Otsu is the capital city of Shiga, Japan. The city was founded on October 1, 1898. As of October 1, 2010, the city has an estimated population of 338,629 with an average age of 40.7 years (15.42% of whom are under 15 and 16.81% are over 65) and a population density of 905.28 persons per Square kilometer. The total area is 374.06 Square kilometers. In the years 667 to 672, the mi tsu Palace was founded by Emperor Tenji. The Jinshin War devastated Otsu, but a new capital Heian-ky (now Kyoto) was established the immediate neighborhood in 794, and Otsu was revived as important traffic point and a satellite town of the capital. In the 12th century, the Battle of Awazu occurred in southern tsu, during which Kiso Yoshinaka was killed. Built during the 1890s and later expanded during the Taish period, the Lake Biwa Canal played an important role in connecting tsu and the nearby city of Kyoto, facilitating water and passenger transportation and also providing electrical energy to power Japan’s first streetcar railroad services. The city was founded on October 1, 1898.
