Saker att göra i Takashima

Tack till vår guide Effy! Jag uppskattade dagens rundtur och det var skönt att komma nära naturen. Turen gjorde det enkelt för mig att ta mig till områden som är svåra att nå med kollektivtrafik. En påminnelse om att Biwako-terrassen ligger vid en skidort... ta med en jacka eller trotsa den kalla vinden precis som jag gjorde!!

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 🌱

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.

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 🤣)

Peggy, our tour guide was awesome and very helpful, while the tour itself was really nice. First time riding a lift.

Resavståndet var lite långt, men sevärdheten i sig var vacker och därför väl värd det. Linbanan var lite dyr, men ändå rekommenderad. Guiden var dock lite slarvig och tappade bort gruppmedlemmarnas linbanebiljetter, och frågade sedan en efter en om någon hade tagit extra biljetter. Han kunde förbättra sin förmåga att hantera biljetter.

Nick kommer att presentera sevärdheter och japansk kultur i bilen. Resan gick smidigt, och även om vädret var väldigt varmt i juli är Miho Museum fortfarande mycket värt ett besök. Olika årstider erbjuder olika landskap, det är en idealisk fristad!

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!

Det var verkligen en trevlig dagsutflykt. Den stora turistbussen var ren och bekväm, och chauffören körde lugnt och smidigt. Det viktigaste var förstås att vi fick en fantastisk guide – Xiao Du. Han kunde kommunicera och förklara på tre olika språk, vilket var förstklassigt 👍. Han var vänlig, noggrann och tog hand om oss på bästa sätt. Han gav oss till och med en bonus (rekommendation av en dold pärla), vilket gjorde den redan fullspäckade resplanen ännu mer färgstark. Vi är så tacksamma, toppen, toppen, toppen 👍👍👍
