A share house nestled between the lake and the mountains, where the only sounds you hear are birds singing. Just a short walk away, the white sandy shores of Lake Biwa spread out before you. Strolling along the lakeside leads to swimming areas and BBQ spots, and a little farther on, you’ll find vast natural landscapes filled with mountain ranges. This is a place where you can slow down and relax, far from the noise and rush of city life.
During the cooler seasons, remote work while gazing out over the lake is especially recommended. In spring and autumn, enjoy hiking in the surrounding mountains. In summer, swim in Lake Biwa and have a BBQ. In winter, go snowboarding at Biwako Valley. This nature-rich share house offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and enjoyable throughout the year.
Despite its tranquil, resort-like setting, the location is also highly convenient, with direct train access to Kyoto City and Otsu City, making commuting easy. Live in a resort-like environment while working in the city—experience this lifestyle that many people dream of at Mezzoloke Kitahira.
If you’re even a little curious, come and take a look!
You’re more than welcome to visit — even if it’s just to see the place or have a quick chat.
