Lake Biwa is only two hours away from Kyoto. This floating temple is Ukimido in Shiga. It takes only about 1 hour to drive from Kyoto, and there is a parking lot at the door. The visiting fee is about 300 yen. Although the place is not big, every corner of Ukimido is beautiful. It is very special. The temple is on the sea and you have to cross a bridge to enter. You can walk around the temple, but you can't take pictures in the center of the temple. You can see the beautiful scenery of Lake Biwa here. 📍Address: Shiga Ukimido Business hours: 08:00~17:00 Admission fee: 300 yen #Global Travel

Kyoto-Urban Select Hotel Kyoto Shijo Due to the sudden earthquake warning in Osaka during the summer vacation, we temporarily changed to Kyoto for a three-day and two-night trip! 😅 The hotel rooms are clean👍. The double rooms are equipped with two double beds, which are very spacious💯 and suitable for families with two adults and two children. In addition to the dry and wet separated bathrooms, there is also a large bathing area, which is the best place to soak and relax after a trip back to the hotel. The TV in the room can display the flow of people in each area, which is very convenient to arrange👍. Even if the large bathing area is not big, it will not be crowded if you allocate time appropriately! ☺️ There is a large storage space at the head of the bed, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough space to put your souvenirs! The hotel is within a ten-minute walk of the Kyoto Pokémon Center, which is very convenient for Pokémon fans!🤩 Since I have been to Kyoto several times, I went to the more distant Lake Biwa this time (about an hour's drive). The scenery of the Japanese Heritage Ukimido is really beautiful⛩️. Adults and children appreciate the scenery here. It is very suitable for self-driving tours!😎 If you want to enjoy the hotel breakfast, it is recommended to buy it when booking a room, because the price is more expensive when you buy it in the store, especially for children. If you don't buy breakfast coupons, there are many breakfast shops next door, so you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat before going out! 😉 Don’t worry about parking spaces when you drive by yourself, there are cheap open-air parking lots around, but you should pay attention to the overnight parking time! 😊 After the tour, I wanted to have a quiet space to rest in the hotel. I made a note on trip.com and asked for a "quiet room". I didn't need to express it again when I arrived at the hotel. It was completely arranged. I was very satisfied with the reservation! 🫠🫠👍👍 I booked a discounted hotel on trip.com with a member price🏨, and after completing the order, I can earn trip coins for use, which is really worth it! 🤗🤗 #Kyoto Accommodation #Kyoto Attractions #Kyoto Self-Driving Tour #Kyoto Pokémon #Biwako Attractions #Hotel with Large Bathhouse #Family Choice #Convenient Transportation #Free VIP Room Exchange on the 27th of Each Month Membership Day
