Headed to Japan in about a month for a six week stay, where I’ll be working on a research project at a local university. Haven’t nailed down a place to stay yet and am contemplating options in Otsu and Kyoto.
The campus I’ll be working at is in Otsu, and I’ve even found a few places that are near the station I’ll get my bus from. That being said, I wouldn’t mind experiencing some nightlife or be somewhere fun in the evenings, and the area I was contemplating seems a bit sleepier? I understand it’s kinda complicated to head into Kyoto for that kinda thing since the trains stop running at midnight
Anyone found themself in my predicament, or have any advice on this? Obviously, there’s also some financial advantages to Otsu, but I wonder if it’s worth the tradeoff. Plus I also don’t want to give myself an awful commute either.
I just want to have a place with fun things to do in the evening since that’ll be a good chunk of my free time while there. Also open to any recommendations in the general area and region.
