A day in Otaru before the marathon
The day before the Sapporo Marathon, I bought whisky in Yoichi, had lunch at Ishi to Tetsu, and wandered through Otaru, including the aquarium.
A day in Kasukabe
After completing the Otaru stamp rally, I collected the Kasukabe stamps too, then flew home to Takamatsu.
One more walk around Otaru
With my 80-liter pack, I climbed Otaru's hills again, ate a sea urchin bowl, shopped at Tsukushi Makita, visited Ryugu Shrine, and finally headed to Chitose.
Perfect weather for the stamp rally
I completed the Otaru stamp rally, went to Yoichi for pizza and whisky, revisited the aquarium, and spent my last night looking over Otaru from Mount Tengu.
A rainy Otaru stamp-rally day
I continued the Otaru stamp rally in the rain, visiting shops, Otaru University of Commerce, Ishi to Tetsu, and Koueido before an evening walk by the former Temiya Line.
Halfway through my Otaru stay
On my fourth day in Otaru I took a boat to Todo Rock, continued the town stamp rally, and had Karin and Chifuyu cocktails at HALF TONE.
Race day in Otaru
I ran the 10 km Otaru Canal Road Race in my Karin T-shirt, then rested at Ishi to Tetsu and had cake at LeTAO.
Walking across Otaru from the sea
I walked from the sea up Mount Tengu, had lunch at Kihinkan, visited Otaru Aquarium, and returned to Mount Tengu for sunset.
Back to Otaru
I returned to Otaru with an 80-liter backpack and Teto, collected a stamp booklet, climbed Jigokuzaka, and visited HALF TONE.
