Today, the promenade along the canal is maintained and many people walk along the canal. Merchants' houses and Western-style buildings that tell of the city's past prosperity still remain on Sakaimachi Street, and they have become fashionable shops that welcome tourists.

#September2024 9.6 Food Sharing 💞Recommended reason: When traveling in Otaru, I was particularly looking forward to tasting the local seafood delicacies, and Seiichiya, a sea urchin specialty store located in Sakaimachi Shopping Street in Otaru City, was undoubtedly my first choice. This restaurant specializes in serving a wide selection of sea urchins from Hokkaido and other regions, which is exciting for a sea urchin lover like me. First of all, the restaurant's signature dish, the "Five-color Sea Urchin Rice Bowl", is a delicacy not to be missed. This dish allows me to enjoy the flavors of sea urchins from five different regions at once. The characteristics of each type of sea urchin are perfectly presented in terms of texture and taste. The restaurant emphasizes the fresh sea urchins purchased that day, and every bite is full of the fresh taste of the ocean. Although the price is relatively high at ¥7700 (tax included) per serving, it is definitely worth it for the quality and variety of the sea urchins. In addition to sea urchin, the restaurant's seafood miso soup is also delicious and full of the fresh aroma of seafood. However, the crab part can be omitted (for seasoning?). We dined at 10am, no need to queue, the restaurant staff spoke fluent English, no problem communicating with them, very comfortable. 📍Address: 2-18 Sakaimachi, Otaru City (located in the shopping street) #Otaru #Otaru Food #Sea Urchin #100 Ways to Travel #Sapporo Food

#JapanTravel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTravel #Otaru #OtaruCafe 🌝 I was casually walking around Otaru Sakaimichi and visited a huge variety of sweets. I recommend a sweets shop cafe that was successful ✨ 📍Ryugetsu Otaruto-ten: 3-18 Sakaimachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0027 Japan 📍Opening hours: 09:30~17:30 🍰Let me introduce you to the pretty cafe ‘Ryugetsu Otaruto-ten’ in Otaru Sakaimichi that catches the eye with its colorful and pretty packaging! It is a cafe that opened in Hokkaido and the main menu of the cafe is good butter and dairy products! Otaruto-ten sells sweets, so it is a good place to buy gifts for your acquaintances! 🎨The mosaic-style tile painting of the Otaru Canal is beautiful and it is also good to look at the aesthetics of every corner of the cafe! While walking along Otaru Street, I recommend taking a break at ‘Ryugetsu Otaru Toten’!

#JapanTravel #HokkaidoTravel #Hokkaido #Miffy #Otaru #OtaruTravel 🐰 A cute and colorful Otaru Miffy concept store filled with cute Miffys! 📍Miffy Oyatsudo: 7-2 Sakaimachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0027 Japan 📍Opening hours: 09:30~17:30 🐇 There is a 'Miffy Oyatsudo' store in Otaru with the concept of Miffy's kitchen, famous for its pure white rabbit character! It is a concept store located in Otaru Sakaimichi with many craft products, character products, and accessories. There are also limited Miffy products sold only in Otaru, and it is a place full of cuteness and has a photo zone, so it is great to visit with children! 💗 There are photogenic objects on the 2nd floor, so I recommend visiting Miffy Oyatsudo when you visit Otaru! ✨

📍Otaru Sakaimachi Street ✔️ Address 4-4 Sakaimachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0027 Japan ✔️ Places to visit Orgeldoh, LeTAO Main Store, Kitaichi Hall, Snoopy Chaya, Glass Workshop, etc. ✔️ Recommended Otaru travel course Otaru Station - Triangle Market - Otaru Canal - Sakaimachi Street - Minami Otaru Station Do you know where Otaru Sakaimachi Street is?😀 If you walk from Otaru Canal to Orgeldoh, you will naturally pass by Sakaimachi Street~ Usually, you only mark Orgeldoh on the map and go, but then you think, "Oh, there's a lot here?" You might pass it by, but the street where the music box shop is located is Otaru Shikaimachi Street☃️ The most famous tourist attraction, the music box shop, as well as the LeTAO main store, Kitaichi Hall, Snoopy Chaya, and many other shops are located here, so if you leave plenty of time, you can look around more leisurely. There was also a glass workshop and a lot to see, but I was so disappointed that I only had a quick look around because I didn't have time🥹 If you are going to Otaru after reading this article, use it as a reference and plan your schedule leisurely! #JapanTravel #TravelPlan #Otaru #SapporoTravel #Sapporo #Japan

This is a store that's hard to review for men, but the hairpins are really nice. They really appeal to me. Hairpins are associated with traditional Japanese clothing, but here they have a wide selection of hairpins that have been arranged in a modern way to go with Western clothing. Of course they also have traditional ball hairpins and old-looking reproduction hairpins. They would look great with a yukata in the summer. Other than hairpins, they also have a wide selection of accessories, including bracelets and earrings! #retrotownscape #TaishoRomantic #Japaneseclothing #yukata #souvenirs

