Experience of the stay
After staying at OMO3 in Susukino, Sapporo, the next day I moved to OMO5 Otaru. I unintentionally hopped between the OMO series.
Since it’s category 5, the room is spacious, and the layout is comfortable with separate toilet and bath facilities. However, it only has a shower and no large public bath, so if you’re sensitive to the cold (like me), it might feel a bit lacking in winter.
The room is Western style, but you can relax by taking off your shoes, which I think is nice for families with children.
There’s a water battle available, so you fill the water from the water server on the first floor. Pajamas are also rented out for a fee.
The building itself is a mix of a historic building used as a history museum and a regular building. We stayed in the regular one, but if you want to enjoy the retro feel of Otaru, you might want to check out the history museum.
Experiences during the trip
Otaru had a short stay and I didn’t do much sightseeing, but walking along the Otaru Canal at night with my daughter is a very nice memory. In July, the temperature was just right, and the wind chimes hanging from the street lamps made a soothing sound, which was healing. The lighting at the street corners was also lovely💓
