SPOT

 

Otaru Canal

小樽運河

 

 

Reflections of the warehouses and the light from the gas lamps on the surface of the water take visitors back in time.

Built in 1923, this canal tells a story of Otaru's history. Stone warehouses line the canal. With gas lamps and a walkway running alongside the canal, this is one of Hokkaido's top tourist spots.
