Our guesthouse is located just 20 minutes from Kyoto Station and a mere 10-minute walk from Lake Biwa, situated in the city of Otsu that connects Kyoto and Lake Biwa. With excellent access to the Osaka area as well, this is a city where unique culture and culinary traditions deeply connected to the lake flourish. Hidden charms yet to be widely discovered surely await you.
As a production area that has long supported Kyoto’s lifestyle and culinary culture, one of Otsu’s distinctive features is the opportunity to experience authentic quality. Despite its proximity to Kyoto, time flows leisurely through the city, allowing you to feel the charm of traditional Japanese life.
Above all, what you’ll feel in the city of Otsu is the warmth of its people. While it may not have the bustling atmosphere of Kyoto, a heartwarming culture where people cherish encounters with others is deeply rooted here.
During your stay, we encourage you to explore the region and experience the unique attractions that only Otsu can offer.
