The Otaru Canal was a trading hub from the Meiji period to the early Showa period.

Stone warehouses built using the cutting-edge architectural techniques of the time line the canal, and at night, gas lamps illuminate the canal, creating a fantastical landscape.

In winter, snow candles and snow sculptures line the streets, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere.

There are warehouses that have been repurposed as restaurants, but personally, Bikkuri Donkey had the best atmosphere of any Bikkuri Donkey I've been to!

[Photogenic Spots📷]
1. Above Asakusabashi Bridge: You can take beautiful photos of the curves of the canal and the warehouses.
2. Along the Canal: You can capture gas lamps, the canal, and warehouses from the foreground.
