On the short boat ride out to the island, I found out that she lived in Kyoto, and that she and her son had rode bikes about eleven hours over the past two days to get here (they stayed at a hotel last night, since they also missed the island yesterday).

The trip around Biwako yesterday and today would have been about $30 per trip; and the return from Tsubosaka temple to Kyoto the other day would have been another $18.
