Home to Japan’s largest body of water, Lake Biwa, Otsu is famous as the nation’s lake capital, and is dedicated to creating a sustainable future for both its citizens and surrounding environment.

Located just nine minutes away via train from Kyoto Station, our city provides a more relaxed alternative to nearby larger cities such as Kyoto and Osaka that is equally rich with nature and history, and is home to various conference facilities that are perfect for small to medium sized conventions.

With joint subsidies from Otsu and Shiga prefecture of up to 12 million yen available, we eagerly await hosting your next event!

【Our Mission】

Our city is committed to promoting MICE related initiatives, with our current efforts including participation in business fairs, conducting business visits with potential clients, and providing support for hosting conventions within our city.

【Financial Support for Convention Hosting】

Our city currently offers up to 2 million yen in financial support for conventions held within Otsu. Financial aid is also available for conventions held outside the city that feature excursions in Otsu. For more information, please inquire with Otsu’s MICE Promotion Office.
