Where should I go? Recommended: a super chill city with delicious food: Otaru.

A charming little port city easily accessible
by express train from Sapporo, taking
approximately 30 minutes. 🚈

Start at the Otaru Canal, a popular tourist attraction
that's beautiful in every season. Built in the early 20th century,
it was used to transport goods to various warehouses.

If you'd like to take a boat tour of the Otaru Canal, they offer a service
starting at 1,500 yen for 40 minutes.
You can choose between daytime or nighttime. 🚤

Across the street is LeTao Canal Plaza Store, a famous cheesecake shop housed in an old warehouse.
I love the courtyard area, which has a common area.

Sakaimachi Street, a historic shopping district
Old buildings have been converted into shops,
cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, and
museums, offering a relaxing stroll.

Continue your stroll. This street is full of delicious food.
There are sashimi rice bowls, fresh seafood, and ice cream.
Fried chicken, grilled beef, and Yubari melon are also available.
This bowl is about 1,500 yen. 🍈

Next, we're going to the legendary Patissier cream puffs.
KitaKaro has a thin pastry topped with icing.
But the highlight is the rich, fragrant, and perfectly sweet cream filling.
The filling is a cool, overflowing cream.
Plus, it's not too expensive at just 300 yen.

Finally, we'll visit the Otaru Music Box Museum.
In front of the building,
there's an old steam clock that's still in working condition.
If you want to take a photo while it's blowing steam, you can wait.
It will blow steam and play music every 15 minutes.
Inside, there are many different types of music boxes.
You can buy them as souvenirs or gifts to take back to Thailand.
They're all so cute.
If you're looking for a place to visit near Sapporo, don't forget to stop by.
