Plan description

This tour will take you to Ishiyama-dera Temple, a place associated with Murasaki Shikibu, the protagonist of this year's taiga drama, and the "Hikariru Kimi e Biwako Otsu Taiga Drama Museum" located within the temple grounds. A local guide will provide you with detailed information about the highlights of Ishiyama-dera Temple and the drama museum. Ishiyama-pilgrimage refers to a visit from Kyoto to Ishiyama-dera Temple, one of the sacred sites of the Kannon Bodhisattva. During the Heian period, this was a popular practice among aristocrats, and women who left the capital in search of the power of Kannon Bodhisattva would go to Otsu, board a boat on Lake Biwa, and travel down the Seta River to visit Ishiyama-dera Temple. On this tour, you can relive the Ishiyama-dera pilgrimage that Murasaki Shikibu is said to have experienced. Please join us on this tour where you can enjoy the charm of Ishiyama-dera Temple and its surroundings while following in Murasaki Shikibu's footsteps. ~Experience flow~ [Morning course] Depart from Otsu Port!
