Today, it remains a thriving city with historic post town sites and cultural heritage spots as well as scenic Lake Biwa views, farmlands, and hiking access. Close to Ritsumeikan University’s Biwako-Kusatsu campus and a vibrant station area with shopping and dining, Kusatsu offers a real balance of suburban calm and urban convenience.

This blend of natural scenery, historical depth, and direct train access to Kyoto and Osaka makes Kusatsu a highly sought-after place to live.
