Located around Japan’s largest lake, Lake Biwa, Shiga Prefecture is blessed with abundant water and greenery. Its convenient access to Kyoto and Osaka has made it a popular commuter area. With historic landmarks such as Hikone Castle, Shiga offers both natural and cultural appeal. Otsu, the prefectural capital, borders Kyoto City, while cities like Kusatsu and Moriyama continue to grow in population. The main investment areas for whole apartment buildings are in Kusatsu, Moriyama, and southern Otsu, which attract commuters to Kyoto and Osaka, as well as students attending Ritsumeikan University’s Biwako-Kusatsu Campus (BKC). The steady rental demand from single professionals and students supports an active investment market.
