[Hokkaido] Otaru Canal Sightseeing

This time I will introduce the Otaru Canal in Otaru City, Hokkaido. It is about a 10-minute walk from JR Otaru Station on the Otaru Canal Ring Road. It is easy to get there, but a little difficult to get back, as you have to go down a gentle slope. Electric-assisted bicycles are available for rental around the station, so it might be a good idea to use them to go sightseeing. You can also take a cruise ship at the Otaru Canal. It seems that the night cruise is particularly popular, as it allows you to tour the illuminated canal, so it's a good idea to make a reservation. We walked around the canal. The canal itself was lovely, with a different atmosphere during the day and at night. The shops around the canal also had a nice, calm atmosphere. Otaru can be reached from Sapporo without changing trains on the JR line, so it might be a good idea to go a little further when sightseeing in Hokkaido. We also went sightseeing in Sapporo and Otaru as a set. #HokkaidoTourism #HokkaidoTrip #OtaruTourism #OtaruCanal #OtaruTrip
