This tour offers a special experience combining nature and traditional culture on Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan.
This one-of-a-kind tour includes comfortable cruising on a modern houseboat with a blend of Japanese and Western style,
as well as viewing and experiencing Noh, one of Japan's representative traditional performing arts.
As an experience unique to Shiga, the “home of Noh,” you can try on the gorgeous costumes used in Noh plays
and learn about the backstage of the stage, which is usually closed to the public, to experience the profound world of Noh.
In addition to “seeing” and “touching,” the nature tour also includes “learning” about the origins of Lake Biwa,
its ecosystem, and the importance of environmental conservation, making it a unique and valuable opportunity in Kyoto and Shiga.
In particular, visitors can feel the importance of coexistence with nature by paddling a canoe and enjoying a close-up look at the reed zone.
In addition, visitors can enjoy Omi beef, the pride of Shiga Prefecture, and lake fish dishes from Lake Biwa.
Please enjoy a special moment in the scenery of history and nature, including the Ukimido Hall loved by Matsuo Basho.
Fufu Kyoto, adjacent to Nanzenji Temple and Lake Biwa Canal, is a relaxing resort where you can feel the beauty and tranquility of Kyoto. Enjoy a moment to soothe your mind and body in an elegant space unique to Kyoto.
Guests staying at Fufu Kyoto will enjoy a prime location from which to enjoy the quintessential Kyoto experience. The magnificent Heian Jingu Shrine is nearby, with its beautiful vermilion-lacquered architecture evoking a sense of history and tradition. Museums within walking distance also provide an enriching experience.
A short stroll away, you can enjoy the Kamo River in all seasons and the historic architecture and gardens of the tranquil Kyoto Imperial Palace. This is a charming area where you can enjoy the nature and culture unique to Kyoto.
Transportation will be provided by a comfortable hired car so that you can spend a pleasant time without feeling tired from the trip.
Shiga used to be called “Omi Province,” and since it is next to the capital, people have come and gone since ancient times, and many Noh plays have been created here.

In addition, you can actually go up on the sacred Noh stage and experience behind-the-scenes of a performance that is normally closed to the public. You can also try on the gorgeous costumes used in Noh plays, and experience the history and beauty of Noh in a special cultural experience that will bring you closer to Noh.

In addition, enjoy the view of Ukimido, which originated in the Heian period (794-1192) and has been loved by many cultural figures, and spend a soothing moment in the beauty of its setting on the lake.
In this nature tour, visitors can paddle a canoe and observe the reed zone, which is essential to the water environment and ecosystem of Lake Biwa, up close and personal. The tour is not only a “look” and “touch” experience, but also a “know” and “learn” experience about the origins of Lake Biwa, its diverse ecosystems, and the importance of environmental preservation.
