    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto.

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto. Do the Hop On Hop Off bus (both Blue and Red Lines), which stops at all the major sites. Then train to Otsu for relaxing stay at Lake Biwa. Go on a sightseeing / luncheon cruise or organised trips - example the cable car at Sakamoto. Plenty of places to eat including 36th floor of Lake Biwa Otsu Princess Hotel with great views.

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property. Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

    Inase Otsu Machiya was an exceptionally beautiful property, having breakfast in the communal tatami room is a highlight in itself. The Japanese-style family room we stayed in was very spacious and extremely comfortable. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, too. The communal bathing area was nicely arranged, too. For reference, most of the taxi drivers from Otsu station seem to know where Inase Otsu Machiya is, so you should have no issue arriving by foot or taxi (600-800 yen). Would I stay here again? Definitely!

    The breakfast was traditional Japanese style and very nice. One could tell the ingredients were very high quality. Perhaps not to everyone’s taste but for those who want the proper Japanese experience, this is perfect! Location is a bit tricky to get to if you’re on foot but they offer a very easy to use shuttle service to and from the local train station.

    10 minutes by cheap and frequent train from Kyoto. Not a touristy town. Hotel is close to a bank with an ATM that accepted my debit card, unlike convenience stores. Half a block from an enclosed shopping arcade with a supermarket. Excellent Japanese breakfast with different choices every day.
