Otaru One-Day Tour (2) ๐
โ๏ธ Arriving at the Otaru Aquarium Station ๐จ๏ธ ๐ธ๐บ Get off at the final stop, Otaru Aquarium Station, and as soon as you step off, you'll feel like you've entered a very eerie place. ๐ฟ๐ There's nothing around, no people in sight, just strong winds and heavy snow, ๐ธ๐บ freezing cold, and a non-functioning Ferris wheel. Don't doubt yourself, just head up the mountain. ๐๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ ๐ฟ๐ The mountain road is so windy that the snow being blown around looks like smoke, ๐ธ๐บ and there's no one else on the path, not a single car in sight, ๐ฟ๐ making you feel like monsters could appear at any moment. ๐น๐ซ๏ธ ๐ธ๐บ Halfway up, you'll come across a strange building , ๐ฟ๐ which turns out to be an old hot spring hotel called Otaru Castle Hotel. ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐บ The walls and exterior look very aged, and there's no chimney in sight, ๐ฟ๐ leading us to think it was an abandoned building until we saw a car leaving from the entrance... ๐๐จ ๐ธ๐บ Enjoy the mysterious and quiet journey up to the Shukutsu Observatory! ๐งค๐งฃ #Japan #Travel ๐๐ฟ
