9 minutes to Kyoto Station / Parking for up to 10 people / Accommodation tax exemption / 4 bedrooms / 5-minute walk to the station / Children welcome / Large detached house / Barrier-free
Why not deepen your connection with your loved ones in a quiet, barrier-free accommodation in a detached house selected from the top 1%? A 5-minute walk to JR Otsu Station. It's 10 minutes from Otsu Station to JR Kyoto Station and about 40 minutes to JR Osaka Station. It is a 2-minute walk to Keihan Electric Railway's Kami-sakae Station, with excellent access to Kyoto Sanjo and the shores of Lake Biwa. Free parking is available on the property. The interior feels clean, and there are few steps and many handrails, so you can feel at ease. Even 10 people can have a relaxing stay. Babies are also welcome 😄 Access to Kyoto and Osaka is also convenient, and there are many sightseeing spots, such as Lake Biwa, Hikone Castle, Lake Biwa Valley, marine sports, cycling, historical buildings such as Ishiyama Temple, and the autumn leaves. You can experience a unique side of Japan in each of the four seasons❗️ I love this area. There are many restaurants, major coffee shops, convenience stores, and supermarkets around JR Otsu Station, making it convenient 😊 We have many amenities, including towels and coffee 😊 As a business, I use English to convey the appeal of Japan and foreign countries to parents and children throughout Japan, and to raise children who can think from a global perspective. I would be happy to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Nordic Mountain Cabin Takashima | Near Lake Biwa, Campfire, Sunset, and Spectacular Mountain Views
It's a private, entire rental accommodation surrounded by nature. Time passes slowly, and every moment remains quietly in my heart. A rural landscape unfolds before your eyes, and beyond it stretches the beautiful view of Mt. Hakkodake. From the deck surrounded by flowers, you can watch the beautiful sunset as it descends over the mountains. At night, gather around the campfire and roast marshmallows while enjoying a relaxing time under the starry sky. Enjoy a BBQ while listening to the sounds of nature. [House Story] This house was born from a childhood dream of living in a Nordic house.It started with my longing for a warm cabin and quiet nature, like in a story. After living in Sweden and New Zealand, I returned to Japan and, together with my husband Andy, took over a cottage that was to be demolished just a month later. This house has been carefully renovated, piece by piece, by my husband and I, like a work of art. It has been reborn in harmony with the Nordic philosophy of cherishing a connection with nature and the beautiful natural environment of this place. 4 km to Lake Biwa There is a convenience store within walking distance A large supermarket is also a 10-minute drive away. About a 15-minute drive to Metasekvoia
