Πράγματα που μπορείτε να κάνετε στην πόλη Otsu

We had a wonderful experience with Carina during our Kyoto – Lake Biwa and La Collina day trip. She was incredibly kind, considerate, and professional throughout the entire tour. Despite the uncertain weather conditions, she thoughtfully checked with all of us to see if we still wanted to proceed with the itinerary, making sure everyone was comfortable and informed. Carina was always punctual, well-organized, and friendly. Her warm personality made the trip enjoyable and relaxing, and she created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone in the group. She was attentive to our needs, patient with questions, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best experience possible. Thank you, Carina, for your excellent guidance, positive attitude, and dedication. You made our trip memorable, and we would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Great weather all day. Got to see some beautiful sights, though if I'd known Biwako Valley would be so cold up there, I would've brought my jacket. Anyways thank you for being patient with me. seemed like I was the naughty one in this group tour😅and I really appreciate the guide Peter for taking photos, it meant a lot to us which is why I give 5 stars. 很好的天气，也看到了一些美丽的景色。还有很感谢导游Peter帮我们拍照，真的很高兴。

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

Πρόκειται για μια ουσιαστική περιήγηση που καλύπτει τέσσερις τοποθεσίες: Shirahige Shrine, Sanzen-in, Mangetsuji και La Collina. Επιλέξαμε να επισκεφτούμε την περιοχή Shiga, η οποία είναι λιγότερο γνωστή στην περιοχή Kinki, και ήταν υπέροχο να δούμε τη μεγάλη και όμορφη λίμνη Biwa. Το Sanzen-in, το οποίο συμπεριλήφθηκε ως εναλλακτική λύση για το παρατηρητήριο της λίμνης Biwa κατά τη χειμερινή περίοδο, ήταν δυστυχώς ένας ναός που ανήκε στην επαρχία του Κιότο. Προσωπικά, θα προτιμούσα ένα πρόγραμμα που να περιλαμβάνει μόνο αξιοθέατα της επαρχίας Shiga, εξαιρουμένου του Sanzen-in. Φαίνεται ότι χρειάζεται να βελτιωθεί η εικόνα της επαρχίας Shiga μέσω τέτοιων περιηγήσεων. Δυστυχώς, το λεωφορείο (18 θέσεων) ήταν κάπως παλιό και πλήρως κρατημένο, χωρίς διαθέσιμες θέσεις, οπότε αν κάποιος καθόταν σε μια κακή θέση, θα έπρεπε να υπομείνει την ταλαιπωρία ενός μεγάλου ταξιδιού.

The driver was excellent and drove very safely. From start to finish, the trip felt like being guided by a friend. He took care of my family and me meticulously. The car was clean, and the itinerary was comfortably and appropriately arranged. Five-star rating!

The Miho Museum is truly stunning. It's remarkable how much effort an organization can put into promoting and disseminating aesthetics, from collecting and displaying exhibits to constructing the museum itself. Visitors to this secluded mountain location will undoubtedly be awestruck and impressed by this architectural masterpiece that rose from nothing. The quaint Bamboo Forest Garden is charming and compact. According to the introduction, it was once a training dormitory for monks from Enryaku-ji Temple. Enjoying matcha while gazing at the garden is quite therapeutic and relaxing. Shirahige Shrine, especially on a clear day, offers beautiful photo opportunities, and its omamori (charms) are also lovely. After a full day of sightseeing, I actually felt incredibly relaxed and peaceful.

Our tour guide, Mia, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her explanations in both English and Chinese were excellent. She's a five-star guide! The Miho Museum is definitely worth visiting, and it was absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season. We were also very lucky to encounter a festival when we visited Chikurin-in Temple, and the torii gate on Lake Biwa was beautiful as well.

Excellent experience to bike around local temples and world heritage spots around the Gion area. Miki our guide, adopted our itinerary based on our interest and limited time. It was nice to see some of sites before the 9 am rush of tourist. This e-bike is perfect for those who comfortable riding bikes in city traffic and some uphill climbs. We had a beautiful experience visiting the sites in the this part of Kyoto.

Many thanks to our guide, Xiaoyu, who was incredibly helpful. The area around Lake Biwa is perfect for a leisurely exploration, and first-time visitors on a tour can hit the major attractions. Be sure to bring a thick jacket and enough cash before heading up to the top of Mount Biwa. The view from the summit is like a fairyland, but it's also very cold up there. Tourists accustomed to using Alipay everywhere in big cities for taxis and subways might be spoiled, but it's still a good idea to have some cash when visiting less-traveled spots. I exchanged money with our guide on the spot. Fortunately, Japan doesn't constantly demand exorbitant tips like in the US, nor does it pressure you into buying things excessively like in some other countries. It's very professional and well-regulated.
