When is the best time of year to visit Otsu?

If your definition of "best" means when you'll score the best deals, pack your suitcase and head for Otsu in February. In contrast, August is the most expensive month to plan a getaway.

4.2/5Very Good! (38 reviews)

Spacious rooms, company-managed, 24-hours customer service. The location is walkable from the biggest station of the city, and food options around are great too. Just remember to contact the hotel before arrival to double check your hotel-side reservation number and room number, as you’ll need these when you do self-check-in. The coffee shops nearby don’t seem to open early in the morning so if you need a cup of coffee I recommend to walk to the Starbucks inside the Kansai University.
