Breakfast was really great. There were various things and they were good taste also. The location was closed to many attractive places in Otaru. We just walked around there to find some restuarants. Really comfortable for my family...

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).

The hotel: Great location, staff service facilities and everything you need to support your comfortable stay, a little cosy but expected in the country.
The town is lovely and has now become my most favourite town in Japan, want to be here more, it give me relax, local people are also very nice.
We are avid travellers and as we live in the tropics, we often travel during winter to experience the snow. It was not our first visit to Otaru and we are experienced driving in snow. As the road to the property is a steep slope, with changes in temperature, the melted snow made the road too slippery to drive up. When I walked up, I slipped and fell and had to slide down to the bottom of the slope. We also saw a taxi alight passengers at the bottom of the slope, without luggage, it is possible to slowly climb.
Everything was perfect.
The staff were amazing! Welcoming and kind and helped me with everything I needed.
Even more than that, the guesthouse owner suggested to take me to a place I wanted to go in their car without asking for anything in return. They showed me the beautiful places of Otaru and because of them I had an amazing experience! :D
I definitely recommend Wa No Kaze for everyone who comes to Otaru and Hokkaido!
Bonus: the main tourist attractions are 15 minutes walk from the guesthouse!
There is something very special about this place. It brought me so much peace. Two kind gentlemen run the hotel. It was quiet when I stayed, not many guests. I wished I’d booked another night. Hearing the ocean lap against the shore, clean rooms and everything felt new. I feel lucky to have experienced this place. I went by car. Otaru is close but if you don’t like being in the heart of a city, this place is a gem!
Very friendly staff. It is best if you can speak Japanese. Staff can communicate in basic English and they really try their best! Clean and well-maintained. Pleasantly quiet for a hostel. Location is in a residential area, you definitely get to see a different side of Otaru. Free parking approximately 5 min walk from the hostel. Fantastic value for money.
We enjoyed our stay in Otaru, it was nice to be able to relax on the couch in the evening. Well equipped apartment. Friendly and quick responsive hosts, we appreciate it. Good heating system in the living/sleeping room, electric kettle and some tea/coffee. There was a fridge too. Parking in front of the building.
Modern-style hotel with comfortable tones. A comfortable stay in very central Otaru just a few minutes walk to the canal. The room is standard Japanese size with an elegant style. The breakfast was above average with tasty rice. The staff was very helpful.
-big room
-good temperature control system
-professional staff
-free parking
-extremely near asarigawaonsen ski
-40-min drive from Kiroro Ski, same as accoms in Otaru
Hotel is just outside Otaru train station. Easy to drop your bag and continue your tour without waiting for check in. Onsen and free food at the hotel is great!
I enjoyed staying here and using it as a base to sightsee in Otaru. Clean comfortable rooms and good value for money. The staff were really kind and friendly.
O`popo is within a quick walk of the Canal distrcit of Otaru. More than that, the hotel is more like staying in a guest room at someone`s house and very cozy.
The space of the room. It's not easy to find hotel rooms this big in Japan. I was surprised by the size and the beautiful view from the room to the sea.
