Karaoke in Otsu means a private room for your group, rented by the half hour, with a drinks menu delivered to the door. It is where nights end once the bars close: most karaoke buildings run until 05:00 or later, and after-midnight "free time" packages are the cheap way to wait for the first train.

Expect ¥300–¥800 per person per 30 minutes before midnight, more on weekends, and a one-drink-minimum at many places. Song catalogues have tens of thousands of English tracks — the tablet has an English mode.
