Otaru Furukawa Hotel

This hotel is located next to the Otaru Canal. It is very historical. In addition, the interior decoration is also very artistic. The hot spring is also very clean. There is a dog in the lobby named Canal, who is the treasured dog manager of the hotel😍. It is very cute! 

If I get a chance, I would like to visit this place again in the winter. It is a good distance to walk from Otaru Station with a carrier. When I arrived at the hotel, the staff welcomed me from the entrance and helped me carry my luggage while I checked in. I didn't request dinner so I couldn't eat it, but breakfast didn't have many options, but it had all the necessary menus, and it was set up neatly, which was impressive. And the milk was especially delicious. The day we went was the last day of the Otaru Ushio Matsuri, so there were fireworks. I couldn't see it from outside, so I asked if I could see the fireworks well from my room, and they told me that the hotel rooftop was open from 8 o'clock, so I was able to see the beautiful fireworks there. Also, the facilities were old, but they felt well-maintained, and the bedding was very soft and nice in the tatami room. And most of all, I liked that the check-out time was 12 o'clock. I was able to enjoy the hot spring leisurely in the morning. The lounge had a nice retro atmosphere, but it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't enjoy it. You can see the Otaru Canal right in front of you. This is the accommodation that allowed me to make good memories in Otaru.

At the end of my trip, I wanted to enjoy Otaru leisurely, so I decided to stay one night and chose this accommodation. I can still feel the relaxation I had while looking at the most beautiful scenery of the Otaru Canal from the canal view room. I also loved the open-air hot springs where I could relieve the fatigue of my travels, so I went there both in the evening and early in the morning. Thanks to this, I walked along a quiet canal without people. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly. The only thing is that we chose a tatami room, but there was a smell of old straw? The same thing came out. It's okay because you get used to it over time, but you can feel it when you first open the door. It's been so long since I remember other ryokans, but I'm not sure if the tatami rooms were originally like that.

位置絕佳，房間絕佳，早餐絕佳

It's full of antique style. You can even have a private bath in the tatami room. The service is excellent. In the morning, you can see the Otaru Canal directly from the window.
