Things to do in Otsu

I would say, albeit whatever people tell. The trip went smoothly. Our trip coincide with 3-day weekend, and of course, it is packed with tourist and locals and we adjusted accordingly. Dana (tour guide), was excellent and she even helped me takes picture. I would say, tsking excursion via bus is better as you can sit and relax.

I really didn't expect to have this Miho Museum trip! The tour guide, Casper, put a lot of effort into explaining the cultural differences, history, and festivals of Kanto and Kansai. 🫶🏻 He also proactively helped everyone take photos and flexibly arranged the itinerary so that everyone was very satisfied. 👍🏼 Thank you so much!!!

A wonderful experience! Mitsuko-san was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. Meetup and transfers were easy and lunch was delicious (I had the vegetarian spinach curry). The only improvement I can think of was we only spent 50 min in the Saiko Iyashino Sato Nenba village which I felt was a bit short to experience everything it had to offer. Unfortunately due to the cloudiness we did not see Mount Fuji but had a great time regardless :)

Had a great time exploring Lake Biwa! I was the only non-Chinese speaker in the group, but our guide made sure I was included the whole time—translating key info and checking in with me throughout the tour. I forgot her name, but she was incredibly helpful and friendly. All the stops were beautiful—I loved every place we visited!

the best way to experience long distance places is by booking a tour. a hassle free and having a tour guide managing your time in each places visited. so far i enjoyed every places from this tour. prepare extra cash for ticket ride to The Biwako Terrace. their cafe’s and restaurants accepts CC payment. i did not regret paying to relax and enjoy my drink in the Infinity Lounge. summer was really hot in Japan so i had umbrella and a portable fan.

went there when autumn peak so had a great times viewing the autumn leaves. the tour was on time and a little bit pack with locals since it was holiday in Japan. tip: bring cash and more foods since the time in bus is quite long.

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.

Visited the MIHO Museum, which has a collection of ancient art. Had to pay the entrance fee on-site. Then took a long bus ride to see Biwa Lake and the Torii gate in the water. Ended the trip at an old temple; the highlight was the mirror reflecting the trees. I was the only English speaker on the entire trip; everyone else spoke Chinese. The guide took great care of us, explaining everything well in both languages. It was enjoyable and I got to see new places, but I would recommend spending more time in the Shiga area.

It was very beautiful, and the guide was also very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed it and would recommend anyone to book it, if you come to Japan, you should definitely see Mount Fuji. It is breathtaking and beautiful.
