This experience was definitely a highlight of me and my friend's trip! From scheduling the tour to its completion, this was a smooth, personalized, and overall extremely pleasant experience. Tako was very proactive in giving us all the information we needed, such as itenerary and directions. Our tour guide, Ryo, was amazing! She was so welcoming, showing us around her hometown and the nearby towns. Ryo invited us to her own home, where we got to meet her family and adorable dog, all while enjoying refreshing tea and snacks! Ryo also made the tour very personalized for us, as we found out there was a summer festival in the neighboring town, so Ryo took us there after we were finished biking. Overall, a lovely look into the scenery and lives of peaceful and rural Lake Biwa life.
