[2025 Otsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Michigan Cruise (Otsu Port / Lake Biwa Kisen) (Updated Jul)

If you come to Otsu on Lake Biwa for sightseeing and have time to spare, you should definitely take a cruise! The rooms are spacious and the view from the deck is amazing! If you go through the back of the VIP room, you can also go to the front deck! It's definitely worth going. The crew's 40th anniversary show was also very exciting, with great singing.

The Michigan Cruise, which allows you to elegantly cruise around Lake Biwa, is a popular activity perfect for both sightseeing and dates. The Michigan, with its distinctive red paddle wheel, is a sightseeing boat with a retro and stylish design. During the cruise, you can relax at the restaurant and cafe on board while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Biwa. We especially recommend Lake Biwa's specialty drink, Lake Biwa Soda. The refreshing blue color makes it stand out, and it's great to enjoy it while enjoying the scenery! Location: 5-1-1 Hamaotsu, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture (Otsu Port) #0 Yen Travel February 2025

This is a Michigan cruise on Lake Biwa. I applied for it on the Shinkansen EX, but it took a very long time to process the procedure at the counter. Maybe they're not used to it because there aren't many people there? I stayed at the Otsu Prince Hotel and participated in this tour, and it was my first time riding a pleasure boat on Lake Biwa. It wasn't very crowded because it was a weekday. It was the end of March, so the wind on the lake wasn't cold. I recommend it because you can fully enjoy the vastness and beauty of Lake Biwa.
