The breakfast in the morning was excellent! This was one of our favorite meals from our entire trip in Hokkaido. We also did dinner one of the nights and enjoyed it with some lovely local wine. The room had a great view from both the bedroom and the hot tub. We were very grateful for the shuttle to and from the hotel to Otaru Station since you do need some way to get into town. We let the hotel know in advance when we wanted to be picked up/dropped off. The shuttle is clearly labeled with the hotel name, was always a little early, and had our name listed to ensure they picked up all the guests. We were glad to have the convenience of some vending machines with drinks, beer/sake, and snack/ramen. Thanks so much for a wonderful time!

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...

This was a lovely town to visit! It's closer to Sapporo than I realized, so the train ride from there was very quick. We went to a few historical sites, the aquarium, shrines, and shopping. There was a lot of great food around the shopping and we picked up things as we went. Our best meal was the ramen and gyoza at Ramen Tokaiya! A small ramen shop with one guy manning the whole place. We made sure to go a little early so there was very little wait.

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).

Japanese home stay
Liked · It is an experience for my family to stay in a japanese style house. Owner was very patient and response to our query very fast. The instruction to checkin and the location of the free parking was provided with Google link. Thank you owner to provide us an enjoyable stay. All kitchen utensils and washing machine are all available.
Hotel Nord Otaru is classic business hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room seemed a little small at first, we have no problem staying a night without feeling uncomfortable. All necessities were provided in our room. Nonetheless, we love that bathroom and toilet were separated.
The staff was wonderful and they were nice enough to upgrade our room which was a pleasant surprise. Very walkable and near the canal, shops, restaurants. We wished we could’ve stayed longer in Otaru and will certainly be back to Oooooh Home.
The room is impeccably clean, the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the owner surprised us with a diverse breakfast selection. The location is excellent, within walking distance of Otaru Canal and the tourist area.
Room view - we got the Room with Canal View and the view definitely did not disappoint.
Room size - the rooms were quite spacious as compared to our other hotel bookings in Japan.
Location - located right next to the Otaru Canal
My 2nd stay here, the price is reasonable and the hotel is accessible and convenience. The only thing i like to add that one of the room lighting is a little dim compare to the other 3 rooms.
-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
