Guesthouse Otaru Wanokaze

Otaru is a city and port in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan, northwest of Sapporo. The city faces Ishikari Bay and the Sea of Japan, and has long served as the main port of the bay. With its many historical buildings, Otaru is a popular tourist destination. Because it is a 25-minute drive from Sapporo, it has grown as a commuter town. As of July 31, 2023, the city had an estimated population of 107,432 and a population density of 441 persons per km2. The total area is 243.83 km2 (94.14 sq mi). Although it is the largest city in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, the subprefecture's capital is the more centrally located Kutchan.

If you're looking for a charming and picturesque destination in Japan, WE highly recommend a visit to Otaru. This small town is located in the northern part of the country, just a short train ride away from Sapporo.

As soon as YOU arrive in Otaru, YOU'll be greeted by its quaint and nostalgic atmosphere. The town is known for its beautifully preserved buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which give it a distinct European feel. One of the most iconic landmarks in Otaru is the Otaru Canal, which was built in the early 20th century and is now a popular spot for strolling and taking in the views.
