On our tour, you can experience quality Japanese traditional life as well as cooking experience using plentiful fresh local vegetables and rice through heart warming communication with our kind and friendly local host families.
We offer programs where you can enjoy the beautiful scenes of Lake Biwa or terraced rice fields either by bicycles or by foot at your own pace. Other programs are offered where one can learn about traditional local culture and art.
All the tours are either private or as part of a small group attended by a guide to ensure that quality of your tour.
Tour du lac members who live by Lake Biwa are looking forward to sharing with you while enjoying the life in these wonderful natural surroundings. We hope that we can offer a bridge between the tour participants and the local people for sharing and celebrating our collective humanity.
