We plan private tours in East Kansai, built around Lake Biwa and the old Tokaido road.

Hikone has one of the few original castles in Japan, and the lake beside it is large enough to change the weather. Omi-Hachiman keeps its canal district and merchant streets, and the northern shore is quiet enough to drive slowly. It is an easy add-on to Kyoto or a route in its own right at three or four days.

Routes in this collection: 5 Days East Kansai Private Tour and 6 Days East Kansai Private Tour.

Tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we will come back with a route and honest driving times. Planning is free — WhatsApp +852 6888 4736.
