Otaru Canal: Nostalgic Ambiance

The Otaru Canal is an iconic landmark in Otaru City, Hokkaido. Completed in 1923, it once served as a vital artery for cargo transport. Today, the stone warehouses along the canal have been converted into cafes, restaurants, and shops, exuding a nostalgic charm. A scenic walkway runs alongside the waterway, allowing visitors to admire the historic architecture and serene views by day. As night falls, 63 gas lamps illuminate the area, creating a dreamily romantic atmosphere. For a different perspective, you can also take a sightseeing boat tour to experience the unique charm of this port city from the water.
