Lake Biwa චාරිකා

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the tour. Special thanks to our tour guide, 郑雅菲, for her guidance, and to the bus driver for ensuring a safe and smooth journey throughout our day trip. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, with rain and mist throughout the day, we still appreciated the opportunity to take the ropeway, walk across the Sky Bridge, and capture beautiful photos along the way. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and truly appreciate the efforts of the tour guide and bus driver. Thank you!

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 🌱

This tour does not include the Biwako Valley ropeway tickets, but you can buy them on Klook, which is cheaper than buying them on-site. If you choose to board at Kyoto Station and get off at Osaka Station, your luggage can be stored on the tour bus. Look for staff wearing yellow vests with "gogoday" to check in. There are many tour groups on the same day, but overall the itinerary is very good and highly recommended. 08:00 Kani Doraku Dotonbori Higashi Store 09:20 Kyoto Station Hachijo-guchi Tourist Bus Parking Lot 10:20 (Stop for 30 min) Shirahige Shrine 11:30 (Stop for 3 hours) Biwako Terrace 15:30 (Stop for 1 hour) La Collina Omihachiman 16:30 Scheduled return departure 17:40 Kyoto Station Hachijo-guchi Tourist Bus Parking Lot 18:40 Kani Doraku Dotonbori Higashi Store

KLOOK හි එක්දින සංචාරයකට මා සහභාගී වූ පළමු අවස්ථාව මෙයයි. ආරම්භයේ සිටම, මම අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශක ලියු ඩුගේ වෘත්තීයභාවය අගය කළෙමි. ඔහු චීන, ඉංග්‍රීසි සහ ජපන් භාෂා තුනෙන්ම මාරුවෙන් මාරුවට මඟ පෙන්වූ අතර (ඔහුගේ කතාබහ මෘදු හා දේශීය චමත්කාරයෙන් පිරී තිබුණි), සංචාරය පුරාම කණ්ඩායම් සාමාජිකයන් ගැන සැලකිලිමත් විය. ඔහු ඉතා සවිස්තරාත්මක පැහැදිලි කිරීම් ලබා දුන් අතර, බස් රථයට නැගීම සහ බැසීම මෙන්ම වේලාව කළමනාකරණය කිරීම පිළිබඳවද පැහැදිලිව දැන සිටියේය. බිවා විල නිරීක්ෂණ තට්ටුවේදී, ඔහු අපට 360-අංශක දසුනක් දැකීමට ඉහළට යාමට දෙවන කේබල් කාර් එක ගැනීමටත්, ඕමි ස්ටීක් රස බැලීමටත් නිර්දේශ කළේය. මේ සියල්ලෙන් කියෝතෝ පිළිබඳ අපට ඉතා සුන්දර මතකයන් ඉතිරි විය. ලියු ඩුට ස්තූතියි, KLOOK හි මෙම අපූරු සංචාරයට ස්තූතියි, ඊළඟ වතාවේදී නැවත හමුවීමට බලාපොරොත්තු වෙමි!

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

The day before the one-day tour, we received an email from our tour guide, Sun Jiaxue (Yuki), detailing the itinerary, important notes, meeting point, and contact information. Since there were about 20 people in our group, we traveled by large bus. At the start of the one-day tour and just before reaching our destination, our guide Yuki provided detailed explanations and important information. She also used Line to send reminders about the itinerary and pickup locations. Itinerary Stop 1: Miho Museum - I.M. Pei's Utopia. Anyone studying architecture must experience the master's architectural design and its integration with the environment. Lunch was at our own expense; the rice balls and Miho tofu at the ticket center's restaurant are worth trying. (Photos 1-3) Itinerary Stop 2: Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine on Mount Hiei - This is the head shrine for over 3,800 Hie, Hiyoshi, and Sanno shrines across Japan, known for monkeys serving as messengers of the gods. (Photo 4) Itinerary Stop 3: Shirahige Shrine and Water Torii Gate on Lake Biwa - A legendary spot said to be closest to the gods. (Photos 5-6) Many thanks to our tour guide Yuki and the driver for their excellent service on today's one-day tour. Our family of four had a truly enriching experience.

Our guide Louis was extremely kind. Even though it was a day for English and Chinese-guided tours and we were the only Korean couple, he kindly guided us in Korean and even sent explanations via KakaoTalk, so we had a very comfortable and pleasant trip. Not to mention the scenery and our overall satisfaction haha. Thank you once again. Highly recommended a million times!

The travel distance was a bit long, but the attraction itself was beautiful, making it well worth it. The cable car was a bit expensive, but still recommended. As for the tour guide, they were a bit disorganized; they actually lost a group member's cable car ticket and then went around asking if anyone had an extra. Their ticket management skills could definitely be improved.

Tour guide Zhang Yanjin was extremely nice 👍 He drove smoothly, provided just the right amount of information, and kindly answered all our questions. I felt the time allocated for each stop was well planned. Also, thank you to all the fellow travelers who joined today—even though there were only 8 of us, everyone was quite punctual! ✅ I recommend renting an audio guide at Miho Museum ✅ (The last photo of Shirahige Shrine was edited because of bad weather 🤣)
