Japan's largest lake in 10 minutes


Shiga Prefecture is just 10 minutes from Kyoto Station. From Kyoto you can reach Otsu, the prefectural capital, in no time.

10 minutes by train! No transfers!


You can of course travel Lake Biwa by boat. Try crossing even short distances on the water.



Ba-bu, ba-ba-ba-bu…… (Did you know you can loop around Lake Biwa by train? If you never get off, it costs just over 100 yen.)


Enjoy Lake Biwa. Explore the surroundings.
