Ishikura renovation! "Kitakaro Otaru Main Building"

Kitakaro is a classic Hokkaido sweets shop that was built in a renovated stone storehouse. In 2003, it won the Otaru Cityscape Award, and the building alone is worth a visit. The signature dish is the simplest and best baumkuchen. It's called "Baumkuchen Fairy Forest." It was created as a commemorative item for the opening of the Otaru main building. (Of course, it's also sold in the store.) They are also famous for their Japanese sweets, such as rice crackers. They have a wide selection of souvenirs that are perfect for those who don't like sweet things. #OtaruTourism #RetroStreetScenery #Souvenirs#GourmetTrip
