What to eat in Otaru


Otaru is a small port city located about half an hour from Sapporo by train. The city is known for dairy produce, music boxes and sake distilleries. Its beautifully preserved canal area make Otaru a pleasant day trip from Sapporo.

I didn't take any picture on the day. Instead, have a look at my short video on the day to give you an idea of what Otaru looks like.
