Overview
Discover the serene beauty and cultural charm of Japan’s Shiga and Kyoto prefectures on this one-day escape. Begin your journey at Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest and oldest freshwater lake, where shimmering waters meet mountain horizons. Take in the crisp air and sweeping views, perfect for quiet reflection or breathtaking photos. Next, visit Shirahige Shrine, famous for its striking crimson torii gate rising from the lake itself. This centuries-old Shinto shrine offers a truly iconic scene, especially when the gate’s reflection dances on the water’s surface. End your day at Mangetsu-ji Temple in Ohara, Kyoto, home to the elegant Ukimido Hall, which appears to float serenely over a tranquil pond. The peaceful atmosphere and timeless architecture make it a perfect finale to a day filled with beauty and heritage.
