On the first day, we headed to Lake Shikotsu from New Chitose Airport in the morning. Unfortunately, it was snowing, so we couldn't see the lake very well.
I forgot to take pictures, but for lunch we had a set meal featuring kokanee salmon. |
|
In the afternoon, I headed from Lake Shikotsu to Otaru. Whenever I travel, the first thing I do is look for souvenirs for my family.
On a friend's recommendation, I bought LeTAO's Mandarin Double - Unshu Mandarin. It's a seasonal product. However, it seems it takes about five days for the store to ship it to my home.

completed in 1912. |
|
Otaru Music Box Museum Main Building,

, completed in 1912. |
|
Otaru Canal Terminal,
former Mitsubishi Bank Otaru Branch,
completed in 1922. |
|
Nitori Museum,
former Hokkaido Colonial Bank Otaru Branch,
completed in 1923. |

I ordered the chestnut and blackcurrant Mont Blanc cake set at LeTAO Canal Plaza store in
Otaru (formerly Canal Plaza) . It was delicious, of course.
