Where to Stay in Otaru: OMO5 Hotel Tour & Winter Travel Guide

Thinking of visiting Hokkaido for the Snow Festival? In today’s video, I’m taking you from Sapporo to the beautiful port city of Otaru to tour the OMO5 Otaru by Hoshino Resorts. 🚶🚶‍♀️ • The Walk: A simple 10-minute downhill stroll from the station to the hotel. • Location Perks: Why OMO5 is perfectly sandwiched between the Old Japanese Railway and the Otaru Canal. • Room Tour: A look inside the Twin Room ($125/night during peak festival season). • Food & Amenities: Where to find the best local ramen (Mahoro!) and how to use the hotel’s historic cafe and lounge. 🏨 Hotel Highlights: • Two Buildings: A modern main wing for rooms and a stunning historical building for breakfast and afternoon tea. • Amenities: Free water refills and toiletries in the lobby, plus on-site laundry, ice machines, and microwaves. • Pro Tip: Book early! February is incredibly busy. If you visit during the off-season, you can save up to 40% on room rates. 🍜 Local Recommendations: • Ramen Mahoro: Located right behind the hotel. Authentic, delicious, and easy to order via machine. • Otaru Art Base: Just across the street—perfect for families with snow tubing and light displays during winter.
