Otaru Other Architecture

About 150 years has passed since Hokkaido was fully pioneered. Otaru, one of the leading port cities of Hokkaido, holds much of that history.

There are many historical buildings that still stand around the Otaru Canal from 100 years ago, which provide a nostalgic atmosphere that you can enjoy as you walk around. Here are some of the best places to check out during your visit.
