Review for: Osaka Biwako & Sanzen-in Full-Day Cultural Tour

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.

Review for: Osaka Biwako & Sanzen-in Full-Day Cultural Tour

The tour guide service was excellent, and the chosen itinerary was well-designed, with fewer people and fantastic scenery. I'll definitely choose this service again for future trips; it made traveling alone much easier!

Review for: Osaka Biwako & Sanzen-in Full-Day Cultural Tour

It was a bit of a shame that we decided not to go on the tour on the day itself due to the heavy rain forecast. We informed the tour guide in advance. However, with a greater than 90% chance of rain throughout the entire day, I suggest offering additional insurance options so that people don't waste money. I hope to see beautiful weather and scenery next time I participate.
