AFUMI KITAKOMATSU arrival and departure
Lake Biwa Cruising
Glamping Resort AFUMI, a new experience that will make your heart beat faster
To provide even higher sound to customers using our facilities
Launched Grand Cruise Lake Biwa charter boats.
Customers who only use the AFUMI Cafe can also board the ship.
AFUMI is a glamping facility located in an area of Lake Biwa where the water is considered to be the cleanest. We have prepared a cruising option for guests staying at the facility or using the café. You and your dog can enjoy cruising together.
Elegant cruising on Lake Biwa
We will take you on a cruise ship featuring soft leather seats. Drink holders and tables are provided so that you can enjoy cruising with your own food and beverages in the AFUMI facilities.
You can enjoy an exhilarating cruise with your precious family dog. However, please note that the wearing of mannered pants is a prerequisite for this tour. Please bring a pair of mannequin pants that matches your dog's body shape. For the safety of your energetic dog, please keep him or her on a leash and supervise him or her.
Boats depart and arrive from the sandy beach in front of AFUMI. During the lake bathing season in July and August, the departure and arrival points may be slightly different, but they are within walking distance.
Exhilarating cruising.
Children over 80 cm in height are allowed on board.
Add cruising to your AFUMI Glamping RESORT experience and you have the perfect holiday.
Enjoy a SPECIAL experience!
Since this is a private cruise boat, passengers can steer the boat if they wish. This is a valuable experience for young children to be able to drive a real boat.
Due to speed limitations, it may not be possible to go around the scheduled course.
*Operation is possible only when our specified safe water area and weather conditions are met.
The captain will always provide driving support.
Famous for its power spots
Shirahige Shrine
As the name suggests, Shirahige Shrine is a power spot on Lake Biwa where the god of longevity is worshipped. The large torii gate standing in the water gives it an air of elegance. You can see it from the offshore side. It will be a perfect photo spot.
Mysteries of Lake Biwa accessible only by boat
OKINO-SHIRAISH
Oki no Shiraishi, a power spot rising in the middle of Lake Biwa. It is one of the four islands in Lake Biwa. The depth of the water at the location where the boat is located is about 80 m. From there, the rock rises sharply and sticks its head out about 20 m. The rock is about 100 meters above the lake bottom. How did this happen? I feel the awesomeness of nature.
Takejima Island, with its diverse scenery
The entire island is the precincts of a temple, and in the past it was called "Takeshima" (bamboo island) because of the abundance of bamboo growing wild. When the island is viewed from different angles, the scenery is diverse. The name "Takeshima" was changed to "Takkeijima" (多景島) because of its scenery.
