South Lake Biwa Cruise

Lake Biwa, northeast of Kyoto, is a freshwater lake and wildlife haven to wow you! It's thought to be one of the world's oldest lakes, formed at least four million years ago. Join a scenic winter cruise for one hour with a guide, get a unique perspective on Mt. Hiei and the Hira Mountains, and spot the migratory birds who call the lake's wetland regions home. * Around the shores you'll see beaches, homes and more historic sites, which your guide will be happy to explain. All while the snow-capped mountains rise majestically behind you. A must-do trip from Kyoto.
