  • Realized that the eco-friendly toilet integrated better stop by when we go to Kansai, but this time for the first time with hand-washing pee toilet in the men's room. Twist the neck a little about usability, but I saw for the first time.

  • It is a service area located in ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture. The renovation debris had become very clean. Lake Biwa ate at the food court is chanpon.

Where to stay in Otsu

You'll find a scattered few accommodations across Otsu, primarily close to Otsu train station. The options located in this area tend to be fairly standard hotels, designed for businesspeople rather than tourists, with simple rooms, pools, and onsite restaurants. Closer to the lake, things get a little more interesting, with some more traditional guesthouses to choose from. Going anti-clockwise round the lake, you'll find some clusters of accommodations close to the primary attractions, such as hot springs. Then again, you can always stay in Kyoto and take a day visit to Otsu.
