[Kyoto] Limited-time high-speed boat trip! Introducing the Lake Biwa Canal Boat

The Lake Biwa Canal was opened as a grand project to connect Lake Biwa and Kyoto by water transport in order to revive Kyoto, which had lost momentum due to the transfer of the capital's functions to Tokyo. The Lake Biwa Canal was built in the Meiji era and was bustling with ships carrying goods, but it gradually declined and water transport ended in 1893. However, it was revived as a tourist boat in 2018, and the experience of taking a boat tour around the remains of the original structures that supported Kyoto's development is gaining popularity. Please note that the tour is only operated in spring and autumn. 📌Ease of access★★☆☆☆ There are multiple departure and arrival courses. The boarding points for boarding and disembarking are Keage and Yamashina on the Kyoto side, and Otsu on the Shiga side. 📌Famous rating: ★★☆☆☆ When it comes to boats in Kyoto, the Hozugawa River Cruise is famous, but the Biwako Canal Boat is only available in spring and autumn, and you can also learn about the history of Kyoto's development, so it's definitely worth a ride! #AutumnTrip #AutumnFoliage #OkazakiCanal #YamashinaCanal #Kyoto #AmazingView #BoatTrip #Otsuka #KyotoHigashiyama #LakeBiwa
