Ting at lave i Lake Biwa

Min mand og jeg nød denne guidede dagstur til Shiga rigtig meget! Vores rejseleder Effy var meget informativ og holdði os opdateret hele dagen med hensyn til rejseplanen. Bussen var ren og behagelig, og bussen chauffør gjorde det også rigtig godt med at køre os. Alle de steder, vi besøgte, var smukke og meget naturskønne. Vi vil helt klart anbefale at tage på denne tur som en del af din rejse til Japan.

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! 😄

Her er en ærlig anmeldelse af tre store attraktioner i Shiga-præfekturet (Shirahige-helligdommen, Biwako Terrace, La Collina Omihachiman). 1. Shirahige-helligdommen Jeg var lidt skuffet, måske fordi mine forventninger var høje. Vand-torii'en ligger på den anden side af vejen, hvilket gør det farligt at krydse, og den skal ses på afstand, så det var svært at nyde den ordentligt. Selve helligdommen har heller ikke meget at byde på, så den er bedst egnet som et hurtigt stop på vejen. 2. Biwako Terrace Dette var uden tvivl højdepunktet på turen. Panoramaudsigten over Biwa-søen fra terrassens café var virkelig spektakulær, og jeg var yderst tilfreds med at kunne nyde den afslappede atmosfære i de åbne omgivelser. 3. La Collina Omihachiman Der var alt for mange mennesker, og det var svært at nyde den unikke stemning i ro og mag på grund af folkemængden. Den mest populære dessert, kagerne, er også en smagssag. Dog var bygningerne med græstag og udsigten over haven smukke, hvilket gjorde det til et fremragende sted at tage billeder.

Peggy, our tour guide was awesome and very helpful, while the tour itself was really nice. First time riding a lift.

Dagen før dagsturen modtog vi en e-mail fra vores guide, Sun Jiaxue (Yuki), med detaljeret rejseplan, vigtige oplysninger, mødested og kontaktoplysninger. Da der var omkring 20 personer i gruppen, kørte vi i en stor bus. Før dagsturen startede og lige inden vi nåede destinationen, forklarede guide Yuki detaljeret om turen og vigtige punkter. Hun brugte også Line til at minde os om rejseplanen og opsamlingssteder. Rejseplan 1: Miho Museum – I.M. Peis paradis. Alle, der studerer arkitektur, bør opleve mesterens arkitektoniske design og integration med omgivelserne. Frokost var for egen regning, og risbollerne og Miho-tofuen i restauranten ved billetkontoret er værd at prøve. (Billeder 1-3) Rejseplan 2: Hiyoshi Taisha-helligdommen på Hiei-bjerget – Hovedhelligdommen for Japans over 3800 Hie-, Hiyoshi- og Sanno-helligdomme, hvor aber fungerer som gudernes budbringere. (Billede 4) Rejseplan 3: Shirahige-helligdommen ved Biwa-søen, vandtorii – Legenden om det sted, der er tættest på guderne. (Billeder 5-6) Tak til vores guide Yuki og buschaufføren for deres service på dagsturen i dag, som gav vores familie på fire en berigende oplevelse.

The facility was beautiful and interesting, and one hour wasn't enough. I learned a lot about the formation and history of Lake Biwa, as well as its creatures and plants. There was also an exhibition room that felt like an aquarium. I had an errand, so I left once and then re-entered. The closing time was 5 PM, so I was there for about two hours in total, but I would have liked to take more time if I had it. Lake Biwa was right in front of me, and it was very beautiful and refreshing. I was also happy that parking was free and that children up to high school age could enter for free.

few tourists. everything went smoothly and on time, the QR code was converted directly into tickets

Richard the tour guide was helpful and responsive. The tour included beautiful views in Amanohashidate. Chairlift and Sky Cycle were a surreal experience at Amanohashidate Viewland. Boat ride was a fun experience feeding the Seagulls and Kites at Ine Bay.

Our tour guide was Ms. Effy Ya-fei, who speaks Mandarin, English, and Japanese. She was very patient with our questions, and her communication was clear and well-organized. She thoughtfully sent an email before departure with her contact information, and on the day of the tour, she kept us updated via a messaging app group. Before arriving at each attraction, she would give us helpful tips on what to look out for. We were all very satisfied with the arrangements 👍🏻
