A moment of travel spent at a marble Hotel blending seamlessly into the exotic streetscape of Otaru.

Hotel Nord Otaru—named after the Italian word for “north”—is a European-style Hotel standing by the Otaru Canal. Its marble exterior blends into the stone-built streetscape, giving the building a dignified, stately presence. Step inside and you’ll find warm, wood-toned interiors that soothe away travel fatigue in a gentle, welcoming atmosphere. The first-floor patio (courtyard) is a free space surrounded by marble, where a fountain and seasonal flowers create a romantic setting. Why not plan your trip while listening to birdsong? Rooms are located on floors 3 through 6. Many feature separate bath and toilet areas for a more relaxing soak, and offer views of the canal, historic warehouses, and Otaru Bay with its large ships coming and going—scenery that captures the nostalgic charm of northern Otaru.

  • Right in front of the canal cruise boarding point. Right in front of the LeTAO shop. Located in the very heart of Otaru sightseeing, we also enjoyed seeing the Asuka III docked at the port—an excellent stay.

  • I stayed in an Executive Twin River View room. I enjoyed the view of the canal, the port, and historic buildings from the Room. The Room was spacious and the bath was comfortable, but unfortunately I was a bit put off by the smell from the smoking area near the first-floor lobby. Both the exterior and interior suited Otaru’s historic character, and I would choose this Hotel again next time.
