After the epidemic is over, I can finally go out. The first stop is still Otaru. I spent the New Year here 5 years ago, and I couldn't go out since then. Unlike the hotel near the canal I chose to stay in before, this time I chose North Otaru, far away from tourists, so I booked Jinyuan. There are basically no hotels in North Otaru, and there are very few tourists. It is very quiet, especially suitable for a quiet vacation. I stayed for a week at a time, and I decided to go out every day according to the weather and mood, sometimes very early, sometimes very late. The week I went to Otaru happened to catch up with the Hokkaido storm, but Otaru was very good. Although it snowed every day, big or small, there was sunshine every day. Funamizaka, the canal and the observation deck under the blue sky and sun were really beautiful. The area where Jinyuan is located belongs to Temiya. The cherry blossoms in spring should be very beautiful. You need to take a car to go out to most places. There are not many buses in Otaru. They all run according to the schedule. If you are not in a hurry, it’s okay. Sometimes it’s also very comfortable to stroll slowly. Although the temperature in Otaru is not high in winter, the outdoor body does not feel cold, which is much more comfortable than Beijing. I brought "Love Letter" with me to watch this time, in commemoration of Miho on the 30th anniversary of the movie. I read a little bit every day, and in a week, I finished reading it just before leaving Otaru. The plan for this trip is to read books and watch Otaru in the movie. The room I booked, 203, is the largest room in Jinyuan. It is on the second floor. It is very warm and quiet. The only inconvenience is that the stairs are very narrow. If you take too heavy luggage up and down the stairs, it will be troublesome. I didn't bring big luggage, so there is no such difficulty. Remind other friends to pay attention. There is a big supermarket near Jinyuan, which is very convenient to buy food. The kitchen on the first floor can cook. Although I am a lazy person who buys simple food and doesn't need to cook, I can also supplement vegetables if I want to. Otherwise, the staple food and meat in the restaurant outside are enough, but there are still not enough vegetables and fruits. The owner is a sister from Northeast China. She is very nice. She doesn't live here usually. If there is any problem, communicate in advance. She is very serious and responsible. I saw some good and some bad comments in the comments. How should I put it? You should still choose accommodation according to your own preferences. The hotels near the canal are very convenient for transportation, but the rooms are very small, especially the bathrooms. There are all kinds of tourists everywhere, which is annoying and noisy. Jinyuan is quiet and comfortable. It is a residential area in Japan, which is very suitable for a slow life of leisure and vacation. I personally like it and will continue to choose it next time I go to Otaru, because Otaru is a place suitable for a quiet and slow-paced life. Those who pursue food, drink and shopping can choose Tokyo or Osaka. The most important thing is to know your own requirements.
