Babies are also welcome. It also has convenient access to Kyoto and Osaka, and there are many sightseeing resources such as Hikone Castle, Lake Biwa Valley, marine sports, cycling, Ishiyama Temple, and the autumn leaves, which represent Lake Biwa, and you can feel the unique appearance of Japan in each season. I love this area. There are many restaurants, major coffee shops, and convenience stores around JR Otsu station, which is a 5-minute walk away. My business is to use English to convey the charm of Japan and other countries to parents and children all over Japan, and to raise children who can think from a global perspective. If you wish, I hope you will actively interact with the children. I hope I can help you make memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you
