Čo robiť v Otsu

S Carinou sme zažili úžasný zážitok počas nášho jednodňového výletu do Kjóta – jazera Biwa a La Collina. Počas celej prehliadky bola neuveriteľne milá, ohľaduplná a profesionálna. Napriek neistým poveternostným podmienkam sa nás všetkých premyslene opýtala, či chceme pokračovať v itinerári, čím sa uistila, že sa všetci cítia pohodlne a sú informovaní. Carina bola vždy dochvíľna, dobre organizovaná a priateľská. Jej srdečná osobnosť urobila výlet príjemným a relaxačným a vytvorila príjemnú atmosféru pre všetkých v skupine. Bola pozorná k našim potrebám, trpezlivá s otázkami a úprimne sa starala o to, aby sme mali čo najlepší zážitok. Ďakujeme, Carina, za vaše vynikajúce vedenie, pozitívny prístup a oddanosť. Vďaka vám bol náš výlet nezabudnuteľný a vrelo by sme vás odporučili každému, kto navštívi Kjóto!

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。

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

Toto je zmysluplná prehliadka štyroch miest: Shirahige Shrine, Sanzen-in, Mangetsuji a La Collina. Vybrali sme si ju, aby sme videli prefektúru Shiga, ktorá nie je v regióne Kinki veľmi známa, a bolo skvelé vidieť nádherné a rozsiahle jazero Biwa. Sanzen-in, ktorý bol zaradený namiesto vyhliadky na jazero Biwa v zimnej sezóne, bol bohužiažiaľ chrámom v prefektúre Kjóto. Osobne by som uprednostnil, keby bol program len s atrakciami prefektúry Shiga, bez Sanzen-in. Zdá sa, že prehliadka prefektúry Shiga potrebuje zlepšiť svoj imidž. Žiaľ, autobus (18-miestny) bol trochu starý a plne obsadený, takže ak by ste dostali zlé sedadlo, museli by ste znášať nepohodlie dlhej cesty.

The driver was excellent and drove very safely. From start to finish, the trip felt like being guided by a friend. He took care of my family and me meticulously. The car was clean, and the itinerary was comfortably and appropriately arranged. Five-star rating!

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, Mia, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and her explanations in both English and Chinese were excellent. She's a five-star guide! The Miho Museum is definitely worth visiting, and it was absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season. We were also very lucky to encounter a festival when we visited Chikurin-in Temple, and the torii gate on Lake Biwa was beautiful as well.

Excellent experience to bike around local temples and world heritage spots around the Gion area. Miki our guide, adopted our itinerary based on our interest and limited time. It was nice to see some of sites before the 9 am rush of tourist. This e-bike is perfect for those who comfortable riding bikes in city traffic and some uphill climbs. We had a beautiful experience visiting the sites in the this part of Kyoto.

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 😅
