A day trip to Otaru, a love letter check-in spot!

📍Keywords: Recommended star 4, commercial town, suitable for walking, and excellent scenery along the JR route. 💮Accommodation and transportation: Otaru is suitable for one or half a day, but the accommodation price is relatively high, not as good as Sapporo, which can be reached in half an hour by JR. 💮Recommended route: 1. Don’t play with your phone from Sapporo to Otaru, there are beautiful scenery along the way, and the train is by the sea! The Sankaku Market is on the left side when you exit the station. If you haven’t been to Hakodate, you can come here to visit! 2. Go downhill to the port and walk for 10 minutes to the Otaru Canal. You can go to letao for dessert first, and the museum is next door [there are many letao stores, including the airport, so you don’t need to buy too much] 3. The canal is the check-in point and the most crowded place. It is good both during the day and at night, but the canal is actually very small and can be walked in less than 300 meters. 4. After that, you can walk to the Music Box Museum. There are food and shopping along the way, and there are many glass shops that are worth visiting. 💮Food recommendation: letao is a specialty of Otaru. The way Japanese desserts are made makes you want to buy them! ! Other seafood rice dishes are not as cost-effective as those in Hakodate, but you can still try them, generally 2000-4000 yen. 💮Museum recommendations: 1 Otaru Canal Museum [300 yen] Learn about the history of the canal 2 Financial Japanese Yen Museum Free, learn about the history of the Japanese yen, and experience the weight of 100 million yen with your own hands! Finally, a picture is provided which is the recommended walking route. If you are playing for half a day, it is recommended to walk to the Music Box Museum and then turn back!
