Hokkaido Trip - Sapporo - Otaru

Early in the morning, we passed through the spacious and long underground street to reach Sapporo Station, where we found the JR line and bought tickets to Otaru from the self-service machine. We chose the unreserved seats for 750 yen per person and smoothly took the JR line to Otaru Station. As soon as we exited Otaru Station, we saw various shops with attractive goods, but we decided to explore the small town inside. Not far from the station, we saw the famous Otaru Canal. Under the blue sky and white clouds, small boats carrying tourists sailed on the canal, presenting postcard-like scenery that was beautiful from any angle. Crossing the canal and walking further in, we found various food and souvenir shops, making it hard for tourists to take it all in. We noticed that most of the tourists here were from Korea. Although it was Sunday, the crowd was manageable and not too crowded. Besides food and souvenir shops, there were many Glass Gallery art exhibitions, showcasing and selling various handicrafts, especially glass-made exhibits. Conclusion: Otaru is a seaside leisure place worth visiting. 👍
