Otaru Music Box Hall

About

The building, which holds within it the still air of an old railway's traces, was likely once a shop built for trade. The sound of music boxes slowly turning and chiming from the ceiling dulls the flow of time, drawing visitors into the atmosphere of the past. The sounds filling the empty space reach the ear like the whisper of a stranger holding a music box in one hand. The moment light settles through the ceiling windows, the quiet corridor becomes dyed with music. The sound of the music boxes becomes a wave carrying restrained emotion, stirring a gentle ripple in the heart of everyone who passes through.
