Πράγματα που μπορείτε να κάνετε στην πόλη Takashima

Floating Shirahige Shrine Torii Gate and Mangetsu-ji Ukimido floating on Lake Biwa are quite unique and beautiful. La Collina's grass-roof pavilion in Omihachiman also has a bit fairytale-like feel, and her Baumkuchen is worth trying. The only downside was that after several days of heavy rain, the Biwako Valley Ropeway we were supposed to take was under maintenance, so we went to Sanzen-in Monzeki instead. Fortunately, the temple was tranquil and a good place to purify the mind The guide, Mr Roman, was a courteous, thoughtful, and responsible person. He kept accurate time management, provided brief introductions and reminders before reaching each attraction, and thoughtfully catered to the needs of every member of the group. It was a valuable experience.

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。

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 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, Xiao Liu, was very attentive and took care of everyone. He also explained the cultural background on the bus. This one-day tour was really great, no need to rush around every day with a typical tour group. I'll definitely join this type of activity again when I come to Japan in the future. The only downside was that it snowed too much 😅

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.

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.

Ο Casper είναι υπέροχος! Είναι ο καλύτερος ξεναγός που είχα ποτέ σε τόσες πολλές εκδρομές που έχω κάνει. Και τα 4 σημεία της λίμνης Biwa που επισκεφτήκαμε αυτή τη φορά ήταν πανέμορφα, το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα! Ανυπομονώ να συμμετάσχω ξανά σε μια εκδρομή με χιόνι ή με φθινοπωρινά φύλλα!

Naomi was a great tour guide, she was very kind and welcoming. She explained each landmark very well and even recommended other attractions and sites to see in Kyoto. The tour was very timely and Naomi and the driver were able to make the tour work even with the rain going on. This is a great option for people who want to visit all of these locations without having to worry about public transportation.
