Our adventure in Otaru, a charming port city on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan, was a whirlwind of cultural experiences and culinary delights, packed into a single day. With only 24 hours to immerse ourselves in the beauty and uniqueness of Otaru before boarding a ferry to continue our exploration of Japan, we aimed to experience as much as possible.
This episode of our travel series focuses on Otaru's most famous attractions, blending historical insights with local flavors. Our journey began at the Beef Cutlet Otaru Kurosawa, a renowned local eatery where we indulged in sumptuous beef cutlets, a perfect blend of crispy breading and tender, flavorful meat, a true testament to the culinary craftsmanship of Otaru.
As we wandered through Otaru’s historic Warehouse District, we were mesmerized by the quaint charm of the old buildings, now repurposed into chic boutiques and glass shops. These shops are famous for their intricate glassware, a specialty of Otaru.
A highlight of our visit was the Otaru Beer brewery, an establishment that prides itself on brewing beer using traditional German techniques. The distinct flavors of their beers, ranging from classic pilsners to rich stouts, provided a delightful contrast to the more familiar Japanese beer brands.
A boat cruise along the Otaru Canal offered a different perspective of the city. The serene waterway, lined with old warehouses and lit by gas lamps, exuded a nostalgic charm. This peaceful cruise allowed us to appreciate the slower pace of life in Otaru, a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Tokyo.
The Plumhouse Guesthouse, where we briefly stayed, was a cozy and welcoming place that offered insight into traditional Japanese hospitality. The guesthouse, with its warm wooden interiors and comfortable tatami rooms, provided a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.
One of the most enchanting stops was the Otaru Steamwhistle Clock, a unique timepiece that combines functionality with artistry. This clock is not just a way to tell time; it's a symbol of Otaru's industrial past, blending seamlessly with the city's modern rhythm.
Our visit to the Otaru Music Box Museum was a journey into a world of whimsy and nostalgia. The museum, with its extensive collection of intricately designed music boxes, some dating back to the 19th century, showcased the city's artistic heritage. The tinkling melodies of the music boxes created an atmosphere of enchantment, transporting us back in time.
An evening visit to the Kitaichi Hall Gas Lamp Cafe was like stepping into another era. The hall, lit solely by petroleum lamps, offered an ambient setting reminiscent of the early 20th century. The warm glow of the lamps, combined with the aroma of fresh coffee, created an unforgettable sensory experience.
Our culinary journey continued with a sake tasting session. Sampling various types of sake, each with its unique flavor profile, we gained a deeper appreciation for this traditional Japanese beverage. The local brewers' passion for sake making, along with their commitment to quality, was evident in every sip.
As our day in Otaru came to a close, we reflected on our experiences in this enchanting city. From the delicious local cuisine and the historical sites to the warm hospitality of its people, Otaru left an indelible mark on our hearts. Our final thoughts on this quaint port city were filled with gratitude for the rich cultural tapestry we had the opportunity to experience, even if just for 24 hours.

We went to Otaru a few years ago. Such a charming little city. We really enjoyed it!
And is it just me, or does that steam clock sound like an elementary school student attempting to show their parents what they learned on their recorder at school? 🤔😂🎼
Haha, we thought the same! It does sound like a recorder recital. 😅🎶🥴
HOLA AUDREY COMO ESTAS BESITO
Bandra East Mumbai mangala nikalje india
I always traveled from the age of 20 on my vacations. I always had an apartment and i am 81 now, and still have my apartment. I married at 27 and 31, and had my only daughter at 37. We do make our choices. I am an excellent cook, Muslim, and order my food online for home delivery. I love a homebase, and Queretaro is 70% less expensive than the USA.
RIP EVERYONE EVERYWHERE.
Thank you. BEAUTIFUL.
BEST deals are on 12/26 folks. Save your money.
Keep written, audio, and video journals every day.
Please research Stoicism for mental help.
I do not like beggars. Shame on all of you.
I am Muslim, so no pork or holidays, but I respect all religions.
Hola from Queretaro. Judi Grace
I respect you so much for being a non beggar. I am Muslim, but I respect all religions.
OVER 61 years coming to MEXICO. I live next door now in Queretaro.
MERIDA IS TOO HOT! since 2021 at 79.
ACAPULCO has earthquakes and hurricanes.
Queretaro works for me
I left the USA in 2021 for Mexico at 79. It was too deadly and expensive, and I am paying 70% less living in Mexico with all utilities, 100% furnished included, maid, security and wifi. I order my groceries online for home delivery, as I did in the USA. You still must be alert, where ever you move, but God helps those, who help themselves and are honest and not GREEDY and CORRUPT.
DO NOT SHACK,MARRY or have babies. DO not have life insurance. Donate your body. FREE. LIVE BY YOURSELVES!
Flattery is food for fools.
RESPECT YOU SO MUCH. YOU DO NOT Beg or a Scammer. I am 81 years young, coming to MEXICO, mainly Acapulco since age 20, all 50 states, and around the world on my own dime. I was raised not to beg, but to give to honest non beggars of my choice. I do not l like the buy me a coffee, drink etc. beggars. I have been speaking Spanish as a second language since age 14. Keep up the excellent videos.
RIP Everyone everywhere.
The dollar exchange makes my rent go up every month, but it is furnished an includes everything 70% less expensive than the USA.
Both USA and Mexico should speaks both languages, for we are neighbors.
TRUST GOD and FENTANYL.
FENTANYL...
I am 81, living in Queretaro for 2 years, but 0ver 61 years coming to MEXICO since age 20 in 1962. Acapulco is my favorite, but not the
earthquakes, so I chose QUERETARO. I started speaking Spanish at age 14 as a second language. You must be ALERT, block doors, for evil demon are everywhere. PLease side eye family and friends,
LESS expensive in MEXICO.
Allah u AKBAR GOD is GREAT.
PORK IS DEADLY.
I am so blessed, that I was raised by my elders to let go and let Go always. Do not worry about things I cannot change, or I would have not survived these 81 years. I will always defend myself, if attacked. Worry will destroy you folks. Be happy and not scary. God bless and keep everyone in perfect peace. for the devil is a liar. Stay alert but be happy for the next minute is not promised to you. We reap what we sow, and Karma never loses an address.
