Things to do in Takashima

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.

Our day was made all the more special thanks to Mia's outstanding guidance and support. Her enthusiasm and work ethic are a testament to her excellence as a guide.

Lucky to have met a great tour guide - Guo Yaping ❤️ The tour guide is very friendly and responds quickly to any questions! She also seriously introduces the attractions and what's good to eat and fun to do 🥰 I always thought Sanzen-in Temple was too far, and I hadn't been there in five trips to Kyoto, but I finally got to go on this Klook tour and I really liked it 🤩 I recommend it to everyone! I hope everyone is lucky enough to meet my tour guide 💕

the snow is amazing! slopes are very gentle for beginners. the guide is very helpful and friendly. fuss free and easy! highly recommend this! you may ask for snowboarding lesson when you’re there too.

Our Tour guide lends a hand always(needed or not). Btw, as much as I want to gatekeep the Lake Biwa tour, But this wqs a surprise! I didn't expect much, Voila! IT WAS SO GOOD!

Great day trip - make sure you take the time to scope out where to meet. if you give yourself enough time to find the group sightseeing tours bus stop (in front of Kyoto Avanti and across the road from Kyoto Station) you’ll be fine.

There are 10 groups of guests, so we arranged for a large bus. Our tour guide, Zhao, was the only one out of the 3 tours I took during my entire trip to Japan who would proactively WhatsApp the pick-up time in advance. The drive to Shiga is quite long, so those staying in Osaka should be prepared for a round trip of almost 6 hours.

the place is so nice with amazing view we enjoyed all free activies like snowsled we build snowman and it was fun experience we will come again next time the tour guide os so helpful the location is a little bit far but enjoy the view while travelling to the resort

Experience: First time skiing ⛷️ Challenged myself with two skis, my friend chose a snowboard, but surprisingly the same instructor taught both 🤣 Ski equipment: Absolutely must buy ——— ski gloves 🧤🧤 Helmets and ski goggles can be rented on-site Tour guide: This time our tour guide was Mia, she proactively contacted us beforehand to confirm the meeting location and time, very friendly! Safety: I don't know why the first pair of skis I rented didn't fit, and the second pair I exchanged for were easy to detach from the ski boots (huh). If possible, I still recommend paying special attention when renting... Oh oh oh right! The instructor we were paired with this time taught using a "feeling-based" approach, and because it was a group class, one-on-one explanations weren't possible. Later, the tour guide Mia spent extra time guiding me step-by-step, which helped me finally get the feeling of successfully gliding 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Best MVP of this experience ⭐️⭐️🌟🌟 Scenery: There's a photo spot (?) behind the cabin that looks like a mirror of the sky 🤣
