Otsu (pronounced as Otz).

by A2002 - last update: Oct 12, 2002

Lake Biwako.

Michigan on Lake Biwako.
Otsu is just beside Lake Biwako, the biggest lake in Japan. One of the attraction in Otsu seems to be only the "Michigan". A leisure cruise with buffet meal. The tour guide told us that there used to be a theme park in Otsu, but it is now closed due to the lack of people visiting it partly due to the 1999 economic crisis throughout Asia.

 How interesting that a Mississippi steamboat replica is named after a different state (Michigan) where no such ships are to be found!

 And the onboard show is awful - but the view across the lake is nice
