[Hokkaido] 🇯🇵🏯Romantic Otaru Canal, a must-visit attraction in winter! ❄️☃️

Hokkaido's winter is really beautiful in a different way🥹🥹💖
The most famous tourist attraction is the Otaru Canal! You can create blockbusters just by walking around! 🥳✨💯

1️⃣Construction history: Construction of the Otaru Canal began in 1923 and was completed and opened in September 1923. The purpose of its construction was to connect the canal and the seaport in Otaru City to facilitate the transportation of goods.

2️⃣Canal features: The canal is 1,140 meters long, 3-4.5 meters deep, and about 20-30 meters wide. The towering stone warehouses on both sides of the canal form a typical Nordic architectural style, highlighting Otaru's prosperous port city scene at that time.

3️⃣ Tourist attractions: Otaru Canal is one of the most representative tourist attractions in Hokkaido. Visitors can take a cruise to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canal, or take a walk along the canal to admire the stone warehouses. There are also many shops and restaurants near the canal, making it a popular tourist area. But the weather was too cold, so I didn't take a boat ride. I just walked along the river.

4️⃣Historical and cultural value: As a witness to the historical development of Hokkaido, the Otaru Canal has retained its unique port culture and architectural features and is one of Japan's important national cultural heritages.

Walking like this in winter is really romantic 🌹 Would you like to come and see the charming Otaru?
