Taga Taisha

Nestled in the southern reaches of Hikone City within Shiga Prefecture, this shrine is not merely another stop on a pilgrimage but an embodiment of timeless reverence, tracing back over 1,300 years.

About

Taga Taisha is one of Japan’s oldest sacred sites, boasting a history interwoven with nobility and generosity. The great Hideyoshi Toyotomi, seeking divine solace for his ailing wife, graced the shrine with new edifices and a resplendent garden in 1588. Visitors traverse a straight sando leading to the hallowed romon gate, encircling a kairo that enshrines the inner sanctum. Subsequently, a haiden and a shimei-zukuri style honden adorned with chigi and katsuogi stand as testaments to its grandeur. The entire complex is crowned with Japanese cedar roofing. Adjacent to the shrine offices stands an enchanting garden with a stone bridge and a sanzon seki, mirroring the shrine's timeless splendor. Nestled amid lush trees, Taga Taisha lies merely twelve kilometers from the serene Lake Biwa, beckoning visitors on an enchanting journey of spirituality and history.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

Our drivers are available 24/7, so you can book a trip at the time that suits your needs. And if you ever need assistance, our Customer Service team is available around the clock.

If your desired route is not listed on our website, don't worry! You can request a custom trip! We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, and maybe even add it as a regular route!

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
