Meeting Point
Step outside the station (there's only one exit) and to the side. You'll be protected by a roof even if it's raining or intensely sunny. You'll be able to see the entire parking lot. I am a tall, thin American wearing glasses with a big smile. Finding each other will be very easy!

What to expect
Lake Biwa
After a short drive of 5-10 minutes from Kita-Komatsu train station, we will start with a very short hike of .25 km (312 steps), up a steep, rocky path, to view the beautiful Hira Waterfall. From there we will hike .7 km (875 steps) to view the even more breathtaking Yobai Falls, enjoying the scenery and cool spray. We will then return to the parking lot. The round-trip hike is 1.4 km (1750 steps), much up a steep, rocky path. The hike is not wheelchair accessible. After a 10-15 minute drive we will arrive on the shore of Lake Biwa where we will access a kayak (choosing a one-person and/or two person kayak), paddle out on Lake Biwa, and enjoy views from the lake. The tour will end with a ride to either Hira or Shiga train stations (guests can choose which).
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
