A Gentle Light Glowing in Winter Otaru— The Otaru Snow Light Path & Taisho Glass —

As winter settles in, the town of Otaru is wrapped in a quiet, crystal-clear atmosphere. Fresh white snow absorbs every sound, filling the streets with a soft and peaceful stillness that is unique to winter in Otaru.

During this season, one of the most beloved symbols of Otaru’s winter is the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival.

Countless candles are lit among the snow, their gently flickering lights blending into the silvery landscape to create a dreamlike scene. The warm glow not only illuminates the town, but also softly warms the hearts of those who see it.

At Taisho Glass, we offer a wide selection of glass works that harmonize beautifully with Otaru’s winter scenery—pieces designed to be enjoyed with candlelight, as well as glassware that shines vividly in the crisp winter air.

Glass that changes its expression in candlelight, and the subtle differences in its beauty between day and night, are experiences best appreciated in person at our store.

As you stroll along the Otaru Canal or Sakaimachi Street, take a moment to enjoy the winter scenery together with the timeless beauty of glass.
