Although it was Christmas, it was not yet the peak tourist season for the Otaru Snow Light Path<\/a> festival in February, so hotels in Otaru<\/a> were relatively easy to book. This time in Otaru, I stayed at the hot spring ryokan “\u904b\u6cb3\u306e\u5bbf \u5c0f\u6a3d \u3075\u308b\u5ddd<\/strong><\/a>” (Otaru Furukawa Hotel<\/strong><\/a>), which is situated directly opposite the Otaru Canal. I had wanted to stay at this ryokan since I saw it a few years ago on a previous visit to Otaru, and this time my wish came true. It felt even more atmospheric in winter, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful view of the Otaru Canal blanketed in snow and relax in the warm hot springs during the cold winter\u2014truly one of life’s pleasures.<\/p>\n

1. Location and Transportation of Canal Side Inn Otaru Furukawa Hotel<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Canal Side Inn Otaru Furukawa Hotel<\/a> is the only hot spring ryokan located in the city center of Otaru. Its position is directly opposite the Otaru Canal and very close to Sakaimachi Street, Otaru’s most important tourist shopping street, giving it an extremely superior geographical location. Just based on its location, it is an excellent Otaru accommodation recommendation. Additionally, the ryokan is not far from Otaru Train Station, about a 15-minute walk in weather without snow. Of course, walking in snowy winter weather is more challenging, so we took a taxi from Otaru Station. Since the distance is short, taking a taxi from the station to Otaru Furukawa Hotel is not expensive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The road in front of Unga no Yado Otaru Furukawa was already covered with thick snow by late December.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Canal<\/picture> \"Canal<\/picture> \"Canal<\/picture> \"Canal<\/picture>\n

Although the snow was heavy, the temperature that day was only -0.9\u00b0C, not very cold.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Canal<\/picture>\n
