Sobre este lugar: Otaru
El canal de Otaru y sus almacenes de piedra encarnan el puerto nostálgico. Vistas nocturnas iluminadas por faroles de gas, almacenes nevados y calles de artesanía del vidrio componen marcos cinematográficos. A solo 40 minutos en tren desde Sapporo.
Aspectos destacados
- Otaru Canal — 1,140 m completed in 1923, with 63 gas lamps and stone warehouses, a sacred ground for blue-hour and nightscapes
- Marchen Crossing — the steam clock, Kitaichi Glass, and the Music Box Museum cluster at the tourism center; in winter snow, otherworldly
- Mt. Tengu Ropeway — 532 m elevation, with the night view of Otaru and Ishikari Bay rivaling Japan's New Three Great Night Views
- Sakaimachi Street — former banks of the «Wall Street of the North,» plus sushi, seafood, and glasswork; magical to walk in falling snow
- Shukutsu Peninsula — the Nishin Goten herring mansion, the Blue Cave tour, lighthouses, and dramatic coastlines
