Lake Biwa περιηγήσεις

Η Έφη ήταν καταπληκτική, το ίδιο και ο οδηγός του λεωφορείου. Κάθε στάση ήταν υπέροχη. Αγχώθηκα με το ύψος ανεβαίνοντας με την γόνδολα, αλλά η θέα από την κορυφή άξιζε τον κόπο. Όλα ήταν υπέροχα, και η διαδρομή επίσης, μακάρι να μπορούσα να ανεβάσω περισσότερες φωτογραφίες.

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.

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! 😄

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 👍👍👍.

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.

Ο Richard, ο ξεναγός, ήταν εξυπηρετικός και ανταποκρινόταν άμεσα. Η περιήγηση περιλάμβανε όμορφη θέα στο Amanohashidate. Η αναβατήρας και το Sky Cycle ήταν μια σουρεαλιστική εμπειρία στο Amanohashidate Viewland. Η βόλτα με το πλοίο ήταν μια διασκεδαστική εμπειρία ταΐζοντας τους γλάρους και τους ικτίνους στον κόλπο Ine.

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.

an excellent tour, Davide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We would highly recommend going for a great day out of Tokyo
