Japan Vlog | A Day in Otaru, Hokkaido ❄️ | Snowfall, Otaru Canal, & Local Encounters

This video was recorded on January 13, 2025.

Join us on an unforgettable one-day trip to Otaru, Hokkaido, where we experienced the magic of snowfall for the very first time! From the romantic vibes of the iconic Otaru Canal to heartwarming encounters with locals, this day was nothing short of magical. Watch as we explore the charming streets, play in the snow with a friendly Japanese family, and visit a cozy local clothing shop run by the sweetest elderly couple. Although we missed Sakaimachi Street due to the cold and lack of car rental, the day was still filled with unforgettable memories. If you love Japan, winter trips, or are planning a visit to Hokkaido, this video is for you!
