Otaru Glassworks

The glass crafting of Otaru is famous throughout the nation for its quality and beauty. In fact, many of the stores in the centre of the city are glass shops. There are also artisan glass blowers, which are wide open allowing shoppers on the street to see the process of making the glass. In some of these workshops, you can pay a small fee to participate in the process. Along with a professional, you can shape and create your own piece (included in price) that later you'll get as a souvenir.
