[Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley]
It is a volcanic crater remnant located in Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido, Japan, near Lake Tōya. Formed approximately 10,000 years ago, it features an area about 450 meters in diameter that still emits white smoke, remains completely barren, and has a strong sulfur odor. The Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley earned its name because its appearance resembles being in the depths of hell.

[Showa Shinzan and Bear Ranch]
Located near the entrance of the Showa Shinzan cable car, this bear ranch houses over 100 purebred Hokkaido brown bears. As the largest wild mammals in Hokkaido, these bears often stand up and wave playfully to visitors when offered food, displaying their adorable and endearing nature. It's said that the horse oil products here are highly effective.

[Kitaichi Glass Workshop]
This glass shop is located not far from the south side of the Otaru Canal. In addition to original glass products, it also sells oil lamps and alcoholic beverages, making it one of the popular tourist attractions in Otaru.
This sturdy stone warehouse boasts a long history, originally built in 1891 (Meiji 24) as a fishery storage facility. The shop now displays a vibrant collection of glassware that's exciting to browse even just for viewing. Divided thematically into three floors - "Japanese Style Floor," "Western Style Floor," and "Country Style Floor" - it showcases diverse products ranging from tableware, glassware, lighting fixtures to accessories. You're sure to find something that catches your eye.

[Music Box Hall]
The Otaru Music Box Museum is located in Sumiyoshi-cho, Otaru City, and is a specialty shop for music boxes that utilizes a historic Meiji-era building. Inside the store, which exudes a retro atmosphere, approximately 80,000 music boxes collected from around the world are densely displayed, featuring diverse designs and materials such as jewelry box styles, doll types, wall-mounted varieties, and ceramic pieces. Among them, the dome-shaped music box that changes between three colors of light is particularly popular, creating a dreamlike space where light and melodies intertwine. As you stroll through the store, the overlapping melodies of various music boxes gently reach your ears.
