Kitaichi Glass Sangokan (No. 3 Village)
Step into a historic Otaru warehouse aglow with 167 flickering oil lamps
Experience an enchanting atmosphere where 167 oil lamps and vibrant glassware illuminate a historic stone warehouse built in 1891.
As you step inside the massive stone walls, you are immediately greeted by the soft, warm glow unique to oil lamps. In the "Kitaichi Hall," 167 lamps—each hand-lit one by one every morning—serve as the sole source of light, creating a space filled with a nostalgic aroma and a soothing silence. During live piano performances, the gentle melodies harmonize with the flickering shadows on the walls, offering a quintessentially Otaru moment of serene elegance.
Across three floors, you will discover a diverse array of glassware, including intricately cut "Otaru Kiriko," smooth-textured glasses that feel perfect in your hand, and jewelry with brilliant transparency. Exploring the themed sections—Japanese, Western, and Country—feels like a treasure hunt for that one special piece. After browsing, enjoy a cool, refreshing soft drink or ice cream on the terrace, where you can feel the weathered texture of a building that has stood through Otaru’s long history.
