Built in 1934, the current JR Otaru Station is decorated with lamps, which are hung from pillars along the platform, casting a soft, brilliant light. Near the ticket gate, the lamps are hung like curtains in front of the windows.
"The lamps create a nostalgic atmosphere of the Taisho era (1912-1926)--but most of them were installed as recently as in the 1998 renovation," said Hirofumi Saito, the stationmaster at that time.
"Otaru is the city of glass art, and I reckoned the lamps should be the station's trademark," he continued. "So I asked Kitaichi Glass Co. to install their lanterns in the station." Kitaichi Glass, an Otaru-based glass firm, is nationally renowned for its glasswork. (Source: Daily Yomiuri Online by Kazuhiro Katayama).
