It was a really comfortable and cosy stay with my family of 6. The bedrooms were spacious with the 3 queen beds, and the futon beds were also very cosy to sleep with. Heating worked very well too. The space was really clean, like the toilets and the kitchen utensils.

Everything was perfect.
The staff were amazing! Welcoming and kind and helped me with everything I needed.
Even more than that, the guesthouse owner suggested to take me to a place I wanted to go in their car without asking for anything in return. They showed me the beautiful places of Otaru and because of them I had an amazing experience! :D
I definitely recommend Wa No Kaze for everyone who comes to Otaru and Hokkaido!
Bonus: the main tourist attractions are 15 minutes walk from the guesthouse!

This was a lovely town to visit! It's closer to Sapporo than I realized, so the train ride from there was very quick. We went to a few historical sites, the aquarium, shrines, and shopping. There was a lot of great food around the shopping and we picked up things as we went. Our best meal was the ramen and gyoza at Ramen Tokaiya! A small ramen shop with one guy manning the whole place. We made sure to go a little early so there was very little wait.

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).
Everything was perfect.
The staff were amazing! Welcoming and kind and helped me with everything I needed.
Even more than that, the guesthouse owner suggested to take me to a place I wanted to go in their car without asking for anything in return. They showed me the beautiful places of Otaru and because of them I had an amazing experience! :D
I definitely recommend Wa No Kaze for everyone who comes to Otaru and Hokkaido!
Bonus: the main tourist attractions are 15 minutes walk from the guesthouse!
The location was excellent! Walking distance to train station and direct connection to two shopping areas. The hotel is not in the middle of Otaru town so don’t expect to walk out the door and have access to the attractions. Nevertheless, it was not an issue to take a short train ride to Otaru station.
Hotel is on a grand scale with large rooms and a huge dining area. The staff was very helpful with a few English speakers.
This is a very relaxing natural Onsen hotel.
It is a place where you can leave your worries behind and enjoy the quietness and relaxing atmosphere with everything catered for.
Room was large, dinner sumptuous, good selection of buffet spread for breakfast, daily piano recitals in the lobby in the evenings and most of all the relaxing outdoor Onsen.
The hotel’s European historical-style furnishing integrates it well into Otaru’s canals and historical trading facilities.
Central location. Directly beside the canal and within walking distance to most museums, galleries and handicraft shops.
I highly encourage all visitors to have at least one breakfast at the hotel. Good ambiance and good food.
Our host was quite welcoming and friendly. He even picked us up at the train station in Otaru when we arrived. Breakfast was fantastic. There were two radiators in our room to ensure that the room was warm. The beds were comfortable and the scenery beautiful. You can reach Otaru by bus. there is a stop nearby. We can recommend this place.
We stayed here for 2 nights in November 2023. Well located hotel and walking distances to Otaru restaurants, just opposite the convenient stores Lawson, walk about 10 mins to attraction points Otaru Canal and shopping street.. Rooms are clean and big enought. Staffs are very polite and professional, onsite parking is convenient.
We loved our stay, the owner is amazing and caring. Everything was clean, comfortable and friendly. The location is right in Otaru town, easy to walk anywhere and a couple steps from a train. The breakfast and coffee is excellent, a perfect way to start your day. Plum House has a 'home' vibe in it's charming Japanese style.
Breakfast buffet had a good mix of Japanese and Western choices. The room was very clean and warm, with an ensuite bathroom (Note that while we booked Garden House, we actually got a room in Plum House, the newer building). There's also public onsens for hotel guests, though we didn't use them.
Usually I dont do a review but was touched that the hotel refund me for my first night since we missed out the flight. We are glad with the arrangement. We love the stay here, everything is self service and auto check in and the place is clean, near to the city but quiet and new. thank you
Location we are fine. Walking distance from Otaru Chikko Station. Walk through the mall to reach hotel.
Visited the nearby places like music box museum, otaru canal and shopping street. We are fine as we are walker and furthermore the weather is cold so nice to walk around….
The breakfast was excellent. A good variety of food selections. The room was clean and comfortable with an ocean view. The public bath was a great feature. The hotel is close to the canal and Sakaimachi Hondori Street. It's a 10-minute walk from the train station.
Good location, located near Otaru canal. Twin bed room is spacious. Nice breakfast, not many choices but good. Must schedule for breakfast as the hotel restaurant can accommodate limited number of people
The place was super spacious - we were a party of 3 but could have easily fit 6+. Everything in the place seemed very new and clean! Check-in was super easy and it was very close to Otaru Station.
1. Staff is perfect. Always smiling and happy to help.
2. Also the location is perfect. Nearby Otaru canal, easy to reach the Otaru JR station.
3. Free coffee machine with aromatic coffee
Hotel is just outside Otaru train station. Easy to drop your bag and continue your tour without waiting for check in. Onsen and free food at the hotel is great!
Overall very clean and comfortable hotel! Large rooms especially for Japanese standards. Bathroom was large and clean as well. Great property right downtown.
