Lake Biwa and Omi Maiko are right in front of you! A private lakefront experience

A short distance from skiing, cycling, and more, this beach cottage lets you experience it all. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 2-minute walk to Biwako Quasi-National Park or the 14-minute walk to Omi Maiko Nakahama Swimming Beach. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Omimaiko Station, a short 10-minute walk away.

Relax on the deck or patio (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) of this 700-sq-ft cottage. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A fireplace and air conditioning are featured at this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the oven, stovetop, and refrigerator, as well as the electric kettle, ice maker, and lobster pot. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
