Otaru in Winter: Quaint Streets and Warm Gyukatsu 🍂❄️🥩

#OverseasTravel

I visited Otaru in winter!
The cool breeze blowing through the streets of Otaru creates a sense of slowing down time.
Glass craft shops, music box stores, and charming cafes line the streets, making just walking through them a healing experience 🫧✨
• Gyukatsu Restaurant: I enjoyed a warm gyukatsu at a restaurant in downtown Otaru. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and juicy! ❄️🥩
• Tip: Indoor seating is recommended in winter. Enjoy a warm cup of tea before your meal.
• Experience the charm of Otaru:
• Browse glass craft shops and purchase your own glass creations.
• A stroll along the Otaru Canal is a must, even in winter. The illuminations and snow make for perfect photo opportunities! 📸
• Don't miss out on hot chocolate or Japanese desserts at these cozy cafes ☕🍰
• Transportation Tip: JR Otaru Station is easily accessible from Sapporo, making it easy to reach most tourist attractions on foot.
• Recommended Accommodation: Stay overnight at a guesthouse or ryokan near the canal and enjoy an evening stroll.

Otaru is a city that elevates your travel experience with its snowy winters, hearty food, and charming streets. 💛
