Best spot to view the enchanting scenery of the Biwa Lake (Biwako). It has a panoramic view of Japan's largest lake. The terrace is designed in harmony with the vibrant natural environment. The visitors can relax and enjoy the magnificent view. There is the main terrace, the north terrace with the terrace cafe and the mountain top bell. It is so nice and mesmerizing.
We visited Biwako Terrace at around 3pm, which in hindsight was a little late and probably a mistake on our part, as there was limited time left to explore the various attractions.
However, what really stood out to us was the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. Despite our late arrival, they went out of their way to assist us and allowed us to visit all the attractions. We were genuinely touched by their thoughtfulness and willingness to help us make the most of our visit.
The scenery at Biwako Terrace was absolutely beautiful. The panoramic views of Lake Biwa and the surrounding mountains were stunning and made the trip well worth it.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend a visit if you are in the area. The only downside was that the ticket prices felt a little on the expensive side, but the spectacular views and exceptional hospitality helped justify the cost.
Thank you to the staff for making our visit such a memorable one.
Definitely worth doing at least once. The gondola looks more intimidating then it actually is, however they pack alot of people in the ride. Probably better to do it warmer months unless your winter sporting.
My pictures are mid march
We arrived in awful weather and almost gave up on the cable car, convinced the mist would hide every bit of beauty. Thank goodness We waited half an hour, then the sky cleared out of nowhere, and in the end we got to enjoy some really beautiful views from the top. What a turnaround!
It’s freezing up on the mountain, don’t forget to pack something warm. :)
The view up there is absolutely gorgeous — but honestly, when it’s snowing, the visibility drops so much that you can barely see anything. Unless we’re actually going skiing, we might just skip it… the ropeway tickets aren’t exactly cheap either.
On the bright side, the ice cream was surprisingly delicious — especially the genmaicha one!! So good!!
