Overview

Explore Japan’s first UNESCO Biosphere Park with its hidden emerald lake, and a 1,300-year-old Ghibli-inspired hot spring town. With a private car and guide, avoid crowds and receive photo memories.

A Unique Experience of Nature and Culture
Deep within the forests of Shiga Kogen — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — lies a shimmering emerald lake, a true hidden gem known only to locals. Unlike crowded tourist spots, here you can enjoy the scenery and seasonal wildlife in peace, from playful macaques to elusive stoats or even a Japanese serow. After this tranquil nature walk, step into a nostalgic hot spring town where cobblestone alleys, lantern-lit paths, and wooden inns evoke the charm of a Studio Ghibli film. Each moment is captured with a dedicated camera and gifted back to you as lasting memories.
