Otaru Taisho Glass Palace

Information

Otaru Taisho Glass Palace is a hall where visitors can taste the atmosphere of the city in the good old days and enjoy the gentleness of glass. A provider of dreams encapsulated in glass. One characteristic of the Former Takasaburo Natori Store is its storehouse style of construction; wing-like structures adjoin the western and southern sides of the building, and the entrances face two different directions. It is an outstanding example of shop architecture from the latter half of the Meiji Period (1968 - 1912).
