3-Hour Private Guided Tour to Lake Biwa from Kyoto

The tour begins at JR Kyoto Station. Guests meet outside the Northern Central Entrance, where the guide will be waiting to start the journey. From here, the group departs together toward the Lake Biwa area.

Upon arrival at Lake Biwa, the tour continues with a Michigan Cruise across Japan’s largest lake. The cruise takes place on calm waters and allows time to view the surrounding shoreline and distant mountains. The boat itself features open decks and indoor seating, making it suitable for sightseeing throughout the journey.

After the cruise, the group visits Otsu Port Marina. This stop allows time to walk around the marina area, enjoy views of the lake, and take group photos with the surrounding landscape as a backdrop. The guide leads the walk and assists with timing before returning.
