What you can expect

  • Begin your day with a convenient pickup from Osaka or Kyoto.

    Head to the Shirahige Shrine, Japan's oldest shrine in Omi, dating back over 1,900 years. Admire the iconic floating torii gate on Lake Biwa — a sacred and photogenic site beloved by photographers. Surrounded by shimmering waters and distant islands, this is a magical moment not to miss.

    Next, ride Japan’s fastest cable car in a 360° glass cabin up Mt. Horai (1,100m elevation). Soak in panoramic views of Lake Biwa from the famous “Biwako Terrace,” a favourite Instagram spot. The cable car ticket is around 4000JPY(not included)
    Optional adventures like the Zip Line and Sky Walk make this ideal for couples, families, and thrill-seekers.

    Alternatively, visit Sanzen-in Temple, nestled in Kyoto’s tranquil Ohara village. This ancient temple dates to the 8th century and is surrounded by moss gardens and seasonal beauty — cherry blossoms in spring, lush green in summer, fiery maples in autumn, and snow in winter. Sanzen-in offers a peaceful Zen escape from the crowds.

    Finally, visit La Collina Omihachiman, a fairytale dessert village by master architect Terunobu Fujimori and Taneya — Shiga’s famous wagashi maker. The signature grass-roofed building blends into the natural hills, perfect for photo ops. Indulge in fresh-baked baumkuchen and exclusive dorayaki treats with a creamy twist.
