Things to do in Mount Hiei

Tour guide Andy’s explanation of each attraction was very interesting, allowing me to learn more besides just seeing the attractions.

Although there was no guide on that day . we still agreed to do this trip.Our chinese driver took a great care of us. My husband could under little lit chinese so it was fine and other people in our van also explained well to us. we had greattt time. although it was raining but all the places were soooo beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to our eyes. i would love. to go back again and spend a day in these places.

Great trip!! The tour guide was Xiaoyu, a very energetic, cute and attentive girl. It rained heavily that morning and Xiaoyu negotiated with us to slightly change the order of the trip. Fortunately, it stopped raining when we got to Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa is beautiful. Mom and Dad were also very satisfied! Thank you very much~

great experience. staff is wonderful!

Perfect if you’re looking for a traditional and peaceful tea ceremony, no gimmicks and with a strong focus on the tea ceremony, a true sensory experience experience!

The tour guide CC~sleeps on the bus~takes photos when he gets off the bus~. He is quite considerate to those who need to rest after a self-guided tour!

The trip is very fulfilling, the scenery is very suitable for photography, super good looking!

I thought this would be a fun experience to do with my 18 year old son. He loved it and so did I! The instructors were fun, engaging and thorough in explaining how to mold these steel stars into fierce and sharp little works of art. The forge was magical with the bright sparks in the darkened room. From stamping the kanji to the little wooden boxes, it was so much fun. This was one of our highlights of an incredible trip to Japan.
