Things to do in Ōtsu

Discover centuries of Buddhist history at Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hieizan. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most important monasteries in Japan and dotted with hundreds of temples, halls and pagodas. Some of the oldest date back to the 16th century.

You’ll see plenty of Lake Biwa seafood on menus, including eel, clams and silver carp. Funa-zushi, a type of fermented sushi, will tantalise your palate with a rich “umami” flavour.
