9 minutes from Kyoto Station / Parking for up to 10 people / Accommodation tax exemption / 4 bedrooms / 5-minute walk from the station / Children welcome / Spacious detached house / Accessible
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.
