It’s around 13 minutes walk from JR Otaru Station, if you have luggage, just get a taxi to go there, only take around 5 minutes. This hotel is just too cute, a vintage vibe, lovely welcome drinks in classical lobby. My room is for single person, small but it’s fine. Japanese breakfast is amazing. You can have a canal view while you’re having breakfast. They provide free onsen or paid private onsen (2500 yen for 50 minutes). It’s a good stay.

The last stop of the journey was very comfortable. The taxi started at Otaru Station. The room was directly facing the canal. There were many small restaurants opposite. Next door was the Western Art Museum. The hot spring was so comfortable. The private bath on the 8th floor was 2500 yen for 50 minutes, but the public bath was actually more comfortable. There were very few people, both indoors and outdoors. There was also a sauna room, but a hot spring tax of 150 yen per person per day was charged. After taking a bath in the evening, I went down to the first floor to drink some wine and it was very quiet.

The hotel is very conveniently located, just across the canal, just a short walk across the street, and close to Otaru Pedestrian Street. There are private hot springs that can be rented for 2,500 yen each time, and reservations must be made in advance with the hotel. The private hot spring is indoors and fully equipped. This time I booked a Japanese-style room with a private bathtub. It is worth mentioning that the water in the bathtub is all hot spring water, so you can soak in the hot spring in the room. The hotel staff provided very good service, and also helped with luggage and taxis, etc. The service was very good. Next time I come, I will choose this hotel to stay.

The hotel is right next to the canal. The canal is visible from the window of the room, which is very convenient. The hotel is a very old hotel, but everything is very clean. There is no bathroom in our room, although the hotel's large bath is also good. Friends who are not used to taking a bath in public places must pay attention when booking a room. The dinner is good, and the breakfast is a buffet, which is also good.

This hotel is located next to the Otaru Canal. It is very historical. In addition, the interior decoration is also very artistic. The hot spring is also very clean. There is a dog in the lobby named Canal, who is the treasured dog manager of the hotel😍. It is very cute!

It was really... really the best. It was nice to take a walk right in front of the Otaru Canal, and the staff were all kind and nice! When communication wasn't good, the staff used a translator to explain everything to me one by one, so I was able to enjoy my stay without any difficulties. I also liked the large public bath! The baths change every hour, so I could use both at night and in the morning! And the outdoor bath was really the best. It was really charming and nice when it snowed!!! And.. I left my wallet in a taxi on the way to Otaru Station after checking out, and I really, really want to thank the staff who came to find it for me as if it was their own business!! Thanks to them, I had good memories until the last day of my trip. 😍😍

The staff's attitude towards service was very good, and I had a comfortable stay. I was made to feel kind, and the food, bath, and above all the bedding were comfortable. I intended to enjoy the room, but perhaps because of the fatigue from traveling, I ended up sleeping most of the time. I felt like I was wasting my time, and I would like to use it again. If you're staying in Otaru, Furukawa is the place to go.

It's full of antique style. You can even have a private bath in the tatami room. The service is excellent. In the morning, you can see the Otaru Canal directly from the window.

Across the canal is the view printed on the new 10,000 yen. It is recommended to stay in a room with a balcony. You can go out to the balcony to play in the snow. There is a free food area on the first floor, as well as a massage chair reading area, which is very neat.

If I get a chance, I would like to visit this place again in the winter.
It is a good distance to walk from Otaru Station with a carrier.
When I arrived at the hotel, the staff welcomed me from the entrance and helped me carry my luggage while I checked in.
I didn't request dinner so I couldn't eat it, but breakfast didn't have many options, but it had all the necessary menus, and it was set up neatly, which was impressive. And the milk was especially delicious.
The day we went was the last day of the Otaru Ushio Matsuri, so there were fireworks.
I couldn't see it from outside, so I asked if I could see the fireworks well from my room, and they told me that the hotel rooftop was open from 8 o'clock, so I was able to see the beautiful fireworks there.
Also, the facilities were old, but they felt well-maintained, and the bedding was very soft and nice in the tatami room. And most of all, I liked that the check-out time was 12 o'clock. I was able to enjoy the hot spring leisurely in the morning.
The lounge had a nice retro atmosphere, but it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't enjoy it. You can see the Otaru Canal right in front of you. This is the accommodation that allowed me to make good memories in Otaru.

I checked in on July 27th. I was very satisfied with the hotel facilities and breakfast. And above all, the hotel staff were very kind. I would especially like to praise the staff member whose name has the character "田" in it. Thanks to him, I plan to stay at this hotel again.
