Nemuro Hanamaru JR Tower Stellar Place | Review by Linda Liao

When you step into the music box workshop, you're greeted by a dazzling array of cute little glass ornaments, each one delicate and so tempting to take home. First, choose the music you like, then create the look you want from the wide variety of decorations. Next, glue the little ornaments on one by one, and you're done! While waiting for the glue to dry, I already couldn't wait to see the finished product〜 Anyone who enjoys crafts can give it a try.

Stepping into the Otaru Music Box Museum Main Building is like entering a giant, magical jewelry box. The museum is filled with all kinds of delicate and adorable music boxes, from cute, rounded egg-shaped designs and romantic, dreamy carousels to sparkling crystal music boxes. Each one makes you want to stop and admire it closely. With their intricate craftsmanship, different shapes, and melodies, they feel like fairy tales held in the palm of your hand.

The most special part is that you can also experience making a music box yourself. Choose your favorite melody from a dazzling selection of music, then pair it with decorations and a design you like to create your very own “portable treasure box.” When the melody begins to play, your wonderful travel memories gently flow out with the notes.

I really like its chewy, bouncy texture. Every flavor is delicious, but grape is my favorite. The sweet and tart taste is just right, and the more you chew, the more addictive it gets! I usually carry a pack with me when I go out, so when I'm shopping or craving a snack, I can easily pop one in for a little sugar boost and that small sense of happiness from satisfying my sweet tooth〜
