#Emotional Cafe Otaru is the home of LeTAO, a confectionery that you can see in the duty-free corner when traveling abroad in Japan. In particular, Hokkaido is the origin of many agricultural, marine, and dairy products, so it is the origin of dessert-type confectionery because of its cheese flavor. The cafe has a lot of old-fashioned antique feel, and the desserts are also delicious. Location: Search for Otaru LeTAO on Google Maps If you go up to the rooftop, there is an observation deck where you can see the entire view of Otaru, so go up there if you have time. ::)
