Biwako Valley -kierrokset

Mieheni ja minä nautimme todella paljon taptä Shigan opastetusta päiväretkestä! Matkaoppaamme Effy oli erittäin informatiivinen ja piti meidät ajan tasalla aikataulusta koko päivän ajan. Bussi oli siisti ja mukava, ja myös bussinkuljettaja teki loistavaa työtä ajaessaan meitä. Kaikki paikat, joissa kävimme, olivat kauniita ja erittäin luonnonkauniita. Suosittelemme ehdottomasti osallistumaan tälle retkelle osana Japanin-matkaanne.

Matka oli hieman pitkä, mutta itse nähtävyys oli kaunis ja ehdottomasti vaivan arvoinen. Köysirata oli hieman kallis, mutta silti suositeltava. Oppaan osalta oli hieman puutteita, sillä hän onnistui kadottamaan ryhmän jäsenen köysiratalippuja ja kyseli sitten yksitellen, oliko jollakulla ylimääräisiä lippuja. Lippujen hallinnointikykyä voisi parantaa.

Today, due to the holiday, there were heavy crowds and severe traffic congestion. Fortunately, the weather was clear and the scenic beauty far exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Yafei, gave us detailed introductions on the bus in advance regarding the cultural history, local cuisine, and great photo spots for each attraction, which was extremely helpful. Despite the heavy traffic, the guide continuously communicated with the driver to estimate our arrival time and constantly kept us updated on the estimated arrival times and duration of our visits, allowing us to adjust our expectations accordingly. She was very dedicated and responsible. As for the scenery, Lake Biwa is truly stunning with its sparkling waters. Exploring, checking in, and taking photos on the mountain yielded amazing pictures. We experienced both the cable car and the Sky Bridge; the scenery on the mountain was pleasant and expansive, and we had a wonderful time. The only thing to note is that it is windy at the top of the mountain, so it is best to wear a windbreaker and long pants to avoid getting cold. Due to the traffic jams, we only had half an hour to explore and shop at our last stop, La Collina Omihachiman. The tour guide efficiently led us quickly to the cake factory at the very back, allowing us to catch the core scenery just before sunset. The experience was still quite good overall. Generally speaking, thanks to the clear weather and comfortable temperatures, this trip greatly exceeded expectations. The only minor drawback was the traffic, which compressed the time available at each attraction, making it feel a bit like a rushed "special forces" style tour, and the return trip was a bit late. However, overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable time. Special thanks to our dedicated tour guide Yafei, and to the experienced and smooth driver who warmly greeted each of us when getting on and off the bus and helped us with our luggage!

Meillä oli upea aika Himejissä ja Kobessa! Tunnelma oli niin rauhallinen… hidas, tyyni ja seesteinen. Hra Cao on loistava kuljettaja! Hän on erittäin lähestyttävä, ystävällinen ja järjestelmällinen, mikä teki koko matkasta entistäkin nautinnollisemman. \Kaiken kaikkiaan se oli upea kokemus! ✨

It was truly a delightful day trip. The large tour bus was clean and comfortable, and the driver handled it smoothly and steadily. Of course, the most important thing was meeting an excellent tour guide, Xiao Du. He could explain and communicate in three different languages, which was superb! He was gentle, meticulous, and very attentive. He even gave us a bonus (a recommendation for a hidden gem), which added even more color to an already rich itinerary. I'm incredibly grateful. Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up!

We had a wonderful experience with our private car charter in Kyoto! A special thank you to our driver, Aki, who was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating throughout our very long day. The car was immaculately clean, luxurious, spacious, and extremely comfortable, which made traveling around Kyoto throughout the day so enjoyable. Aki never made us feel rushed and allowed us to truly enjoy each stop and take in the beauty of Kyoto. More than just transportation, Aki helped make our day an experience filled with wonderful memories that we will treasure from our visit to Japan. His kindness, patience, and professionalism made such a difference. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend this private car charter—and especially Aki—to anyone visiting Kyoto! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
