Lake Biwa சுற்றுலாக்கள்

Effy was amazing same with the bus driver. Every pitstop was amazing. I was nervous about the height going up on the gondola but up the top was so worth it. Everything was great sight seeing along the way also, wish I could upload more pics.

Here's an honest and straightforward review of three major attractions in Shiga Prefecture: Shirahige Shrine, Biwako Terrace, and La Collina Omihachiman. 1. Shirahige Shrine Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The torii gate in the water is located across the road, making it dangerous to cross and difficult to appreciate properly from a distance. The shrine itself doesn't offer much to see, so it's best suited as a quick stop. 2. Biwako Terrace This was definitely the highlight of my trip. The panoramic view of Lake Biwa from the terrace cafe was truly spectacular, and I was most satisfied with being able to relax amidst the expansive scenery. 3. La Collina Omihachiman It was so crowded that it was hard to leisurely soak in the unique atmosphere. The signature dessert, the confectionery, also tends to be a hit or miss in terms of taste. However, the grass-roofed buildings and the garden views were beautiful, making it an excellent spot for taking photos.

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! 😄

It was truly a delightful day trip. The large tour bus was clean and comfortable, and the driver handled it smoothly and steadily. Of course, the most important thing was meeting an excellent tour guide, Xiao Du. He could explain and communicate in three different languages, which was superb! He was gentle, meticulous, and very attentive. He even gave us a bonus (a recommendation for a hidden gem), which added even more color to an already rich itinerary. I'm incredibly grateful. Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up!

சுற்றுலா வழிகாட்டி ரிச்சர்ட் மிகவும் உதவியாகவும், பதிலளிப்பவராகவும் இருந்தார். இந்தச் சுற்றுப்பயணத்தில் அமனோஹாஷிதேயில் உள்ள அழகான காட்சிகள் அடங்கும். அமனோஹாஷிதே வியூலேண்டில் சேர்லிஃப்ட் மற்றும் ஸ்கை சைக்கிள் ஒரு அற்புதமான அனுபவமாக இருந்தது. இன் பேயில் கடற்பறவைகளுக்கும், பருந்துகளுக்கும் உணவளித்தது படகு சவாரியில் ஒரு வேடிக்கையான அனுபவமாக இருந்தது.

During our trip to Japan, we stayed in Kyoto. My husband and I wanted to visit Lake Biwa, but since we were traveling independently, we opted for a convenient one-day tour. It was great not having to worry about transportation, and our tour guide was very professional, able to switch between Chinese, Japanese, and English.

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.

மிஹோ அருங்காட்சியகம் மிகவும் பிரமிக்க வைக்கிறது. அழகியலை நிலைநிறுத்துவதற்கும், பரப்புவதற்கும் ஒரு அமைப்பு இவ்வளவு முயற்சிகளை மேற்கொள்வது மிகவும் பாராட்டத்தக்கது: காட்சிப் பொருட்களின் சேகரிப்பு முதல் காட்சிப்படுத்துதல் வரை, அருங்காட்சியகத்தின் கட்டுமானம் வரை, இங்கு வரும் பயணிகள், ஒரு தொலைதூர மலைப் பகுதியில், ஒன்றுமில்லாமலில் இருந்து உருவான, பிரம்மாண்டமான கட்டிடக் கலையின் தலைசிறந்த படைப்பைக் கண்டு, வியப்பிலும், மரியாதையிலும் மூழ்கிப் போவார்கள் என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை. பழமையான மூங்கில் தோப்பு முற்றமானது சிறியதாகவும் அழகாகவும் உள்ளது. விளக்கத்தின்படி, இது பண்டைய என்ரியாகுஜி மடத்தின் துறவிகளின் பயிற்சி அறையாகும். முற்றத்தைப் பார்த்தபடி மட்சா தேநீர் அருந்துவது மிகவும் புத்துணர்ச்சியூட்டுவதாகவும், நிதானமாகவும் இருந்தது. நல்ல வானிலையில் ஷிராஹிகே சன்னதி புகைப்படம் எடுக்க மிகவும் அழகாக இருக்கும், அதன் தாயத்துக்களும் அழகாக இருக்கும். ஒரு நாள் முழுவதுமான பயணத்தை முடித்த பிறகு, நான் மிகவும் நிதானமாகவும் அமைதியாகவும் உணர்ந்தேன்.

an excellent tour, Davide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We would highly recommend going for a great day out of Tokyo
