Port cities always make people excited.
The word “exotic” alone is not enough.
How exotic is it? What kind of world can you see?
If Kobe focused on buildings, Otaru focuses on technology.
Glasswork technology, confectionery manufacturing technology, music box manufacturing technology.
Of course, there are people inside.
Otaru is a city that shows that the world and people are connected.

Address: Minatomachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0007 area

Accessibility: About an hour by bus from Sapporo Station (700 yen one way)

1) Otaru Street Shopping District

This is a shopping district located right in front of Otaru Station. You can enjoy a wide range of sightseeing, including various clothing, accessories, and animation goods shops from around the world. You can also enjoy stamp rallies, as if you were traveling with characters that you can only see in the Otaru Street shopping district.

2) Japanese Home-style Ochawan

This is a Japanese home-style restaurant located in front of the Otaru Street shopping district. The most expensive sashimi set meal is 1,050 yen, and most menu items are less than 1,000 yen, which is great value for money. You can choose 1 or 2 out of 10 kinds of side dishes, so it is a meal that is not only full but also enough to leave you with some leftovers. Highly recommended!

3) Otaru Cruise & Canal

You can enjoy both the sea and the river in the port city of Otaru. The European-style buildings with vines hanging down are very emotional and are excellent photo spots. The sea and the river make it very cool even in the summer.

4) Diverse food culture

There is plenty of Otaru's unique food culture, such as oden, chocolate, and chicken. It is also good to get a gift set, and you can also get a factory tour, so you can get some benefits.

5) Various character culture

There are many famous character shops for watches such as Miffy, Snoopy, and Hello Kitty. There are also many goods that show the appearance of Otaru, so they are suitable as souvenirs. Characters do not discriminate between countries. Characters do not discriminate between people. Characters do not discriminate between you. Let's enjoy it together as a family.

6) Glasswork

This is one of Otaru's specialties. Enjoy the beauty and exquisiteness that is possible only through delicate Japan through glass. Make a pleasant dinner with a teacup and sake bottle set.

7) Music box workshop

This is the symbol of Otaru itself. Enjoy music boxes with various tones, animation songs, dragons, and various shapes such as carousels. I hope you have a relaxing time.

There are probably only a handful of such diverse spaces in Japan.
I hope you have a pleasant trip!
