Kitaichi Venice Museum
Travel to Venice while staying in Otaru
This museum recreates a medieval palace in Venice, the water city of Italy. The gorgeous life of the four seasons of the aristocracy is introduced along with 3,000 pieces of precious Venetian glass with a history of 1,000 years. The works are truly "hidden treasures," concentrating the advanced techniques and beauty of Venetian glass.
Don't miss the gondola for state guests that Princess Diana actually rode in Venice. The café is also popular, as well as a corner where visitors can enjoy taking commemorative photos in Italian dress, feeling like an aristocrat with the gorgeous palace rooms in the background.
