Indulge in Culinary Excellence with a luxurious Ōmi Beef lunch. The afternoon is dedicated to a Local Arts & Crafts Deep Dive, exploring enduring merchant crafts: sampling Dechi Yokan, viewing Wooden Beads and Paper Washi Boxes, and visiting the famous Nishikawa Futon store.
Finally, we take the Hachimanyama Ropeway for a Scenic Mountain View over Lake Biwa, visiting the peaceful Murakumo Zuiryu Temple at the summit.
