Otaru Canal
Completed in 1923 (Taisho 12), the Otaru Canal is an important waterway for maritime transport in Otaru, a harbor city that supported the history of Hokkaido's development, with old warehouses preserved along its banks.
Temiya Line Railroad
Temiya Line Railway: Built to transport coal produced in Hokkaido from Otaru Port by ship, connecting Temiya to Sapporo and Sapporo to Horonai (present-day Mikasa).
Otaru Music Box Museum
Otaru Music Box Museum: A fantastical world housed in a red-brick building designated as a historical building of Otaru City, and the world's largest music box specialty store. The store boasts a selection of over 25,000 music boxes.
Steam Clock
There is also a steam clock at the entrance of the Otaru Music Box Museum.
Otaru Candle Workshop
Otaru Candle Studio: A specialty candle shop housed in a stone warehouse near the Otaru Canal. It features a diverse collection of candles and candle holders from both domestic and international sources. Candle making workshops are available.
Sakaimachi Street
Sakaimachi Street: A 900-meter street extending from the Fairy Tale Crossroads, which supported Otaru's prosperity from the Meiji to Showa periods, lined with retro buildings such as old shops and Western-style architecture.
Funami Hill
Funami-zaka Slope is known for its steep incline and has been used as a filming location for movies and TV dramas. As its name suggests, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ships docked at Otaru Port from this elevated vantage point.
San Jiao Market
The Triangle Market gets its name from the triangular shape of its land and roof.
Mount Tengu
The night view from Mt. Tengu is known as one of the "Three Major Night Views of Hokkaido." A ropeway that accommodates 30 people runs from the foot of the mountain to the summit in approximately 4 minutes. It is an excellent observation point.
Tanaka Sake Brewery
Established in 1899, Tanaka Shuzo is a representative sake brewery of Hokkaido. They carefully select high-quality sake rice produced in Hokkaido, and their sake is difficult to purchase outside of Otaru.
Tanaka Sake Brewery
Tanaka Sake Brewery's "Kikkogura" is a rare brewery nationwide that can brew sake all year round.

Reviews

Review for: Otaru Customizable Day Tour

This tour is a scam. Do NOT Join!!! You spent $300 USD for a tour guide who would WALK with you for 7 hours. That's not what we ordered. We paid for a tour which would drive us around instead of "walking around". We sent the tour guide home as soon we found out this is a scam. In addition, there is no contact at all before the tour. We tried to contact with the company beforehand, but no response. Terrible experience.
