Unprecedented hot and humid summer in Otaru is gone, and the pleasant weather of autumn has come at last!

When Japanese pampas grass characterizing autumn of Japan can be seen here and there, and hearing beautiful sounds of insects, people feel the change of the seasons.

It was really a cool evening yesterday after a spell of hot weather.

There are many storehouses made of tuff that was abundantly obtainable as material for buildings in Otaru. They were built in the early 20th century when Otaru was most prosperous as a business center of Hokkaido.

Most buildings in those days were made of wood, and they were easily burnt down once they caught fire. Therefore, the merchants built fireproof storehouses to protect their valuables and commodities.

The images are some examples of those storehouses found in Wakamatsu and Nobuka areas near JR Minami Otaru Station.

キルトトップができて、しつけをかける作業。疲れます…。

昨日は定休日、真夏日の中主人と二人
暑さを乗り切るために、朝里にあるスープカレーのお店へ。

汗がじわっと出て、その後は気分爽快。
