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).
Great value and a great place to stay. Check in was a little tricky from bookings as there was no receptionist but once you contact the hotline, the literally come running drom the office (next door) and checked us in. For the price, people should not expect much like a 4 star hotel but it is truly a great place, clean, quiet, convenient facilities nearby for $100++ a night. I would recommend it to people who drive or groups of friends. We even had a mini BBQ and grill sessions.
Very friendly staff. It is best if you can speak Japanese. Staff can communicate in basic English and they really try their best! Clean and well-maintained. Pleasantly quiet for a hostel. Location is in a residential area, you definitely get to see a different side of Otaru. Free parking approximately 5 min walk from the hostel. Fantastic value for money.
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.
Outstanding service; classic hotel with lovely lobby and large rooms (ours had lovely view of ocean and Otaru canal area). Great location with parking next door and step out of lobby into walking mall, yet only a few blocks to 'sushi street' and Otaru canal area. Breakfast was expensive, but very good with a vast selection. Highly recommended.
Dormy Inn Premium in Otaru offers a fantastic onsen experience, a standout feature in a city not typically known for hot springs. The added perk of complimentary snacks and late-night ramen significantly enhances its value, making it a top-choice accommodation for my 15-day trip, providing an exceptional balance of comfort and affordability.
The best part of the hotel is the view of the canal. If looking for a hotel in Otaru, you should definitely check out Hotel Sonia. Good access to the shopping street and lots of good restaurants close by. The hotel was a little rustic in parts but it added to the charm.
Both of the host were very accommodating and helpful in getting many tips about Otaru and the location is close by all of the main streets attractions.
Definitely have the home cook breakfast from Mayomi ! It was an absolute delight ❤️
Interesting link to Otaru's history being the original hotel during the commercial peak of the town. Very sophisticated ambiance, and lots of great perks like the free Hokkaido wine each day. Good central location near the canal
I enjoyed staying here and using it as a base to sightsee in Otaru. Clean comfortable rooms and good value for money. The staff were really kind and friendly.
Older hotel but well maintained located at the end of a shopping arcade. Numerous dining options nearby. Arcade is located just below the train station.
Very close to Otaru station which makes it convenient. Numerous eating places, within walking distance, around the hotel. The hot bath is a must to try.
