Experience of the stay
It’s a simple yet very beautiful and calming hotel, and what I liked the most was the Japanese bath.
It's very conveniently located since it’s within walking distance from Sapporo Station, and it’s close to Susukino, allowing you to enjoy the heart of Hokkaido from this hotel.
I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Hokkaido for the first time!
Experiences during the trip
My first trip to Hokkaido. It’s a gift for my wife.
It might be clichéd, but I planned a schedule to enjoy Otaru and Sapporo.
After landing at New Chitose Airport, I decided to explore Otaru until check-in at the hotel later in the evening.
I took a train from Sapporo Station and after about 40 minutes arrived at Otaru Station.
I wanted to see the Otaru Canal, so I headed there first.
I was captivated by the vast Sea of Japan and truly felt that I had come to Hokkaido!
And I finally got to try the "Young Chicken Half-Fry" that I had been wanting to eat. Even though it was half a chicken, the size was big, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was incredibly delicious!
When I glanced at the wall of the diner, I saw a poster of the Otaru Fireworks Festival.
I thought they had forgotten to take down last year's poster, but it was for today's date!
"Yes! I get to see the fireworks!" My excitement skyrocketed!
I added this wonderful event that wasn’t on the schedule! The local feel of the Otaru Fireworks Festival, which has been cancelled for 3 years, was warm yet exhilarating, making it a memorable event.
On the second day, I enjoyed many Hokkaido specialties like the Clock Tower, Music Box Museum, seafood bowl, Genghis Khan, and ramen, mainly around Sapporo.
The scenery was fantastic, I got to eat lots of delicious food, and the best part was enjoying the fireworks. It was the perfect trip to Hokkaido!
