Descripción
Escape the crowds on a private trip from Kyoto to Lake Biwa, with matcha, floating shrines, serene lake views, and refined local cuisine.
Leave the busy streets of Kyoto behind and step into a day of quiet beauty, gentle landscapes, and cultural depth.
Your journey begins at a lesser-known temple nestled in the hills, where time seems to move more slowly. Here, you’ll enjoy a traditional matcha tea and wagashi (Japanese sweets) experience in a serene setting—an intimate introduction to Japanese hospitality and mindfulness.
Next, travel north by private car to the shimmering shores of Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest and most tranquil lake. Visit the iconic Shirahige Shrine, where a vivid red torii gate appears to float gracefully on the water, creating one of the most photogenic and spiritual scenes in the region.
After taking in the lakeside atmosphere, enjoy a refined local lunch with lake views. The meal is served as a course menu, and you may choose one of the following specialties:
• Omi Beef, one of Japan’s most prestigious wagyu brands
• Fresh trout from Lake Biwa, a regional delicacy
In the afternoon, continue to the peaceful Ukimido Floating Temple, seemingly adrift on the lake’s surface, offering a moment of quiet reflection. Then stroll through the elegant grounds of the Former Chikurin-in Temple, once a retreat for monks and poets. The temple is famous for its reflective table, which mirrors the surrounding garden and sky—an ethereal, unforgettable scene that perfectly captures the harmony between nature and design.
As the day draws to a close, relax on the comfortable return drive to Kyoto. You’ll arrive in the early evening feeling refreshed, inspired, and enriched by a day of hidden treasures, natural beauty, and authentic local flavors.
