[2025 Otaru Attraction] Travel Guide for The Bank of Japan Otaru Museum (Updated Mar)

📍Keywords: Recommended star 4, commercial town, suitable for walking, and excellent scenery along the JR route. 💮Accommodation and transportation: Otaru is suitable for one or half a day, but the accommodation price is relatively high, not as good as Sapporo, which can be reached in half an hour by JR. 💮Recommended route: 1. Don’t play with your phone from Sapporo to Otaru, there are beautiful scenery along the way, and the train is by the sea! The Sankaku Market is on the left side when you exit the station. If you haven’t been to Hakodate, you can come here to visit! 2. Go downhill to the port and walk for 10 minutes to the Otaru Canal. You can go to letao for dessert first, and the museum is next door [there are many letao stores, including the airport, so you don’t need to buy too much] 3. The canal is the check-in point and the most crowded place. It is good both during the day and at night, but the canal is actually very small and can be walked in less than 300 meters. 4. After that, you can walk to the Music Box Museum. There are food and shopping along the way, and there are many glass shops that are worth visiting. 💮Food recommendation: letao is a specialty of Otaru. The way Japanese desserts are made makes you want to buy them! ! Other seafood rice dishes are not as cost-effective as those in Hakodate, but you can still try them, generally 2000-4000 yen. 💮Museum recommendations: 1 Otaru Canal Museum [300 yen] Learn about the history of the canal 2 Financial Japanese Yen Museum Free, learn about the history of the Japanese yen, and experience the weight of 100 million yen with your own hands! Finally, a picture is provided which is the recommended walking route. If you are playing for half a day, it is recommended to walk to the Music Box Museum and then turn back!

#getgoing2025 The former Otaru Branch Financial Museum of the Bank of Japan is a museum that utilises historical buildings designated as tangible cultural properties designated by Otaru City. As the name suggests, it introduces and exhibits the history and business of the Bank of Japan. " In the "Business Exhibition Zone", the safe that was actually used in the bank is reproduced, and you can also see the inside. In addition, there is also a space where you can experience valuable things, such as experiencing the weight of 100 million yen. You can also watch a video introducing the Bank of Japan's business, so you will feel the abstract concept of finance concretely.

I love old banks because they have a lot of solid buildings😍 Am I the only one who is especially excited about the sash windows at the reception desk?! ---------------------------------------------------- ◆Building🏠 Bank of Japan Otaru Branch 1-11-16 Ironai, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0031 ◆Access🚶 11 minutes on foot from Otaru Station ◆Price💰 Free ◆Reservations No ◆Photos📷 OK ---------------------------------------------------- Retro Walk | Walking around the city in a kimono ↓Recommended for these people! -Retro lovers -Want to know where you can wear a kimono👘 -Want to spend a relaxing weekend or trip -------------------------------------------------- [Retro Walk's thoughts🕰️] Retro Walk was started with the desire to make people feel that "old" is "beautiful" and stop to look at it. Japan has many wonderful historic buildings, but they are difficult to maintain and are often demolished. This is true not only for buildings, but also for traditional Japanese objects and techniques. I hope that this will be an opportunity for as many people as possible to take a fresh look at old things before they disappear from Japan. If you find a place that catches your eye, please take a retro stroll and take a break! ---------------------------------------------------- #DomesticTravelRecord

Otaru, Hokkaido. The area around the Bank of Japan's Otaru Branch and Financial Museum was known as the "Northern Wall Street" from the late Taisho to early Showa periods! Many materials are on display in places that are essential to the history of that period. The windows that were probably used in the past still retain their original appearance, and the atmosphere, which is different from the present, is also a good clue to the era. The exhibits are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and some items are displayed using models. There are also exhibits of equipment that was actually used. Of course, you can see a large safe. There was also an exhibition of the new banknotes that are scheduled to be issued in the first half of July 2024 (photography prohibited)😊 There is also a corner where you can experience the weight of 100 million yen, so please try it out☺️ Admission to the museum is free. 550m to JR "Otaru Station" "Bank of Japan Former Otaru Branch and Financial Museum" 1-11-16 Ironai, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0031 #Hokkaido #Otaru #Museum #HokkaidoTrip #OtaruTrip #OtaruTourism #HokkaidoTourism
