Otaru Diaries: Otaru Pride 2023!
June 25th was Pride in Otaru! Sapporo has a pride parade later in the year, and I thought that would be the closest pride event to me, but a bit ago my friend actually mentioned that Otaru has one in June. I looked it up, and sure enough, there was one scheduled for Sunday, the…
