Yesterday I visited the character panels around town. Today I’m heading toward the sea.
First, Otaru Aquarium. Rikka welcomed us.
Karin explains the hokke
Karin was explaining the fish at the hokke tank. I let my Karin plush see it too.
The sturgeon was several times bigger than I’d imagined. Here it is beside Teto.
I could see Todo Rock across the water.
Another photo by the sea with Teto and Karin. Both sky and water were blue.
Kihinkan and Tanaka Sake Brewery
Next was Kihinkan, which is supposed to be Karin’s family home. What a huge house.
For lunch I had herring soba and pressed herring sushi.
In the afternoon I visited Tanaka Sake Brewery, Rikka’s supposed family home. The Otaru stamp rally I’ve been doing since yesterday takes me to places connected with the three of them.
Lake Shikotsu in the evening
I left Otaru and went to Lake Shikotsu. Teto joined me for dinner at the hotel.
I lined up all the plush toys for a photo. It looked like a school trip for obsessive fans.