We wandered down Sakaimachi Hondori Street in Otaru and it felt like stepping into a living postcard. The street begins under a charming, old-fashioned oil lamp that casts a warm glow—one of those moments that makes you stop, look up, and think, “Yeah, this is Japan, just as you imagine.” A highlight is the famed Otaru steam clock, perched about midway along the street. We caught it as it let off its signature steam puffs and melodic chimes, pausing nearby to watch both kids and adults light up in delight. It’s endearingly whimsical—and surprisingly loud! The street itself is lined with wooden storefronts, each with thoughtfully displayed artisanal goods, from glassware and souvenirs to sweet shops and cafés. You feel the history, but with a lively, modern heartbeat—artists and small-shop owners give the place soul. The mix of glass studios, vintage shops, and food stalls means you’re never short on things to see or taste. One of my favorite moments was grabbing a treat from a sweet shop and eating it while standing beneath that old lamp at dusk, watching the street lights flicker on and the steam clock finish its chime. It’s simple, but the vibe is so Otaru—nostalgic, cozy, and quietly vibrant. If you’re in town, don’t rush. Take your time, let the clock’s whistle surprise you, and start your stroll under that welcoming lamp. It’s a perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary warmth. #summervacay #Otaru #SakaimachiStreet #OtaruSteamClock #JapanImpressions #CharmingJapan #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #japan #japantrip

#Overseas travel The most memorable place in Hokkaido Otaru trip🥹✨ Sakaimachi-dori, a retro street full of pretty shops💛 ⠀ 🚶♀️Starting from Merchen intersection to Orgeldang🎶, Kitaichi Glass Studio, and Otaru's 3 major desserts (LeTao🍰, Kitakaro🍞, Rokkatei🍫)! Every time I look, I feel emotional🌸 ⠀ 🎠 At Orgeldang, I was able to experience making my own music box, and the steam clock that plays a melody is completely emotional🥺 ⠀ 🧁 I ate cheesecake at LeTao, and took out a roll cake at Kitakaro✨ I just ate the Rokkatei chocolateㅋㅋ ⠀ 💛 Snoopy Shop & Miffy Shop are really cute… There are many limited edition goods and the prices are reasonable, so my wallet is empty🫠 ⠀ The street itself looks like an old Japanese street movie set, and each store has its own atmosphere, so it was the best to look around while taking a walk🌿 ⠀ 🍂 Be sure to visit on a nice day. I really agree with the review that said it was better than the Otaru Canal😭 ⠀ #JapanTravel #Hokkaido #OtaruTravel #SakaimachiDori

#5月好去处2025 Address: 5 Minato-cho, Otaru City, Hokkaido Atmosphere/Facilities: The Otaru Canal has neatly paved trails, lined with cafes, craft shops and restaurants that were converted from old red brick warehouses. It is suitable for leisurely strolls during the day, and soft mood lights are lit at night, creating a romantic atmosphere, especially for couples to roam or take retro photos. Occasionally, there are sightseeing boats on the canal, providing guided tours, allowing tourists to appreciate the historical features of Otaru from the water. Features: The Otaru Canal was once a symbol of a prosperous fishing port, but now it has been transformed into a tourist landmark, retaining the nostalgic atmosphere of the past. The red brick warehouses and stone buildings are intertwined into a unique landscape, and the snowy scenery in winter is even more dreamy with the lights. This is not only a photography destination, but also a place to experience the unique history and literary atmosphere of Hokkaido. Every February, the "Otaru Snow Light Road" is held, with thousands of candles lighting up the entire canal, like a poem or a picture. Rating: ★★★★★（5/5） ⸻ Experience: Coming to the Otaru Canal is like accidentally entering a nostalgic painting. It was a cloudy and slightly chilly afternoon. Walking on the stone road polished by time, the river reflected the reflection of the red brick warehouse. There were not many tourists, and the atmosphere was quiet and poetic. Every corner and every window lattice seemed to hide a story. Can you imagine that a hundred years ago this was a port with busy goods and workers coming and going in a hurry? Although it is quiet now, it is more precious because of this tranquility. I casually walked into a warehouse-converted cafe, ordered a cup of hot cocoa, and looked at the canal through the glass, as if time had stopped. Jazz music was playing in the store, which was wonderfully in line with the nostalgic scenery outside the window. I even saw a couple in retro dresses taking wedding photos. The picture seemed to travel through time and space, making people unconsciously want to become romantic. There are also many glass craft shops and music box museums along the way, and the handmade products show the craftsman spirit of Otaru. I bought a small glass pendant with fine snow and blue bubbles inside, as if to seal the memory of this afternoon. The Otaru Canal at night is even more amazing, with the reflections of street lights and warehouse lights interweaving, making the entire canal dreamlike. If you come here in winter, when the snowflakes slowly fall, this is simply a romantic scene with an explosive index. Whether you are a literary youth, a couple, or a lone traveler who likes quiet travel, the Otaru Canal can bring you a unique journey. There is no hustle and bustle of modern cities here, only the charm of the old city whispering quietly. Come here, and you will understand that Otaru is not a tourist attraction for a quick visit, but a long-lasting memory. #小樽苍苍 #小樽 #小樽藝術村 #小樽觀景船 #小樽好去 #Hokkaido 打签景景 #小樽打签

