Does this city have the best desserts in Japan? 🍦🍰

In Otaru, Hokkaido you’ll find a dessert paradise. Indulge in Hokkaido milk ice cream @letao_official cheesecake and so much more. This is the perfect day trip from Sapporo and you’ll get there in about 40 minutes by train from Sapporo station. 🚉

Featured spots:
@popurafarm yubari melon ice cream. This gets 3,5/5 mostly due to the ice cream being better elsewhere and the high price in relation to what you got. The melon itself was quite delicious though and it’s also very famous in Hokkaido so it is worth trying!

Naruto Chicken – their fried chicken sets are a local favorite and your money goes a lot further here too. Try out their famous signature sets. I’ll give it 5/5. Come early as there’s usually a line during lunch hour.

@kitaichiglass_otaru_official here you’ll not only find one but two famous dessert spots. First, their traditional cafè which is known for its unique and charming ambiance. Sit down and enjoy a treat or two! In the back you’ll find the viral eight level Hokkaido milk soft serve with flavors like melon, strawberry milk, chocolate and more. It’s not overrated, try it! 🍦

For classic Hokkaido milk ice cream, head to the traditional shop Shofukuya. It feels like you’re stepping back in time, and the owner is very sweet too. It’s a 5/5!

If you’re still not tired of dessert, grab one of the legendary @letao_official cheesecakes to take home. They offer delicious samples in the store, so beware, you might fall in love. I went for the strawberry cheesecake version and highly recommend it!🍓

Between eating you’ll find plenty of scenic places, sightseeing and fun souvenir spots, so make sure to add this to your Japan bucket list! 🍦

Save this for your next food adventure in Japan! 🇯🇵
