Houses in Hokkaido have remarkably improved for the past 30-40 years. Owing to the progress of insulating materials, indoor heat is kept efficiently, and as a result, icicles hardly grow on the eaves. Long and thick icicles can be seen only on the eaves of old wooden houses like the one in the photograph of Otaru scenery.
If you would like to see real Otaru, a certified tour guide, Tomoko Wahei from Otaru will show you around according to your request.
