OTSU, Shiga Prefecture--A local real estate company is banking on steady demand to secure a scenic spot in the great outdoors away from the bustle of city life to enjoy some down time while the novel coronavirus pandemic rages.
But not too far away, and not too much of the outdoors.
Looking to capitalize on tourists looking for safe getaways to upscale lakeside accommodations, Keihan Real Estate Co. announced it is developing a "glamping" site near Lake Biwako in the Minami-Komatsu district in the Omimaiko area that is set to open in April.
