The driver was very punctual and recommended different attractions. He contacted us via WhatsApp the night before and could add or subtract the itinerary at will.

I received the redemption QR code voucher very quickly after payment. When I arrived at Biwako Barei, the staff scanned the QR code of the order with their mobile phone and all the tickets came out. It was very convenient and simple.

In fact, I was very anxious from the time I placed the order to the day before departure. I had not received the contact information for the chartered car and I read a lot of experience sharing about being released. But luckily, I successfully received the contact information (middleman and driver) the afternoon before departure. The driver was very kind and kind. He helped us communicate with klook when purchasing tickets for the cruise ship and view land. The car provided by klook was also very clean. The overall experience was good and I will use klook's car charter service if I have the opportunity.

A very pleasant charter experience, especially the enthusiasm and professional service of Mr. Driver, which made us have a lot of fun, the only drawback is that the car would be better if it could be newer.

The driver's service attitude was very cordial and he was willing to take the initiative to introduce different attractions, including itinerary arrangements and time limits. Overall, I was satisfied.

I missed Lake Biwa when I came to Kyoto last April, so I came back during the summer vacation just to experience the beauty of Lake Biwa. If you buy tickets on K Look, you still have to go to the window to redeem them, but there are many windows, so don’t worry. I transferred right away 👍 The waiting time doesn’t take long and there will be a bus available in about 5 to 10 minutes. The beautiful scenery on the mountain will really take your breath away! Although the restaurant above is a bit expensive, it is worth it because you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and the relaxing nature. It is also not crowded and very comfortable ~ Thinking of the scene of chests against backs in popular cities, I still feel that Lake Biwa is too Awesome^_^

After buying the ticket at klook, remember to go to the window to exchange for the physical ticket. After checking the ticket, I found out that this problem caused me to take the next cable car. The park above is very big, there are not too many tourists, and the experience is very good.
