Otaru, Japan recognised for its stunning snowscapes in Asia are ready for your next winter holiday

Have a white holiday

Japan is not only well-known for its breath-taking spring, in fact, Japan also has some of the most beautiful winters to witness in the world. The island of Hokkaido is the coldest island in Japan, thus the winters here are certainly exquisite. The delicate snow here covers the landscape in a blanket of white that looks magical at this time of year. The cities most loved by visitors for its great winters would be Niseko and Sapporo. There is so much activity that goes on in these two islands during winter.

Otaru, on the other hand, is an upcoming tourist destination. It is fairly quiet here with less hustle and bustle. But that’s what makes the destination all the better for a holiday. Many an Otaru hotel have come up, close to the older harbour offering wonderful views. A property belonging to Park Hotel Group is one of them. This small harbour town has a lovely charm to it with age-old herring mansions that go back to the 19th century and delicious ice creams to try out.
