Aibano Villa
Takashima City, Shiga Pref.
This modern Villa on a hilltop is surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring, and offers a distant view of the northern part of Lake Biwa and the mountains that surround it. While it has a sturdy concrete foundation, the interior is mainly made of wood and there is even a fireplace, making for a tasteful lifestyle. Imazu at the foot of the mountain has a train station and a steamship port and is a historic place that has been known as a transportation hub since pre-modern times. In summer, you can enjoy fishing and playing in the water on the lake shore, and in winter, you can ski in the nearby mountains. There are many trains that directly connect Kyoto and Osaka depart from Omi-Imazu Station.
