    Hokkaido Otaru-shi Sakaimachi 4-11
    This is a store directly managed by the long-established Hokkaido Sweets Snow Brand Parlor. The store, which faces Otaru's classic walking course, Sakaimachi Street, sells ice cream, soft cream and other sweets. The store's popular soft cream features a smooth texture and rich milky flavor. It is the perfect place to rest your feet while walking around Otaru. There is a cafe area in the store where families can comfortably relax with small children, and customers can sit and chat. Many people stop by the store to buy souvenirs, since the store also sells cheesecake made with plenty of Camembert cheese, fragrant vanilla Baumkuchen and other sweets.

    We bought a lot of things to bring home here. They offer Royce chocolate, calbee chips and many other local snacks. They also have different hand made locally souvenirs.

    Hokkaido Otarushi Ironai 3-3-21 Former Shibusawa warehouse
    PRESS CAFE in Otaru City, Hokkaido lies in the corner of the former Shibusawa warehouse which was built in 1895. It’s an unusual cafe in that it also handles small cars, mainly English cars built in the 1960’s. It also houses a display of historic cars. In addition to dishes such as their original Indian style curry and various kinds of spaghetti, you can enjoy paper drip coffee and homemade cake.

    店内にクラシック・カーが展示されている、という一風変わったカフェです。 店の東側の窓の席に座ると、目の前に小樽運河の風景が広がり、晴れた日にはクルーザー等が運航されるなど、景色も素晴らしいです。小樽市の中心街からやや離れていることもあり、カフェの周囲は終日静かで、休日ですら観光客の往来はまばらです。一方で、それを知ってか静かな環境でひと時を過ごそうと思う人は多く、昼食時間帯は満席になることもしばし...

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
