🏮 Otaru Travel, a Sensational Port City with a Canal Walk 🌊❄️

#OverseasTravel 🏮 Otaru Travel: A Sensational Canal Walk in a Port City 🌊❄️ Otaru (小樽), a port city about 30-40 minutes from Sapporo by JR, is a must-see destination in Hokkaido for its old-world charm and romantic scenery. Especially in winter, the snow-covered canals and gaslights create a fairytale-like atmosphere. 📍 Major Attractions • Otaru Canal: A stroll along the canal, illuminated by streetlights, makes for a photogenic spot. The romantic atmosphere is further enhanced by the snow-covered winter snow. • Orgeldoh (Music Box Museum): This museum houses over 30,000 music boxes, a place filled with music and sentiment. Music boxes are available for purchase as souvenirs. • Sakaimachi Street (堺町通り): This street is lined with glass workshops, dessert shops, and souvenir shops. Glass crafts are a famous Otaru specialty. • Tenguyama Observatory: Take the ropeway to the top for panoramic views of Otaru City and the ocean. It's especially famous for its beautiful night views. 🍴 Recommended Food • Otaru Sushi Street: A cluster of sushi restaurants serving fresh seafood. • LeTAO: The flagship store of a nationally renowned cheesecake brand. We recommend the limited-edition menu available only in Otaru. • Otaru Beer: Craft beers from local breweries are also popular. 🚗 Travel Tips • JR Otaru Station is the most convenient way to get from Sapporo. • Be careful of slipping during the winter due to heavy snowfall. • The canal area is at its most beautiful in the evening when it's illuminated. #otarutravel #otarucanal #LeTAO #otarusushi #musicalboxdo #tenguyamaobservatory #sakaimachistreet #hokkaidotravel
