Fairy Tale Crossing is a five-way intersection at the southern end of Sakaimachi Street. It takes its name from the fairy-tale atmosphere created by the surrounding Western-style buildings and a steam clock. The LeTAO flagship store next to the crossing is famous across Japan for its double-layer cheesecake. The first floor sells desserts, the second floor has a café serving cake sets, and the third floor tower has a free observation deck overlooking the crossing and the harbor. Nearby are other famous Hokkaido sweets shops such as Rokkatei and Hokkaido Kakurō, so you can sample treats along the way. LeTAO’s flagship store is open about 09:00 to 18:00. It is a 7-minute walk from JR Minami-Otaru Station.
