People in Otaru seem to like tulips very much.
You can see tulips everywhere in the city at this time of year.
Tulips' season is quite short, but when they bloom, the city looks vigorous with their vivid colors of red, white and yellow.
Colorful flowers always inspire us after the season of deep snow when everywhere is solid white.

Japanese food has gained popularity in the world, and Wagashi, the Japanese confection also seems to catch on among the people living in Japan.
Wagashi is always made featuring the nature of the season, so you can enjoy different beautiful Wagashi each season.
The Wagashi of the images are some examples from "Tsukushi Makita" one of the exquisite Wagashi shops in Otaru.
Each Wagashi depicts azalea, the emblem flower of Otaru, lily of the valley, and cherry blossoms from the top respectively.
