Enryakuji Temple -kierrokset

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!

10-paikkainen pikkubussi lähti liikkeelle aikaisin klo 7.30. Noin tunnin kuluttua minusta tuntui, että kuljettaja oli torkahtelemassa ja auto ajautui jatkuvasti sivuun. Kun tilanne alkoi tuntua vaaralliselta, aloin jutella kuljettajan kanssa herätelläkseni häntä, ja onneksi saavuimme pian taukopaikalle, mikä sekin herätteli häntä. Tätä asiaa on todella syytä tarkastella kriittisesti, ja toivon teidän ottavan sen vakavasti. Muuten kuljettaja oli kyllä erittäin kohtelias, ja hereillä ollessaan hänen ajonsa oli tasaista ja rauhallista ilman jatkuvaa ylinopeutta, mikä puolestaan ansaitsee kiitosta. Kiitos.

The most memorable excursion, EIKANDO!! Ideally to be done when there are no crowds (which was the case for us on October 27th). Lunch near Sanzen-in (izakaya: "Kyoubijaya", please note cash only payment). Splendid Kifune!

Had a really great experience during this trip. I really enjoyed it a lot. Very, very peaceful and beautiful places across the trip. Our tour driver and guide, Mr. Song, was a very helpful and kind person.

It was my first experience with klook and I couldn't be happier. Even if it was rainy the whole day, we could enjoy the itinerary as described thanks to Effy. She was amazing, she explained everything and was always ready to answer other questions and doubts. I would totally recommend 🌱

Mr, Atsuki Nakagawa made the whole experience simple to follow and understand. he showed us the culture and taught us the history behind it. it was a small group of three so it was really fun. we tried the indoor bath and the outdoor bath the view was amazing in the outdoor bath. and waters are magical.

Nautimme valtavasti tästä päiväretkestä, joka oli täynnä rauhoittavia pyhäkköjä, seesteisiä temppeleitä, luonnonkauneutta sekä turistihenkisiä ostoksia ja ruokailua retken lopussa. Oppaamme Hide oli ystävällinen ja asiantunteva, ja hän kuljetti meidät kaikkialle turvallisesti ja ajoissa. Suosittelemme tätä retkeä kaikille, jotka haluavat nähdä nämä tärkeimmät kohteet ja nähtävyydet ilman huolta kuljetuksista.