#5月好去处2025 📌Address: 1-3-12, Ironai, Otaru City, Hokkaido (next to the Otaru Canal, about 5 minutes walk) Japanese name: Manjiro (まんじろう) 🏠 Atmosphere/Facilities: Located in a quiet alley near the Otaru Canal, the wooden Japanese-style decoration is full of nostalgic atmosphere🏮, small and quiet, with a bar and simple seats, as if stepping into the locals' daily canteen. It is very suitable for traveling alone or for a small gathering of two people🍵. 🍱Features: Mainly grilled fish and set meals, fresh seafood of the day is grilled, presenting the purest fish flavor of Hokkaido🐟🔥. The set meals all come with rice, miso soup and side dishes, with moderate portions and careful presentation. The most popular ones include grilled salmon set meals and seasonal salt-grilled fish set meals, which are simple but very satisfying. 💰Price per person: About ¥1,300～¥1,800/person, mainly in cash, the price is reasonable👍. ⭐Rating: ★★★★★ (4.7/5) A famous set meal restaurant that you can't miss in Otaru, a quiet, warm, and soulful meal. ⸻ 🐟【Food Review｜Eating a fish quietly is the most down-to-earth enjoyment in travel】 Walking on the streets of Otaru is always comfortable, the old houses in the alleys and the salty smell of the sea breeze make people slow down unconsciously. And on a quiet path next to the canal, we found this warm little restaurant-Manjiro. The store is not big, and you can smell the aroma of charcoal grilled fish as soon as you enter the door🔥. We ordered two popular set meals: grilled salmon set meal and salt grilled fish set meal. When it was served, the color and oiliness of the fish made people's eyes light up, and the whole set of dishes was also very Japanese-simple, clean and delicate. My grilled salmon had a slightly crispy skin, thick but soft fish meat, and the fat distribution was just right. After eating, the rich salmon aroma spread in the mouth😋. There was no extra seasoning, only salt to enhance the flavor, but it made people eat one bite after another, and it was really delicious with white rice! The miso soup was also boiled with kelp and fish bones, refreshing and not too salty, and it was very comfortable to drink. Another salt-grilled fish set meal used fresh mackerel of the day, which was grilled with a charred skin and tender meat🐟. As soon as you put it in your mouth, you can feel the aroma of charcoal fire and the freshness of fish meat. With pickled radish and side dishes, the whole meal is slow and steady. There are no noisy tourist crowds here, no gorgeous plating or marketing language, only the focus and sense of stability of "grilling a fish with heart". After eating this meal, not only is my stomach full, but my heart is also calm🧘♀️. If you come to Otaru, you might as well leave the tourist street a little bit, sit down here, and have a good meal. It's not fancy, but you will remember it for a long time. #小樽 #小樽苍苍 #JR小樽 #Hokkaido美食 #Salmon 定食 #小樽好去 #小樽観光スポット #万次郎

Otaru was a bit cold with a little snow from time to time. After checking into the hotel, I quickly put on some warm clothes before going out. It took about ten minutes to walk from the hotel across from Otaru Station to the Otaru Canal. This is my second time in Otaru. The Otaru Canal is beautiful. Although it is only a few hundred meters long, the warehouses and historical buildings from the Taisho period are lined up one after another. No matter which section you enter, it is picturesque. With the blessing of the snow, it is even more romantic and intoxicating. The surprise is that there is still a small section of snow lanterns, which are left over from the Snow Lantern Festival in February. It is really beautiful when lit up at night. There are various specialty shops in Sakaimachi-dori Shopping Street where you can stroll slowly. The steam clock at the end of the street will puff every fifteen minutes. Remember to stop and listen to the whistle and the clear and pleasant music. However, it may not be so punctual because it is so old. The snowy ground is slippery, so walk carefully to avoid falling. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Otaru trip from late January to early February. A cozy and warm city full of emotions where Eastern and Western cultures are delicately mixed! Who would have thought I would stay at the Orgeldang for 3 hours🥲🥹 The first floor is music boxes, the second floor is vintage expensive music boxes and stained glass lamps, and the third floor is cute Ghibli goods and dolls.. It was a time that was pleasing to the eyes, ears, and heart. After shopping, I visited a glass workshop along Sakaimachi Street and enjoyed a cup of Vienna coffee and a piano performance at a cafe in Kitaichi Glass Building 3☕️. The service wasn't very friendly, but the atmosphere was 👍🏻. It was the happiest time during my trip to Sapporo and Otaru. You have to check the time for the piano performance carefully..! And photos are not allowed during the performance. The waiting time is long, so it can be very cold in winter, so dress warmly! Kaisendon is super fresh too🤤😭 It was a one-day trip, but there was more to see and savor than I thought, so I went back on the last day and enjoyed it all. I always miss Otaru~ Otaru, deeply engraved in my heart💜..
