    Hokkaido Otaru-shi Hanazono 1-6-10
    A satellite shop of Otaru glassware company Kitaichi Glass. Operating out of an old-fashioned building facing National Route 5, here you can try glass engraving. The shop's sandblasting class involves blasting sand onto the surface of glass to etch out your very own original design and is easy even for elementary school-aged children to do. You can get your creation that very day, perfect for making a memory with family or a friend. The shop also offers a glass bead arranging class in which you combine your favorite glass beads along with other parts to create a necklace or bracelet. The shop is also located a little away from the popular Otaru Canal, ensuring you can enjoy a quieter, more relaxing experience here.

    We enjoyed this workshop very much. You apply stencil stickers on the glass of your choice (you pay separate fee for the glass) and eventually use a sand blaster to etch the glass. The final result...

    Hokkaido Otarushi Sakaimachi 1-27
    The Otaru Candle Workshop with ivy climbing up its walls is located just a one-minute walk away from Otaru Canal and handles originally-made candles at the workshop, handcrafted candles from Japan and abroad, and candle holders. You can have a go at making things yourself including the popular scented pillar candles, fragranced wax bars, and snow globes. There is a cafe surrounded by candles on the second floor and a shop selling Christmas items.

    小樽運河の近くを散策していたらこちらのお店がありました。 石造りの外壁に蔦が絡まった建物は明治44年(1911年)に建てられた倉庫を改装したものだそうです。 店内にはたくさんのキャンドルが飾られていました。キャンドル造りの体験もできます。 2階は喫茶店なので利用価値は高いです。

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.
