This is a bench directly in front of the north exit of Otsu Station.
The surrounding area is a government office district with a calm atmosphere, and the area in front of the station is also kept clean.
There's Heiwado (a supermarket), a 7-Eleven, and a Starbucks nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding food and drinks, except late at night.
You can also see Lake Biwa at the end of Chuo-Odori, a downhill street that stretches straight from the station.
