Le Tao Pathos

The old times are always so warm, especially in the winter in Otaru 🏨The OMO5 Otaru where I stayed is based on the concept of "retro port city", promoting Otaru's little-known history, culture and creative specialties. The hotel is divided into two buildings, the South Building, which was rebuilt from the old Otaru Chamber of Commerce, a historical building built in 1933. The North Building is relatively modern, but it has both functional and beautiful design. The hotel displays a lot of nostalgic furniture and office supplies retained by the Chamber of Commerce, with a strong old-fashioned flavor. 🍴Be sure to reserve more than an hour to enjoy the buffet breakfast slowly. The northern Spanish style plus the Hokkaido flavor are very rich. I asked the hotel staff why they chose to make Spanish food. She said that it was because the climate in northern Spain and Hokkaido is similar, coastal and cold in winter. ☕️There is a special area for breakfast from the "Nantaru Market" frequented by local citizens. Pickled kelp and herring are both very representative local specialties. 🎿There are four ski resorts near Otaru. The hotel is equipped with a ski drying room. Ski equipment does not need to be brought back to the room. It can be stored here and maintained by yourself for free. 📷Follow OMO Rangerde to city walk, which is a free service of the hotel. The guide is an international student from Fangshan, Beijing. He is very friendly! He knows all the hidden wonders on this road. Which house has railroad tracks... Why are there clocks painted on some roofs but no hands... Which historical building has a celebrity... What time does the steam clock tell time... Whose kelp is the most authentic... 🍨He recommended us to LeTAO PATHOS to eat a special limited dessert, which can only be eaten by guests staying in OMO5 Otaru. In addition to fresh fruits and cereal crisps, it also uses freshly made whipped cream and mascarpone cheese from local ranches. Parfait and jam made with two very cold-resistant local niche berries, wild cherry aronia + blue indigo fruit Haskap, both of which are super antioxidant. After eating this cup, I feel full of energy! #Winter Hitchhiker's Guide
