We are excited to announce the "SAMPOichi" Marche Event on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th!

This marks the second time for "SAMPOichi." It's a marche (market) event where you can stroll through the historic townscape and Omi Merchant residences of Gokasho, and enjoy encounters with various vendors who each embody the philosophy of "Sanpo Yoshi" (good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society).
