FACE Lake Biwa Sup

FACE Lake Biwa SUP offers guided stand-up paddleboard tours on Japan's largest lake, where participants glide across calm waters surrounded by mountain scenery and pass by the iconic floating torii gate of Shirahige Shrine. The tours cater to beginners with stable boards and patient instruction, making the experience accessible even if you have never tried SUP before. Morning sessions are especially beautiful when mist rises off the lake surface and the surrounding mountains reflect in still waters. The location in Otsu provides easy access from Kyoto, just a short train ride away, making it a refreshing half-day escape from temple-hopping into the open air and water.
