Πράγματα που μπορείτε να κάνετε στην πόλη Takashima

Ο σύζυγός μου κι εγώ απολαύσαμε πολύ αυτήν την ημερήσια εκδρομή με ξεναγό στη Shiga! Η ξεναγός μας, η Effy, ήταν πολύ ενημερωμένη και μας κρατούσε ενήμερους καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της ημέρας σχετικά με το πρόγραμμα. Το λεωφορείο ήταν καθαρό και άνετο και ο οδηγός έκανε επίσης εξαιρετική δουλειά στην οδήγηση. Όλα τα μέρη που επισκεφθήκαμε ήταν πανέμορφα και πολύ γραφικά. Σίγουρα το συνιστούμε ως μέρος του ταξιδιού σας στην Ιαπωνία.

Here's an honest and straightforward review of three major attractions in Shiga Prefecture: Shirahige Shrine, Biwako Terrace, and La Collina Omihachiman. 1. Shirahige Shrine Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The torii gate in the water is located across the road, making it dangerous to cross and difficult to appreciate properly from a distance. The shrine itself doesn't offer much to see, so it's best suited as a quick stop. 2. Biwako Terrace This was definitely the highlight of my trip. The panoramic view of Lake Biwa from the terrace cafe was truly spectacular, and I was most satisfied with being able to relax amidst the expansive scenery. 3. La Collina Omihachiman It was so crowded that it was hard to leisurely soak in the unique atmosphere. The signature dessert, the confectionery, also tends to be a hit or miss in terms of taste. However, the grass-roofed buildings and the garden views were beautiful, making it an excellent spot for taking photos.

The day before the one-day tour, we received an email from our tour guide, Sun Jiaxue (Yuki), detailing the itinerary, important notes, meeting point, and contact information. Since there were about 20 people in our group, we traveled by large bus. At the start of the one-day tour and just before reaching our destination, our guide Yuki provided detailed explanations and important information. She also used Line to send reminders about the itinerary and pickup locations. Itinerary Stop 1: Miho Museum - I.M. Pei's Utopia. Anyone studying architecture must experience the master's architectural design and its integration with the environment. Lunch was at our own expense; the rice balls and Miho tofu at the ticket center's restaurant are worth trying. (Photos 1-3) Itinerary Stop 2: Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine on Mount Hiei - This is the head shrine for over 3,800 Hie, Hiyoshi, and Sanno shrines across Japan, known for monkeys serving as messengers of the gods. (Photo 4) Itinerary Stop 3: Shirahige Shrine and Water Torii Gate on Lake Biwa - A legendary spot said to be closest to the gods. (Photos 5-6) Many thanks to our tour guide Yuki and the driver for their excellent service on today's one-day tour. Our family of four had a truly enriching experience.

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.

During our trip to Japan, we stayed in Kyoto. My husband and I wanted to visit Lake Biwa, but since we were traveling independently, we opted for a convenient one-day tour. It was great not having to worry about transportation, and our tour guide was very professional, able to switch between Chinese, Japanese, and English.

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 👍🏻

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.

Nick introduced the attractions and Japanese culture during the car ride. The trip went smoothly, and although the weather in July was very hot, the Miho Museum was still well worth visiting. It offers different scenery in different seasons and is truly an ideal paradise!

Ήταν μια πραγματικά ευχάριστη ημερήσια εκδρομή. Το μεγάλο τουριστικό λεωφορείο ήταν καθαρό και άνετο, και ο οδηγός οδηγούσε ομαλά και σταθερά. Φυσικά, το πιο σημαντικό ήταν ότι συναντήσαμε έναν εξαιρετικό ξεναγό, τον Xiao Du. Μπορούσε να εξηγεί και να επικοινωνεί σε τρεις διαφορετικές γλώσσες, ήταν άψογος 👍. Ήταν ευγενικός, προσεκτικός και φρόντιζε τα πάντα. Μας έδωσε επίσης ένα «πασχαλινό αυγό» (μια σύσταση για ένα κρυφό αξιοθέατο), το οποίο πρόσθεσε ακόμα περισσότερο χρώμα στην ήδη πλούσια εκδρομή μας. Είμαστε βαθιά ευγνώμονες, μπράβο, μπράβο, μπράβο 👍👍👍.
