Boarding reservations for this autumn’s Lake Biwa Canal Cruise have started!

The Lake Biwa Canal is a man-made waterway channelling the abundant water of Lake Biwa to Kyoto.
 
The boat transportation, which had been halted since 1951 due to the development of land transportation and the impact of war, has resumed for the first time in 70 years in 2018 as a sightseeing cruise service.
 
This newly introduced activity has gained popularity as a unique way to enjoy the architectural heritage of Kyoto’s modern development along with the view of spring cherry blossoms or the autumn leaves from the boat.
 
This autumn’s cruise reservations have started from August 26, 2022.
