Takashima is really wonderful and visiters should consider treating their 5 senses to a relaxing day visit to the rural pleasures to be found here. I know a lot about this area especially the area near my home in Kutsuki. I will be able to show you some of the deeper treasures of Takashima. From my experience, staying at rural hostels while travelling in Europe I understand the heart of the country by meeting local people during my journey. Remote areas need extra time to reach but offer great satisfaction! Takashima is the perfect place to persue my passions of growing vegetables, climing mountains and singing gospel music and I hope to share that feeling with visiters.
高島市はとても素敵な所です。日本滞在中の１日をゆったりとした時間の流れの中であなたの五感が喜ぶ体験をしてみませんか？高島市内のことは勿論、特に朽木は詳しいです。より深い高島をお見せしましょう。私は欧州旅行中、田舎のホステルに泊まった経験から、地元の人々と出会い、その国をより知ることができました。遠隔地に行くにはさらに時間がかかりますが、得るものは大きいです。趣味は野菜作り、登山、ゴスペルです。
Hello. Toshihiro Oe. 'I'm a 72-year-old local man. Call me 'Chikara' for short. After high school, I had ten years of urban life in Kyoto and Tokyo. At 28, I came back to become a high school English teacher. Why? The scenery from JR Kosei line was too magnificent to stay away. and I thought it precious to live with growing kids here. I enjoyed climbing with students. Now I devote in taking care of vegetable gardens and our grandson. In addition to my own experiences I have heard a lot from my late grandmother and the people of her age about the life and incidents they had near Lake Biwa. Come see and hear.

I was born and raised here, so I know Takashima well. Especially Imazu-cho is familiar with everywhere. So please leave it to me. In addition, I have been guiding foreigners as volunteers for many years. I am also closely involved with ALT teachers living in imazu-cho and have a good relationship. I would like to make use of that experience as a translator guide.
この地で生まれ育ったので高島市の事はよく知っています。特に、今津町内は隅々まで熟知しておりますので任してください。又、長年に渡りボランティアで外国人を案内してきました。今津町に住まれているALTの先生とも親密に関わっており信頼関係を結んでおります。その経験を活かして通訳ガイドをしていきたいと思います。
