Otaru is known for its beautiful glass products. So today we decided to make one ourselves. The activity takes about 10-15 mins to complete. There are multiple designs & colors you can choose to make your glass bead. The staff was very helpful and patient. We walk-in in the morning and didn't have to wait. Glassbead was too easy so its time to challenge ourselves haha to make a drinking glass. Confidence is the key to success. Turns out my mom is the MVP here.
