Takashima City stretches out on the western shore of Lake Biwa. There, the lake and everyday life still coexist side by side. The view of the Shirahige Shrine's torii gate resting on the water's surface, the quiet alleys of Omizo Castle Town, the sound of the waves on the lakeshore. On this tour, we aim to go beyond the scope of sightseeing and create an experience where travelers become "part of the scenery." We will walk with you along the path that connects the lake and everyday life.
Enjoy the morning light reflecting off the lake surface as you gently paddle out in a kayak. Enjoy local ingredients along the lakeside in the afternoon, and then take in the sights and sounds as you stroll through the old townscape in the afternoon. Enjoy a relaxing day in Takashima, where nature, culture, and the five senses intersect.
Although their English may not be perfect, our guides who love Takashima will connect with you and help you have a deep exchange with the local people.
