❄️A Guide to Otaru, the City of Sushi

#JapanGuide Japan Travel Journal 44. Otaru 📍Otaru City Introducing Otaru, the first place that comes to mind when thinking of travel destinations near Sapporo. ✨. Otaru is a charming city with a small but impressive collection of attractions. Following Sakaimachi Street, you'll find shops selling beautiful glass crafts, the Otaru Music Box Museum selling music boxes, and the flagship store of LeTAO, a chain that originated in Otaru. As the backdrop for Mr. Sushi King, there are also many delicious sushi restaurants. 🍣. In the evening, the Otaru Canal, often featured in dramas, is beautifully lit up, making for some beautiful photos. 🌊. Because it's such a small city, shops, restaurants, and stores close early, but 🌙 you can enjoy the quietness late into the night. Many people consider Otaru a day trip destination, but for those who want to experience the quiet charm of a small town, I recommend staying overnight. ☺️. 🚇How to get to Otaru from Sapporo Take the Rapid Airport Express from Sapporo Station to Otaru Station (approximately 40 minutes) 📍Places to Visit in Otaru LeTAO Main Store, Otaru Music Box Museum, Kitakaro Otaru Main Building, Otaru Canal, Former Temiya Line, Otaru Sumiyoshi Shrine, etc. 🍣Otaru Restaurant Recommendations Kiku Sushi, Sushi Dokoro Shun 🏨Otaru Hotel Recommendations Grizz Premium Hotel Otaru, Grand Park Otaru #Japan #SmallCityTravel
