OTSU KATATA AND HIRA

In Otsu there is a comfortable Hotel for foreigners known by the name Kaikaro.

It stands in a fine place on the shore of the lake.

The distance to Otsu from Sanjio is three Ris.

The birds coming down to the building which is erected in the lake near Katata is one of the finest sights too.

From the house almost all of the lake can be seen.

The mountain Hira which is coverd with snow during winter and part of spring grants during that season, especially in the evening a very good sight indeed.
