OtaruNostalgia
Step inside, and you'll find yourself in a strangely familiar foreign port town.
Within Hotel Sonia Otaru, the memory of Otaru, a city that once attracted people and goods from all over the world and was one of the first places to receive Western culture, quietly lives on.
A stately stone structure that preserves the memory of the port town.
Standing right in front of the Otaru Canal, this imposing stone building blends beautifully into the cityscape, once known as the "Wall Street of the North." Step outside and you'll find yourself on cobblestone streets illuminated by gas lamps, and return to the hotel to be enveloped in its history—a truly unique Otaru experience.
Otaru Warehouses

Vintage furnishings that evoke thoughts of past voyages.
Stepping inside, you enter a sepia-toned world. Classical ship models and antiques that have stood the test of time evoke memories of Otaru, a city of trade. The decor, which somehow retains the warmth of human touch, gently stirs the wanderlust of adults.

Vibrantly colored glass light that romantically illuminates the space.
The fantastical shimmer evokes Otaru's glass culture, which once developed from fishing floats. The soft light that changes with the time of day will color your travel moments. Stained glass is also displayed at Sonia Coffee on the first floor of the South Wing.
