very easy to claim ticket and a very beautiful small museum. just show your voucher to the staff by the counter. Photos are allowed but videos are not. it depends on one's interests but as someone who has rarely seen stained glasses before we had a great time enjoying the small museum

You can see the hotel just after exiting JR Otaru Station. It is easy to carry luggage. There are Triangle Market and Burger King next to it, and there is also a shopping mall with restaurants. The hotel also has a large bathhouse, and popsicles, lactobacilli drinks, and ramen are available at different times, which is overall good. I would like to purchase breakfast next time I check in.

It is much more convenient to be able to buy online at any time and use it at any time. But it would be cheaper if people who know the prices buy tickets on the spot. Of course it depends on personal time and convenience. I just suddenly went down the mountain and wanted to make a trip, but when I got to the mountain, there was no one in line🤪🤪🤪

The Japanese tatami room is very comfortable. The location is 3 minutes from the canal and close to Sakai-machi Street. You will be there if you keep walking. It is very convenient for shopping.
