"Otaru Art Village"

Hokkaido Minority Treasure Art Exhibition Hall, perhaps countless visitors have passed from these strong retro style buildings.
There are four major exhibition halls: Western Art Museum, Bird-like Art Museum, Old Mitsui Bank Otaru Branch, and Flowered Glass Art Museum.

The Museum of Window Glass

Across the centuries, the glass window is like being in an unpredictable dream. The floral Windows that once actually adorned the church are now magnificent and stately exhibits. Time seems to stand still here, and the beautiful craft of the last century unfolds like a scroll in front of my eyes.

Otaru Western Art Museum

The Western Art Museum in Otaru Art Village is located in the old Nanhua warehouse by the Otaru Canal, where you can enjoy Western art objects such as stained glass Windows, Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass crafts and furniture made in Europe and the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Emile Galais, the Daum Brothers, and Rene Lerick were all very active artists at the time. On display here are beautiful lamps, charming colored Windows, artistic sculptures and vases, and other works, whose rich color collocation and artistic design all give people a strong visual impact and ideological shock. Friends who come to Otaru for travel, this is one of the places worth punching in!

AOAO Aquarium in Sapporo City

Floors 4-6 of AOAO SAPPORO's new モユクサッポロ shopping mall in Fu Lu. The aquarium, which opened in July 2023, was not interested in going, feeling that the theme of combining the aquarium and the city was too contrary, and there were no large Marine animals in it. I borrowed a new dress and went there, and it was very different from what I expected. There are very beautiful and large water grass scenery, feel the small fish in it to swim at will.

Recommended by local friends to go to the end of the exhibition is really great, really good like ~ the opening people are definitely using the art museum thinking to design the layout of the aquarium, in addition to the research and popularization of aquarium culture, natural water feature display. Each layer has a different rhythm of background music comfort is great ~ the guide system is not a conventional road guide, just like fishing forks or diving tubes interspersed in the middle of the aisle, clear and beautiful!

There's a beautiful forest landscape, lots of mosses, ferns creating nutrients. There's a beautiful jellyfish stadium with big, new tanks. I call this pink house co-branded dress the Jellyfish dress, which really fits the aquarium theme.

The treasure of the town hall is the North Crested yellow-brow penguin. Walk over and find no ice and feel very wrong. But watch them swim freely in the water and occasionally interact with the nearby tourists who stare at them. Visitors are very close to the booth, there is no glass barrier. I think only this country trusts tourists like this, and the penguins trust us. They're at home. Relax.

Next to each aquarium or mother and baby room are placed books or deep shallow, extended and excessive are very clever, admire the beauty of Marine life, but also can see the human themselves. This is insane! For the first time! Watch the penguins swim in the aquarium, watch the jellyfish float, and drink beer. Be forthcoming ！！！！ 4 natural water features and swamp landscape, natural and realistic, excellent condition! It's worth a look and a look and a daze!

Quality and interaction, full of innovation and breakthrough great recommendation! Super suitable for a person to daze healing, but also suitable for two people to fall in love!

Important point: It doesn't close until 10am - 10pm
In Japan, where shops are generally closed very early and there is nothing to go around, it is really good to avoid the buying of duty-free shops and come here to empty! After all! Their little perimeter is also very good to buy, ha ha ha!
