Otsu is the capital city of Shiga Prefecture, located on the shores of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake. The city has historically served as an important transportation hub and was briefly the imperial capital of Japan in the 7th century.
Otsu's cultural heritage is closely tied to its proximity to both Kyoto and Lake Biwa, featuring significant Buddhist temples such as Mii-dera and Ishiyama-dera. The city's traditional arts include the unique Otsu-e folk paintings, which originated during the Edo period as simple Buddhist images and later evolved into more secular themes.
Today, Otsu maintains its role as a regional administrative and cultural center, blending historical significance with modern urban development.
