Otaru is an old noltalgic city in Hokkaido with a lot of attractions and it's really worth visiting for the nice scenery and good food.

This canal will look very beautiful during winter when it's covered with the snow and candles are lit up to decorate this touristy place.

The shops behind are coffee houses that sell Hello Kitty mug with the purchase of the coffee! I didn't find it special although many tourists are crazy to get the mug.



Glass-ware is another trademark of Otaru. Many glassware workshops are located in this beautiful city.

Merry-go-round music box. It costs more than RM250 for one!


Went to KL Pavilion and saw the Merry-go-round, which reminded me of different types of music boxes that I saw in Otaru and thus, inspired me to come out with this post. Haha.......


Going to have "Bak Kut Teh" as my dinner now! BYE!!
