Experience of the stay
OMO5 Otaru is located about a 10-minute walk from Otaru Station.
One of the two buildings is said to have been an old Chamber of Commerce, giving it a very dignified and charming appearance.
I stayed at the neighboring accommodation, which was a cozy and calm hotel.
What was most wonderful about this hotel was the BAR located in the building that used to be the Chamber of Commerce.
It serves as the breakfast buffet venue, but in the evening, the ambiance is set with calm candlelight and the performance of an antique music box. I was healed by the melody of the music box and had a wonderful time.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Otaru Canal and its surroundings.
Among the highlights, Otaru's sushi is famous, and I visited two sushi shops.
Both places served sushi with a gentle flavor that warmed my heart.
During my sightseeing, I had the delightful coincidence of encountering the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
Otaru is rich in historical buildings, and it was fun to explore them.
Additionally, it's just under two hours by train to Sapporo, which is a unique advantage for traveling in Hokkaido without a car.
