I had such a great time on this tour! 💗 Our guide, Carina, was really kind, communicative, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. It was a great mix of beautiful nature spots - my favorite was the Biwako Terrace and La Collina (the baumkuchen there is amazing! I’d recommend getting a freshly baked slice 😍) I’d wholeheartedly recommend the is experience for anyone who wants to see some lesser-known spots in this area :)

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.

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!

This trip included the historic Sanzen-in Temple, Shirahige Shrine with its torii gate in the water, Mangetsuji Temple, and "La Collina Omihachiman," Shiga Prefecture's first Baumkuchen specialty store—"Fairy Tale Town." Except for the Sanzen-in area, where we stayed for about 2 hours, the other attractions were about 1 hour each. In addition to experiencing Japanese culture, historical architecture, and high-latitude climate, we also enjoyed exquisite and delicious cakes. Furthermore, our guide, Liu Du, was very kind and professional, explaining each attraction very diligently and thoroughly, which greatly enhanced the entire trip. We were very fortunate to have such a great guide and attractions, and we will definitely choose a similar trip again in the future.

We went during the off-season near April where the Biwako terrace is closed. The attractions were a good mix of traditional and exciting. Guide Liu speaks Mandarin Chinese very clearly and with a soothing voice, and also speaks decent English and Japanese. He has an energetic personality and good knowledge about the attractions and other related matters as well. For example, he was able to describe in depth La Collina's different areas and attractions. Bus driver Yamaguchi drives safely and carefully, and has a clean bus. The tour bus format is also particularly suited to this area as you get to take the scenery of Biwako and the surrounding mountain ranges in. One thing I would caution though is that the weather can make or break the experience.

Great 4.0

We joined a one-day tour to cruise Lake Biwa. We departed from Osaka, then went to Kyoto to pick up other tour members. First, we visited Shirahige Shrine. The torii gate in the lake was unique, but we could only take photos from the other side of the road, not up close, which was a bit of a shame. Afterward, we went to Biwako Valley, which is essentially a resort. We had to pay 5,500 yen ourselves to take the cable car up the mountain to see the full view of Lake Biwa, and we also paid for our own lunch there. In the afternoon, we went to Ukimido Temple, where we also had to pay a 300 yen admission fee. Finally, we visited a century-old cake shop, where we waited in line to buy expensive Baumkuchen. The overall trip was decent. Due to traffic during Golden Week, we didn't return to Osaka until after 8 PM, which made the day quite long. Many thanks to the tour guide and driver for their hard work and care throughout the day.

This tour was fun. Bus was on time. The trip was smooth. This is the best if you want to save time visiting Biwako Valley. Shout out to Yuki our tour guide! She was working so hard explaining everything both in Mandarin and English. She gave clear instructions and is friendly too. This trip is highly recommended!

The trip was amazing. Our guide Kazama was very informative about the places that we are going to. The entire Lake Biwa Trip was breathtaking, though it was a long trip, it was still full of fond memories.
