Bycicle tour around Lake Biwa ! Can be done in one or two days. There is a great volunteer organisation for international communication and exchange (VOICE) in Hikone that takes care of this once or twice every year and they have a lot of other tips too! Very nice people!
Fantastic site-seeing of Lake Biwa. Great accomodation at bungallows on the beach in Omi-Maiko town. BBQ at sunset, and sun rising from the water in the morning (if you wake up!!)

Otsu, at the bottom of Japan's largest lake, Biwa, is somewhat of a bedroom community for Kyoto or Osaka, yet boasts some of its own interesting attractions.
