小樽：札幌からの日帰り旅行に最適？ 最高のグルメとスイーツ
Today, I’m taking you on a wild ride through one of Hokkaido’s most charming coastal towns: Otaru. Just a quick 25-minute train from Sapporo, this town has history, scenery, and some of the best food I’ve had in all of Japan—and that’s saying something.
In this Japan Travel Guide we’re diving into fresh seafood straight from the ocean, mind-blowing local sweets, vibrant alleyways, canal rides, ocean tours, legendary cheesecake, handmade glass, and enough food make you hungry while you watch. Oh, and we even meet a bush disguised as a man—or maybe it was the other way around. If you are wondering where to go in japan for your next adventure then you are in the right place.
📍 In This Video and Otaru Travel Vlog We:
• Explore Otaru’s famous seafood markets and taste fresh uni, crab, and salmon roe
• Try Hokkaido’s iconic melon cheesecake and soft serve ice cream at the famous LeTAO
• Ride the Otaru canal boat & hop aboard an ocean cruise with unreal views
• Wander through umbrella alleys and the glass-blowing districts
• Visit the magical Music Box Museum (I even sit inside one!)
• Snack your way through wagyu skewers, strawberry tarts, crab bao, sake tastings, and so much more
• Discover one of Japan’s best value day trips—food, culture, scenery, and heart
💡 Whether you’re planning your trip to Hokkaido, love Japanese food, or just want to explore Japan’s hidden gems with me, this japan travel itinerary has everything you need to experience Otaru like a local because its one of the best places in japan for tourists. This is a different type of Japan Vlog and you don’t want to miss it.
👇 Watch until the end for the colorful umbrella alley and my final thoughts on whether Otaru is really worth your time in Japan.

🦪 Otaru totally stole my heart (and my stomach 🤤) — those oysters were insane, the seafood bowls were overflowing with freshness, and the canal felt like another world.
👉 If you were here in Otaru with me, what’s the FIRST thing you’d dive into — oysters, a seafood bowl, or something sweet? Drop it below, I’m curious!
PS: Who’s brave enough to join me for round 2 of those monster oysters? 😂

nice work!!
I totally forgot that Otaru is famous for music boxes😂😂 So romantic😌✨
Cheesecakes!!!
私は札幌に住んでいるので、小樽には何度も行ったことがありますが
とても楽しい動画でした！ありがとうございます☺💕
Whoooo, those cheese cake desserts look gooooddd. Sorry, but, I can't watch anyone eat raw fish/seafood…yuck! Hahaha!
It looks like a beautiful place…definitely one that I'd be interested in visiting. Too bad Japan gets winter, it cuts the tourist season short.
Thanks for showing us that Japan is WAY more than "just" Tokyo.
Tokyo kinda spooked me when I was there. 38 m people and you could hear a pin drop there in the mornings. How is that even possible!?!?! Yowsers!
Weird…
Great video! I love how much you enjoy different varieties of food.😁

Great video
I will visit Sapporo soon cant wait
Great Video my friend..Omg I love Manapua/Bao…but never had a Crab one.. -Fred
いい時期に小樽に行きましたね。
小樽のウニは５月から８月までしか食べられないんですよ。
時期を外すと別の産地のウニになるんです。
メロンも一番美味しい時期だし、本当にいいタイミングでした。
もし小樽が気に入ったら、また遊びに来てください！
The seafood dietician ..
See food? > eat it
Savoury after sweet too..

🤣
Hello again, I love wasabi with my sushi or sashimi. Everything you ate looks so good. Is a very picturesque place to visit away from the big city. That water fountain is a great idea, Japanese think of everything. Thank you for sharing.
Adam, why is your arm wrapped? What happened to you?
こんにちは！
この動画観てまた小樽に行きたくなりました😊
素敵な街ですよね❤
私たちが行った政寿司というお店がよかったです🍣
The food all looks so good!! Amazed how many cheesecake options there are there haha. What a cool town and cool experience, thanks for sharing
Yeww!!
The seafood looks amazing!! Love king crab legs!! But look at that cantaloupe with the ice cream!! Now I know how to break apart chop sticks 🤣🤣 sea urchin… no thank you…
It amazes me how much you know about the history wherever you visit!! Love the dessert capital of anywhere… yummy cheesecakes… the canal tour was ok… the 2nd boat was much better… beautiful music boxes …. Omg those oysters are huge!!! Love oysters… 🦪 pretty paper lanterns… what a nice day!!! ❤
Love this series!
I think I put on 5lbs just watching. OMG, You always show some amazing food in your videos, but this one takes the cake ( or Mellon cheesecake in this case ). Deciding which food , ( Thai or Japanese ) is better is a culinary Sophie's choice for sure, after this video I have to give the edge to Japan. Besides, I don't recall you crossing paths with any talking bushes in Thailand. As always, another amazing video…. Was that one crab really $500?.
Thank you for introducing Otaru. A bit outside the city, but I recommend the Otaru Aquarium and Tenguyama Observatory as well.
Adam is soo polite, fun and so engaging .. his trips are so educative and he appreciates every city he visits. Lovely blog🎉
Beautiful food. Looks so delicious!
Lovely trip that makes me feel hungry for it 😍🥰 Otaru is a beautiful town also! I want to visit someday, too!
1:41 It's like the Kuromon Fish Market in Osaka. I'll have to find a week to visit Japan. Will you come back to Thailand again?
I loved your another traveling, day trip, in saporro. I really like this,
THE food, the seafood looks amazing, I know how much you enjoy, a different varieties of food, I like your travel series, in saporro, 🇯🇵👍. And good morning, to you. 👍
OMG, that bowl of seafood looks… mouthwatering. You are living the life, Adam & I am shamelessly living mine through yours. 😉 Thank you. 🤍🙏
