Maru Travels

The perfect Kyoto day trip does exist!👇 If you want to experience rural Japan, no crowds, and feel like you stepped into a Ghibli movie, you need to add Omihachiman to your travel list. This place has fairytale-like grass roofs and fresh baumkuchen at La Collina and a ropeway up the mountain for the best view of lake Biwa. I put together an itinerary for this day trip, and it’s completely free for my followers! ✨ How to get it: 1. Follow me in instagram @marutravelsjapan 2. Comment GHIBLI on the same video 3.
