[Hokkaido] 8 Must-Visit Places and Eats in Otaru!

Head to cool Hokkaido in the summer ✈️

Here are some recommended spots in Otaru, a popular tourist destination in Hokkaido ✨

📍Otaru Canal
The Otaru Canal is a must-see when you visit Otaru.
It's lit up at night, offering a completely different view than during the day. 🌃If you have time, I recommend taking a sightseeing boat!

📍Glass Art N+
You can try glassblowing, something you've always wanted to try! 🫧
You can combine colors and patterns to create your own one-of-a-kind glass! 😍
Please note that reservations are required in advance!

📍Kamae
A beloved, long-established kamaboko (fish cake) shop in Otaru.
The bread roll is our top recommendation! Perfect for snacking on the go!
Be sure to enjoy this taste, which can only be found in Hokkaido! 😋

📍 Former Temiya Line Site
This spot, located on the way from Otaru Station to the Otaru Canal, is a must-visit for photogenic photos! 💞

📍 Otaru Music Box Museum
A historic building and rows of sparkling music boxes create a truly charming space. 💕 Find your favorite and take it home as a souvenir! 🛍️

📍 LeTAO Main Store
Enjoy souvenirs on the first floor and the cafe on the second floor! The wait time at the cafe is long, so it's efficient to check in first and then stroll around the area while you wait. 👍
If you come here, you definitely have to try the classic Double Fromage. 😋

📍 Kitaichi Glass Soft Serve Ice Cream
Their specialty is, without a doubt, the colorful 12-layer soft serve ice cream. 🍦
It's so filling, you'll enjoy it to the last drop! ✨ Of course, they also have smaller sizes, so even if you can't finish all 12 layers, don't worry!

📍 Young Chicken Age Naruto
If you're looking for the original zangi, this is it! Naruto!
Enjoy crispy and juicy zangi and fried chicken halves!🍴
You'll probably have to line up, but the turnover is fast, so I was able to get in without too long.

That's it for my top 8 recommendations in Otaru!
