. The closest major tourist attraction is the magnificent Hikone Castle, one of Japan's few original castles that has survived since the Edo period, located approximately a 15-minute drive away.
