Travel to Hokkaido Otaru, with hotel recommendations

Visiting Hokkaido, Otaru is definitely a must-visit city. This seaside town is not only the filming location of the movie 'Love Letter', but it was also once known as the 'Wall Street of the East'. The architectural style blends Western and traditional Japanese elements, plus the red brick warehouses, making it a place with its own unique urban culture. 🧳Three-day two-night travel recommendations Day1️⃣ ✅Take the JR to Otaru Station🚉. Otaru Station was built in 1934 and is one of the oldest reinforced concrete buildings in Hokkaido. Here you can get a free city map and classic information. ✅Otaru Shopping Street. There are many historic buildings here, and now it has become a travel checkpoint that operates various delicacies and souvenirs. ✅Music Box Museum. Music boxes are a specialty of Otaru, and the Music Box Museum has a long history and a large area. There are a lot of music boxes to choose from, and the museum's building, which was built during the Meiji period, is also one of the highlights. . day2️⃣ Mount Tengu Overlooking the entire city from a high point, the scenery is open and beautiful when the weather is good, and it is also one of the must-visit places in Otaru. 🚌Otaru round-trip to Mount Tengu 480JPY (round-trip) 🚡Mount Tengu cable car 1600JPY (round-trip) . day3️⃣ Otaru Canal The canal, red brick warehouses, and kerosene lamp roads, the retro atmosphere has attracted many artists to create and sell their works along the coast. You can take a cruise to experience Otaru from a different angle. . 🏨Hotel Recommendation This time we stayed at OMO5 Otaru, which has two buildings, one is transformed from the old Otaru Chamber of Commerce and Industry with nearly a hundred years of history, and the other is in a modern style. The interior of the hotel is full of retro charm. Especially the restaurant, where each dining table is lit by an oil lamp, and there is live music from antique music boxes in the evening, which is very romantic💕 . 📍The location of the hotel is very good, less than ten minutes' walk from JR Otaru Station, the shopping street, and Otaru Canal. 💁‍♂️I really like the feature here - OMO Ranger (city guide) service. The hotel staff are all locals, and they will take guests on a small tour first, introducing the city's historical stories and hidden gourmet restaurants unknown to tourists. This service has Chinese guides available~ The above are some practical travel tips for Otaru, remember to like and save.
