Hanazono area （Retro drinking district）
Otaru Travel Guide 2023
The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
Hanazono District, located in the middle of JR Otaru Station and Minami Otaru Station, has long flourished as the center of Otaru City along with the neighboring Inaho District and other areas.
National Route 5 crosses the center of Hanazono District, and the mountain side across the national highway is the area where the city hall, fire department, and other public offices are located. On the ocean side is the Hanazono Ginza shopping district, lined with old-fashioned coffee shops, sushi restaurants, and Chinese restaurants, and turning down an alleyway, you will find a tight line of small snack bars and drinking establishments. The maze of streets is a deep entertainment district with the flavor of a movie set in the Showa period.
Each street and alley has its own name, such as "Yoi-machi-dori," "Hashigo-dori," and "Spal-dori." When the sun begins to set, the lights of the "Yoi-machi-dori" signs light up, inviting you to a deeply enchanting time.
