The facility is very obvious to spot especially at night when we arrived in Otaru. The room is also great and the breakfast buffet is excellent. The staff also allowed us to leave our luggages at the reception while we tour around the town. We were not able to try the onsen at the top floor.

We went to Cape Kamui and Otaru on the 24th. The weather was very good and the scenery was beautiful. The car was spacious and comfortable. We passed Cape Golden Cape on the way. The Chinese tour guide Zhou Zheng and the Japanese driver Yoyu were not only handsome, but also very considerate in service. The introduction of Hokkaido was also very comprehensive. This one-day tour was worth it!

The tour guide, Mr. Zhou Zheng, introduced the history of Hokkaido and the attractions of today's trip very carefully. He controlled the time very well and was very concerned about the situation of each passenger. The whole trip was great! Although the weather was not good, we did not see the legendary Shakotan Blue. But because I met a great tour guide, I still learned a lot about Hokkaido. I will consider participating next time.

The room is simple and clean, and the location is convenient (outside Otaru JR Station). There is free and delicious coffee in the lobby. You can take a bath on the 2nd floor. There is also a lounge that provides comics and free popsicles or lactic acid drinks. There are free and delicious late-night snacks after 9:30 pm. Ramen, the CP value is very high.

Redemption is easy, just show the QR code and you can get a set of tickets for four art museums. Each one is exquisite and worth visiting. It will take about two to three hours to visit them all.

Summary: If you come to Otaru, you must come to Tengu Mountain to enjoy the night view. It is very convenient to book cable car tickets in advance on klook. 1. We visited on 8/7 (Wednesday). We took a bus from Otaru Station to Tenguyama Cable Car Station, which took about 15 minutes. 2. Because it rained at Otaru Station, it was foggy when we got to Mount Tengu, so we couldn’t see the night view. 3. After ordering ramen and curry rice at the cafe above Mount Tengu, the fog had not yet receded. I was about to leave, but I went up to the viewing platform to watch, only to find that the fog slowly receded, and I could see the entire night view of Mount Tengu in Otaru. Nothing left. 4. After buying the ticket in advance at klook, go to the entrance to change the ticket, and you will receive a 10% discount coupon for cable car tickets, coffee and gifts, and a Tengu Mountain postcard.

This cable car experience was very satisfactory. I was able to go to Mount Tengu to watch the night view of Otaru, and the restaurant on the mountain could also see the entire scenery!

This trip was led by Zhou Dao, and I was very satisfied. Zhou Dao thoughtfully gave us extra time in Cape Kamui and Otaru, and explained the history of Hokkaido, its special food, special fruits, etc. on the bus. He also enthusiastically recommended local restaurants to us. It was a great trip. Recommend this tour to travelers coming to Hokkaido
