Kurosaki Villa
Nagahama City, Shiga Pref.
Nestled in the serene northern region of Lake Biwa—Japan’s largest freshwater lake—this unqiue villa, built in 1998, offers a charming blend of thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship. Though compact in size, the home boasts a distinctive architectural character and is finished with premium materials and features. Inside, Western-style comfort is complemented by traditional Japanese touches, including a cozy Tatami room, a sunken kotatsu for warm winter gatherings, and a luxurious open-air bath. Each window frames a unique view of the surrounding trees and seasonal flowers—like gazing at living paintings created by nature. The outdoor bathing area evokes the tranquil ambiance of a private Onsen Ryokan, offering a peaceful retreat right at home. Access to Shinaknsen stations is also convenient—Tsuruga Station is just a 35-minute drive away, while Maibara Station can be reached in 45 minutes.
