Otaru Shussemae Square
Sakaimachi Street, a plaza reborn from the approximately 120-year-old Dairy Association Building
Otaru Shussemae Square on Otaru Sakaimachi Street is a complex facility with a retro townscape, utilizing the Dairy Association Building built about 120 years ago.
Stepping into the solid stone building, the sound of creaking wooden floors echoes, and the scent of old timber tickles your nose. Inside, restaurants, sweet shops, and stores handling seafood and agricultural products line up, with food aromas from each shop whetting your appetite. Soft light streaming through windows further enhances the old-fashioned atmosphere. At the history museum, you can learn about Otaru's development history, with photographs and materials from that era on display.
The surrounding area continues with nostalgic townscapes, and walking along cobblestone streets feels like time-slipping to the Taisho era. Brick buildings and signs evoking history line up, perfect for photography. While tasting Otaru seafood, you can spend leisurely time in this historic building.
