OTARU on the Internet

If you like soul music, "Thirsty Soul" is the right place to visit. You can enjoy soul music and drinks in a cozy atmosphere created by the old-established building built in Taisho Period (1912-1926) and modern interior design.

The building was originally built as Kimono shop, and it used to be three-story. The second and third floor is now put together, and used as Thirsty Soul. The third floor was the proprietor’s private room made in response to his taste for western architecture. The ceiling and the mirror on the wall kept in the state of those days are really a must-see. You can see the exquisite work near at hand from balcony seats.
