Otaru (小樽市, Otaru-shi) is a city and port in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan, northwest of Sapporo. The city faces Ishikari Bay and the Sea of Japan, and has long served as the main port of the bay. With its many historical buildings, Otaru is a popular tourist destination. Because it is a 25-minute drive from Sapporo, it has recently grown as a bedroom community (Wikipedia).
This is January winter in Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan. However during this winter, global warming has impacted a lot. Less snow this winter and minimum temperature experienced is -7 °C.
If anyone wants to visit, during this time make sure you have comfortable cloths and snow shoes.
