    Otaru- Musical Box
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is one of the musical boxes which i find it very cute. It have a timer and when it is time, those teddy bears will start playing. Very cute but very expensive. Take a look at the price tag 21 000 yen, it is about S$380.

    Otaru - Musical Box
  • Tip Rating:
  • Otaru is famous for its handmade musical box. The box or casing may not be Japan made, but the mechanism is 100% Japan made. The music is crystal clear and fine compared to musical box made from other country.
    The price for these musical box can be very very expensive. But it is worth to walk around the store as the store itself is converted from warehouse. The place is very enchanting to shop around.

    Otaru
  • Tip Rating:
  • Otaru is a romantic town. Stroll along the Otaru canal and discovered the old warehouse along the side of the canal. Previously, this canal is an very important river for Otaru, this river is used to transport goods to Otaru, therefore you can found alot of warehouse along the canal. But now, this canal is a tourist attraction.

    Asahi Beer Factory - sapporo
  • Tip Rating:
  • We went to tour around Japan best brew beer Asahi Beer factory, you cant take picture inside the factory but it is worth to tour around. Japanese's technology is really very advance. While we were touring the factory, the large production line, we only saw 2 workers maintaining that large line. The whole production line is totally automated, from producing the beer till the packaging all automated.

    I got to know that the whole factory only consist of slightly over 100 workers, wow that is impressive.

    Tatami Dining
  • Tip Rating:
  • Dining inTatami can be a very advanturous task. Well why i said that, it is because, you will be wearing your Yukata while dining, the sleeves of your Yukata is very long, so you have to make sure those sleeves of yours dont get to drink the soup on the table.

    Another thing is that you will be kneeing while eating, this will killed your legs as it will get cramp in no time. You can sit cross legged if you want but it is also very uncomfortable. And also ladies, pls to extra careful if you are sitting cross legged make sure nothing is expose below..................................
