The illustrated cards for explanations were typically cute Japanese style, complete with spelling mistakes and vocabulary errors.

Enman-in Temple in Otsu, Shiga is a Monzeki Buddhist temple with over 1,000 years of history. Monzeki refers to temples of high standing that have been connected to the Imperial family since ancient times, and these are only 17 of these precious locations in the whole country. How would you like to experience various aspects of Japanese culture in a graceful space at a historic Buddhist temple?
I think the food was delicious.
The Buddhist priest here is very cordial, the chanting in the early morning & the experience of real meditation was enlightening. -
Kamado Rice-Cooking Experience
The kamado rice-cooking experience takes place at Kamado, a restaurant in the Shika no Fune tourism complex in Nara City. The restaurant serves simple Japanese home cooking made with ingredients from Nara, and all its rice is cooked in traditional kamado stoves. The stoves at the heart of the restaurant were built by a craftsman in Uda City, Nara Prefecture. It is said that fewer and fewer craftspeople now have the skills to build them. The kamado rice-cooking experience began about two years ago. Participants are guided by Hitomi Yamashita, who is responsible for selling food products and merchandise at the restaurant. The experience begins with an explanation of the rice-cooking process.
This is a pleasant experience for almost any foreign tourists, especially because it includes a light meal in the price.
Perfect for families with kids.
Location is excellent, being in downtown Dara in proximity to the famous deer Park and temples and shrines. -
Hikone-jo Yakatabune
Construction began on Hikone Castle in 1604 and more than 400 years have passed since it was completed. It incorporated structures and stone walls from castles in the surrounding area that fell during wartime, and as such is known as a "recycled castle." You can take a private sightseeing tour around the castle moat in a reconstructed boat once reserved for use by daimyo!
The boat ride was relaxing, the Bento box was tasty.
