Kyoto Station 10 minutes/maximum 10 people/Biwa Lake/family/4 bedrooms/120 square meters/children welcome/TOP 5% accommodation/parking available

Why not reconnect with loved ones in this large, barrier-free home built by a major house builder? Located a 5-minute walk to JR Otsu Station, 10 minutes to JR Kyoto Station, about 40 minutes to JR Shin-Osaka, and a 2-minute walk to Keihan Railway Kamiei Station, it also has excellent access to Kyoto Sanjo and the west coast of Lake Biwa. There is also free parking on the premises. The interior is clean, with few steps and lots of handrails, so you can rest assured. Stretch out and enjoy a space for up to 10 people. 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
