I visited Otaru Romankan in late October and was stunned by the beautiful sight of red leaves covering its walls. The shop is located in the heart of Otaru and is easily accessible. It mainly sells glass accessories. You may also notice some western-style paintings on the wall.

Souvenir shop for glass made ornaments and gifts. There's a charm to the place that reminds me of a Christmas workshop. Quite a big warm place to get out of the cold for a while. Recommended to check it out.
