Soul cleansing on Lake Biwa 🚣‍♂️

#2024TravelReview

I had a relaxing time at the top of Lake Biwa in Shiga. When I reached the top of the mountain, the refreshing mountain breeze blew across my face, bringing a hint of coolness, and I instantly felt that all the stress and worries disappeared at this moment. The breeze is filled with the fragrance of trees, as if whispering to me that this is a safe haven for the soul.

I found a comfortable pavilion to sit down, and before my eyes was a magnificent scenery of lakes and mountains. The surface of the lake shimmered with golden light under the sunlight, and the waves gently beat against the shore, making a low and rhythmic sound. The mountains in the distance are layered and green, which makes me feel happy. The green leaves danced in the breeze, as if waving to me.

Being at the top of the mountain, I felt like I was in a natural healing place. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I listened to the birdsong and the sound of the wind intertwined together. These natural melodies were like gentle lullabies, allowing me to feel the tranquility and leisure brought by nature. Here, time seems to slow down. I can relax and stretch my limbs at will, and immerse myself completely in the tranquility of this mountaintop world.

In addition to enjoying the lake view, I also found a small but beautiful coffee shop at the top of the mountain. The simple decoration and plain furniture in the store made me feel the warmth of home. The aroma of coffee lingers in the air, accompanied by soft music, making people feel happy. I tasted the strong coffee, feeling its smooth aroma between my lips and teeth, accompanied by a small piece of homemade cake, which was sweet but not greasy. While reading a book, you can appreciate the beautiful scenery outside the window and enjoy the leisure and freedom, as if time has stopped here, leaving behind the most beautiful moments.

During this relaxing trip to the top of the mountain, I rediscovered my inner peace and tranquility. Living in harmony with nature allows me to feel the beauty and simplicity of life, leaving all my worries behind and focusing only on the tranquility and joy of the moment. I deeply cherish this precious time and look forward to coming to the top of the mountain again to enjoy more relaxation and leisure, and let my soul be cleansed again.
