Description
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Shiga, designed perfect for private groups of 1 to 8 travelers. Your adventure begins with a hands-on cultural experience where you can create your own unique souvenir by painting a cute, traditional unglazed clay Tanuki (raccoon dog) statue. Next, step back in time at the famous Koga Ninja Village to dress up in authentic outfits, try your hand at throwing shuriken (ninja stars), and train like a real shadow warrior. After your legendary training, satisfy your appetite with a mouthwatering lunch featuring Shiga’s premium "Omi Beef," recognized as one of Japan's top three Wagyu brands. The journey continues with breathtaking sights as you admire a peaceful traditional garden and marvel at the iconic "floating" torii gate standing elegantly in the lake. To wrap up your perfect day, enjoy a relaxing shopping experience in an expansive, scenic open-air space surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful nature.
