Day Trip to Otaru in Hokkaido

If you're traveling in Japan, I highly recommend visiting Hokkaido! Among the many destinations, Otaru is perfect for a day trip. This charming town is packed with sights to see and delicious food to enjoy.

Start your journey at Otaru Station, then take a leisurely walk along the Otaru Canal. Since Otaru is famous for glass crafts, make sure to visit the Kitaichi Glass Workshop to admire the variety of beautiful glass items. Don't forget to stop by the Music Box Museum as well!
