What To Expect
The two waterfalls we visit are spectacular. The first, Hira Falls, is just a quarter mile (400 meter) hike from the car park. From there we hike to the even more dramatic Yobai Falls, feeling the splash of cool water. The round trip hike is only one mile (1.5 km) but the trail is rocky and steep, so a reasonable degree of fitness of required. From there we go to the shore of Lake Biwa where we ride kayaks, swim, or hang out on the beach. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to escape the crowds and heat of Kyoto and Osaka and enjoy nature.

Meeting Point
Step outside the station (there's only one exit) and to the side. You'll be protected by a roof even if it's raining or intensely sunny. You'll be able to see the entire parking lot. I am a tall, thin American wearing glasses with a big smile. Finding each other will be very easy!
