Hokkaido - Otaru



Otaru..., Otaru..., if I have to chose a fav. place in hokkaido, it would be otaru
A quaint little harbour town. Everything is quite simply charming!

One of the most famous thing there is musical box. This is the junction in front of the musical box museum. Every 15mins the chimes from the various clocks tower can be heard. One in particular runs on steam.

Inside the musical box museum. More mechandising then museum actually.

This fella actually moves quite naturally when it plays.

The live seafood are amazing. You pick, they BBQ immediately. Taste fantastic.
Also seen are these giant crab. Notice the size comparison with my daugther!


The famous Otaru Canal. This picture was taken at about 4am in the morning.
