Lighting Up Winter in Otaru with Glass

Otaru Snow Light Path and the Efforts of Taisho Glass Stores

The gentle glow of winter has returned to Otaru with the start of the Otaru Snow Light Path.To mark this special season, Taisho Glass is lighting handmade candles and snow candles in front of each of its stores throughout the event period.

Soft candlelight flickering against the snow-covered streets, seen through glass—each small light carries a heartfelt wish: that visitors will take a moment to slow down and enjoy this place, this winter, and this very moment.

Each Store’s Unique Snow Light

For this year’s Snow Light Path, every store carefully prepared its own lighting display, considering placement, balance, and how the light blends with the surrounding scenery.

• 本店

• とんぼ玉館

• びーどろ館

• 月下美人 前

• うつわ屋

• 宇宙（SORA）

• 奥野商店

• 酒器蔵

Though all are illuminated by candlelight, each location has its own atmosphere—

much like glass itself, every space expresses a different character.
