Otaru: A Romantic Atmosphere from the Meiji and Taisho Eras

In winter, Otaru's snow-covered streets and vintage architecture create a unique charm. Strolling through the streets of Otaru feels like stepping back in time to the Meiji and Taisho periods.

In Otaru, LeTAO's cafes and bakeries are must-visit spots for every traveler. Their cheesecake, paired with a steaming cup of coffee, is simply the best treat for the winter season.

The streets of Otaru are lined with a variety of boutique shops, offering an array of souvenirs, from exquisite handicrafts to local specialty snacks.

Before shopping, you can also take a walk along the canal.
