We liked the quiet location and the free shuttle bus that is provided in the morning and afternoon. This allows a nice peaceful environment to relax as well as convenience of having transport to JR Otaru station, from where we could easily travel to the places we needed or wanted to go.

It was a really comfortable and cosy stay with my family of 6. The bedrooms were spacious with the 3 queen beds, and the futon beds were also very cosy to sleep with. Heating worked very well too. The space was really clean, like the toilets and the kitchen utensils.

The overall hotel type is more business-type or short-term rental hotels like Toyoko Inn, but the design and overall atmosphere are more fashionable and comfortable. The parking fee is 1,500 yen per night, and you can enter and exit it unlimited times before check-out. It was ok for a short stay, and the location was great.

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).
My friend and I booked a room each for 4 nights at this establishment.
We had no real expectations, we just knew it was on the beach North of Oturo Hokkaido 45 minutes from Sapporo.
The staff were incredibly accommodating, the rooms were immaculate and well appointed.
We ate breakfast, had an Hokkaido barbecue, and a Michelin standard dinner.
I could not recommend this hotel highly enough.
Extremely good value for the level of service and cuisine, absolutely fabulous!
The rooms are spacious, equipped with jaccuzis and every single item one needs for a comfortable stay is there. The hotel has great ocean views from the rooms and beautiful mountain views from the corridor hall. Every staff I encountered were very polite and professions (thank you to all of them). Everything was clean and the breakfast was very delicious & served directly to your room. I hope to stay here again sometime.

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.
- Spacious Room (Grande4)
- Placement of furnitures make sense
- Alot of cabinet/hangers for family with kids
- 2 toilets
- Luxurious bathing area with dry and wet zone
- Nice amenities
- Room is v clean
- Good location
- Parking may be more expensive than public carpark, but it offers us more sense of security as it is under the care of the hotel.
- Front desk v eager to help guest which i greatly appreciate
Fantastic location, Short walk to Otaru Sakaimachi-dori for sightseeing, shopping and food. Situated above the hill and tucked away in a quiet locale, the residence is surrounded by ample natural greenery, fresh air and tranquility. Ample Free parking onsite. Apartment was also well equipped, rooms were sufficiently sized and clean.
Great location within walking distance to Otaru Canal. Very helpful staff, impressed with their willingness to go beyond their duty. They were polite and sincere. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel which really exceeded our expectations. Meals were superb and you can really see the effort they put to serve a good meal.
Wow, beautiful room. Very spacious. Our private onsen room is incredible! Great shuttle service to train station and town shops. We love everything about this property. My wife booked a massage in the hotel and said it was very good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very professional.
The location of the hotel was really good and very convenient to walk around. The Ski resort is also just few km away. I love the fact that it's only infront of the Otaru Canal. I love the bar in the rooftop area as even at night, it's so easy to have a drink or two.
It's proximity to the canal and shopping streets/restaurants was excellent. They have limited parking (1500 yen/night) so get there by 2 to claim a spot. It's a typical Japanese hotel layout with small room and full Japanese soaking tub.
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...
Great location, close to Otaru canal, lawson and restaurants nearby, cozy hostel, comfy bed, cut cat and dog in the house, owner is nice and allow me to store luggage after check out
Very near Otaru train station, just take 5mins walk. Room is clean and not too small. Staff are nice and helpful. Breakfast is awesome. Overall it’s worth the price.
