Things To Do in Otaru, Hokkaido
Statue of Goddess of Mercy
Our final two destinations in Hokkaido were cities. After leaving peaceful Furano, we went to happening Otaru.
On our way to Otaru, we passed by a giant Statue of Goddess of Mercy and we stopped for a picture. It was absolutely gorgeous.
Otaru is also famous for its seafood, Otaru Canal and of course a whole bunch of touristy things. Cities are a little expensive, so we stayed at Otaru Guesthouse Harvest. It's actually a hostel style accommodation. It's also very affordable. Parking is free while they offer fantastic 400 yen breakfast. It's totally worth it.

Otaru Canal
Due to it's winter, we can find many activities and many attraction related to snow sculptures and lights everywhere we walk in Otaru. There are many things to do such as sledding and they also give out free hot sake if you like their activity Facebook page or maybe for a small fee in some stores.

Otaru Music Box Museum
We also manage to visit the Otaru Music Box Museum right before it closes. Most shops, restaurants and attraction closes at 6.30pm. So please be early if you are planning to visit places.

Of course, being in Otaru, we had our fair share of Sushi and Sashimi. Anyway, it's still a lot cheaper in Hakodate.
