Какво да правите в Lake Biwa

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the tour. Special thanks to our tour guide, 郑雅菲, for her guidance, and to the bus driver for ensuring a safe and smooth journey throughout our day trip. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, with rain and mist throughout the day, we still appreciated the opportunity to take the ropeway, walk across the Sky Bridge, and capture beautiful photos along the way. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and truly appreciate the efforts of the tour guide and bus driver. Thank you!

Това беше първото ми преживяване с klook и не бих могъл да бъда по-щастлив. Въпреки че вали цял ден, успяхме да се насладим на програмата така, както беше описана, благодарение на Ефи. Тя беше невероятна, обясни всичко и винаги беше готова да отговори на други въпроси и съмнения. Напълно я препоръчвам 🌱

This was my first time joining a KLOOK one-day tour, and from the start, I was impressed by our guide Liu Du's professionalism. He seamlessly switched between Chinese, English, and Japanese for the tour commentary (speaking with a gentle and refined local charm). Throughout the trip, he was very attentive and caring towards the group members, providing detailed explanations. He was also very clear about pick-up/drop-off points and time management. At the Lake Biwa observation deck, he recommended we take the second cable car up to the very top to enjoy 360-degree views, and also suggested trying Omi beef steak, among other things. All of these experiences left us with wonderful memories of Kyoto. Thank you, Liu Du, and thank you, KLOOK, for such a fantastic tour. We look forward to seeing you again next time!

This tour does not include the Biwako Valley ropeway tickets, but you can buy them on Klook, which is cheaper than buying them on-site. If you choose to board at Kyoto Station and get off at Osaka Station, your luggage can be stored on the tour bus. Look for staff wearing yellow vests with "gogoday" to check in. There are many tour groups on the same day, but overall the itinerary is very good and highly recommended. 08:00 Kani Doraku Dotonbori Higashi Store 09:20 Kyoto Station Hachijo-guchi Tourist Bus Parking Lot 10:20 (Stop for 30 min) Shirahige Shrine 11:30 (Stop for 3 hours) Biwako Terrace 15:30 (Stop for 1 hour) La Collina Omihachiman 16:30 Scheduled return departure 17:40 Kyoto Station Hachijo-guchi Tourist Bus Parking Lot 18:40 Kani Doraku Dotonbori Higashi Store

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

Our guide Louis was extremely kind. Even though it was a day for English and Chinese-guided tours and we were the only Korean couple, he kindly guided us in Korean and even sent explanations via KakaoTalk, so we had a very comfortable and pleasant trip. Not to mention the scenery and our overall satisfaction haha. Thank you once again. Highly recommended a million times!

Ден преди еднодневната екскурзия получих имейл от екскурзоводката Сун Дзясюдзи (Юки) с подробния маршрут, важни забележки, място на срещата и данни за връзка. Тъй като групата беше от около 20 души, този път пътувахме с голям автобус. В началото на екскурзията и малко преди достигане на дестинацията екскурзоводката Юки обясняваше подробно всичко необходимо и даваше указания, като също така използваше Line, за да ни напомня за важни детайли от програмата или местата за качване. Първа спирка: Музеят „Михо“ – утопията на Ай Дяомин (И. М. Пей). Всеки, който изучава архитектура, задължително трябва да усети как майсторът е съчетал архитектурния дизайн с околната среда. Обядът е за собствена сметка, като оризовите топки и тофуто в ресторанта на билетния център определено си заслужават опита (снимки 1-3). Втора спирка: Храмът „Хийоши Тайша“ в планината Хией – главното светилище на над 3800 светилища „Хие“, „Хийоши“ и „Сано“, известно със своите маймуни като пратеници на боговете (снимка 4). Трета спирка: Шрайнът „Ширасу“ край езерото Бива и неговото тории във водата – легендата за мястото, най-близко до божествата (снимки 5-6). Благодарим на днешната екскурзоводка Юки и шофьора за чудесното обслужване, благодарение на което нашето четиричленно семейство се върна с пълни ръце с впечатления и прекрасни емоции.

The travel distance was a bit long, but the attraction itself was beautiful, making it well worth it. The cable car was a bit expensive, but still recommended. As for the tour guide, they were a bit disorganized; they actually lost a group member's cable car ticket and then went around asking if anyone had an extra. Their ticket management skills could definitely be improved.

Tour guide Zhang Yanjin was extremely nice 👍 He drove smoothly, provided just the right amount of information, and kindly answered all our questions. I felt the time allocated for each stop was well planned. Also, thank you to all the fellow travelers who joined today—even though there were only 8 of us, everyone was quite punctual! ✅ I recommend renting an audio guide at Miho Museum ✅ (The last photo of Shirahige Shrine was edited because of bad weather 🤣)
