The itinerary was well arranged and compact. Fortunately, most of the group members were punctual. The tour guide's explanation was also clear, which was good! Because it was not inclusive, there were no rest stops along the way, so there was no food to replenish. You can try to improve the route and it will be more perfect. It is worth noting that the scenery at the Biwa Lake Observation Deck is beautiful and there is plenty of time, but the food is really average and expensive, so it is best to bring your own

I really like this route today. I saw the water torii⛩️, Lake Biwa, and the alpine grasslands I like very much, and ate delicious ice cream. The tour guide, Miss Wu Fengyu, was great and kind. She also helped me communicate with the hotel to make sure that the water cup left in the hotel was still there. Thank you very much. I had a great time today.

The tour guide was very good. Before the trip, he also helped check whether there were any vegetarian meals in the scenic area and told us to prepare our own meals. The only drawback of this trip was that it rained when we took the cable car in Lake Biwa, which resulted in limited views when we were in the cable car and on the terrace, but this cannot be blamed on anyone. I will come to Lake Biwa again next time I have the chance.

The route was smooth, the time arrangement was suitable, the weather was very good, the clouds were a bit thick and I couldn't see Lake Biwa very clearly, but everything else was great

The itinerary was well arranged, and we visited three or four places. The transportation was convenient. The tour guide also arranged it well. Sanzen-in Temple is very beautiful and worth visiting. The Ukimido Temple in Mangetsu-ji Temple is a small Buddhist temple in Lake Biwa, which is also very beautiful. The torii gate of Shirahige Shrine in the lake was disappointing. There was nothing to see, and we could only see the torii gate from a distance. I didn't have any expectations for La Collina Omihachiman, but I thought it was quite beautiful after arriving.

The tour guide arranged the itinerary reasonably and flexibly. Due to heavy rain, we changed to visit Sanzen-in Temple. He also carefully explained the characteristics of the scenic spots on the way. Thanks again to the tour guide and driver for making the best travel arrangements in the bad weather.
