Slow travel Otaru

Otaru City is a port city located in the central region of Hokkaido, Japan. Otaru City is a port city that was developed relatively early in Hokkaido. Due to the trade with Western merchant fleets at that time, there are many centuries-old traditional historical buildings in the area. The mix of Japanese style and European architecture has created Otaru's unique urban charm. The Otaru Canal is an important attraction that all tourists must visit when they come to Otaru, Hokkaido. The scenery of snow falling in winter is really romantic. "Deba-koji" across the canal is an alley with many snack shops, such as cantaloupe ice cream, large takoyaki, seafood rice bowl, fried chicken, etc. Take a stroll to Otaru Sakaimachi-dori shopping street, where you can find Kitaichi Glass Museum, Otaru Olgordo Steam Clock, Otaru Romance Museum, Taisho Glass Museum, and must-buy Otaru souvenirs such as Rokkatei, Kitakaro, and LeTAO double-layer cheesecake.
