[Event] Language Exchange Party in Otaru! Connect with Locals through Art & Sweets

Looking to meet locals, practice Japanese, and enjoy great food while exploring Otaru? Join our casual “Language Exchange Party” on the 2nd-floor art cafe space at How Art You Otaru!

Why Join Us in Otaru? Otaru’s Sakaimachi Street is always filled with travelers and locals, yet there aren’t many opportunities to actually stop and chat. We created this friendly space so everyone can enjoy talking and practicing both English and Japanese in a fun, relaxed environment!

Beginner-Friendly Interactive Games No worries if you are a beginner or can’t speak much Japanese yet! We have fun activities prepared to break the ice:

  • Kanji Guessing Game: Guess character meanings intuitively from visual shapes!
  • Onomatopoeia Game: Experience unique Japanese sound words like “doki-doki” or “kira-kira.”
  • Essential Phrases: Practice real-world travel expressions like “Kore wa nandesuka?” (What is this?).

Artistic Atmosphere & Signature Sweets The 2nd floor features two vibrant art spaces: Romero Britto and Takumichi. Our party takes place on the cafe side, surrounded by warm Takumichi artwork.

Your ticket includes a 700 yen menu order, so you can enjoy:

  • Churros Walker: Hot, crispy churros paired with cold, refreshing gelato!
  • Frappeller: Our signature iced shake with rich flavors.
  • Drinks: Specialty coffee, latte, cold beer.

Create unforgettable memories of your trip to Hokkaido. Years from now, we hope you’ll look back at your time in Otaru with a warm smile.
