Takashima Egynapos kirándulások

Floating Shirahige Shrine Torii Gate and Mangetsu-ji Ukimido floating on Lake Biwa are quite unique and beautiful. La Collina's grass-roof pavilion in Omihachiman also has a bit fairytale-like feel, and her Baumkuchen is worth trying. The only downside was that after several days of heavy rain, the Biwako Valley Ropeway we were supposed to take was under maintenance, so we went to Sanzen-in Monzeki instead. Fortunately, the temple was tranquil and a good place to purify the mind The guide, Mr Roman, was a courteous, thoughtful, and responsible person. He kept accurate time management, provided brief introductions and reminders before reaching each attraction, and thoughtfully catered to the needs of every member of the group. It was a valuable experience.

Great weather all day. Got to see some beautiful sights, though if I'd known Biwako Valley would be so cold up there, I would've brought my jacket. Anyways thank you for being patient with me. seemed like I was the naughty one in this group tour😅and I really appreciate the guide Peter for taking photos, it meant a lot to us which is why I give 5 stars. 很好的天气，也看到了一些美丽的景色。还有很感谢导游Peter帮我们拍照，真的很高兴。

Ez egy tartalmas túra, amely négy helyszínt érint: Shirahige-jinja szentély, Sanzen-in templom, Mangetsu-ji templom és La Collina. Azért választottam, hogy megismerjem Shiga prefektúrát, amely kevésbé ismert a Kinki régióban, és örültem, hogy láthattam a hatalmas és gyönyörű Biwa-tavat. Sajnos a Sanzen-in templom, amelyet a téli szezonban a Biwa-tó kilátó helyett iktattak be, Kyoto prefektúrában található. Személy szerint jobban örülnék, ha a Sanzen-in kihagyásával csak Shiga prefektúra látványosságai szerepelnének az útitervben. Úgy tűnik, Shiga prefektúrának szüksége van egy kis imázsjavításra a túrák terén. Sajnos egy kissé elöregedett (18 személyes) buszon utaztunk, amely teljesen tele volt, így ha rossz ülőhelyet kap az ember, el kell viselnie a hosszú utazás okozta kényelmetlenségeket.

The Miho Museum is truly stunning. It's remarkable how much effort an organization can put into promoting and disseminating aesthetics, from collecting and displaying exhibits to constructing the museum itself. Visitors to this secluded mountain location will undoubtedly be awestruck and impressed by this architectural masterpiece that rose from nothing. The quaint Bamboo Forest Garden is charming and compact. According to the introduction, it was once a training dormitory for monks from Enryaku-ji Temple. Enjoying matcha while gazing at the garden is quite therapeutic and relaxing. Shirahige Shrine, especially on a clear day, offers beautiful photo opportunities, and its omamori (charms) are also lovely. After a full day of sightseeing, I actually felt incredibly relaxed and peaceful.

Our tour guide, Xiao Liu, was very attentive and took care of everyone. He also explained the cultural background on the bus. This one-day tour was really great, no need to rush around every day with a typical tour group. I'll definitely join this type of activity again when I come to Japan in the future. The only downside was that it snowed too much 😅

Ezúttal Mia idegenvezetőnk nagyon kedves és figyelmes volt, az angol és kínai nyelvű magyarázatai is kiválóak voltak, egy ötcsillagos idegenvezető! A Miho látványosság nagyon megéri a látogatást, ráadásul a cseresznyevirágzás idején egyszerűen gyönyörű volt. Nagy szerencsénk volt, hogy a bambuszerdőben lévő templomnál éppen egy fesztiválba botlottunk, és a Biwa-tó vízi torii kapuja is rendkívül szép volt.

Casper is amazing! He's the best guide I've had on the many tours I've taken. The four Lake Biwa spots we visited this time were all beautiful. I recommend everyone to participate in this tour! I look forward to participating again next time during the snowy season or the autumn foliage season!

Naomi was a great tour guide, she was very kind and welcoming. She explained each landmark very well and even recommended other attractions and sites to see in Kyoto. The tour was very timely and Naomi and the driver were able to make the tour work even with the rain going on. This is a great option for people who want to visit all of these locations without having to worry about public transportation.
