🚉Asari Station🌟🌟🌟🌟
Don't leave the station‼️You can take pictures of the sea and the station sign, walk across the overpass to the opposite station sign, the background is the sea🌊, I personally think it's very photogenic, after taking pictures, you can continue to Otaru by car
About 15 minutes a car, don't worry, you can take your time to take pictures, when the car comes, just get on, no need to swipe your card again
🚉Otaru Station
It's about a 10-minute walk from the station to Funamizaka
💙Funamizaka
The filming location of 'Love Letter', a street leading straight to the sea, it will look very good when the weather is good
💙Triangle Market
💙Otaru Canal
A very boring place, with some sense of age
💙Otaru Canal Cafeteria
It's a converted warehouse, there's a lot of food inside
💙Commercial Street
About 1 kilometer long, not very interested
The melon ice cream is delicious😋
Avoid eating at Zeqi Aquatic Products❌❌
They treat Chinese people differently, the boss lady has a very stinky face, but if you can speak Japanese, she is very flattering, a bowl of seafood rice bowl 250+ still have to look at her stinky face, can't share! Suddenly feel like a fool, who is pushing this shop?!

🚠Tengu Mountain🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🎫Cable car round trip ticket: 1600 yen 💴
The filming location of 'Love Letter' and 'First Love', very photogenic! Especially like it here, you can overlook the whole city🌆, known as one of the three best night views in Hokkaido
Go up around 3 pm, you can take a lot of pictures, there is a lot of snow, you can also watch the sunset! Play until the lights are on, took a night view and left, around six o'clock, don't dare to stay too long, afraid to wait for the cable car for a long time, because there are only two cable cars😂
-
⚠️The bus has operating hours, the interval is long, it's cold at night in winter, it's recommended to take a taxi after the cable car comes down, we two people found two people to share a car down the mountain, the cost is cheaper than taking a bus, the key is that you can leave immediately! Take a 🚕 taxi directly to Otaru Station and return to Sapporo
⚠️The Tengu Mountain cable car will be suspended in bad weather, so it is recommended to check the weather before you go
This route is very leisurely, because we both like to take pictures, spend more time taking pictures, but not in a hurry at all, and very photogenic
The red brick warehouses on both sides of the Otaru Canal have been converted into glass craft shops, restaurants, cultural and creative shops and fine cake shops. It takes about 50 minutes (680 yen) to get by tram from JR Otaru Station, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the canal. Before going to the Internet to pay attention to whether the Otaru Canal has a holiday light, take pictures of the beautiful!
The Otaru Snow Light Path Festival is a winter festival that held every February in Otaru , we came here by taxi from Nesiko, it cost us around USD 150-200 round trip. Luckily, during this time the city decorated in lights and small snow statues for only ten days. Although we did not see The Sapporo Snow Festival this time we as other did. But we enjoyed the romantic night very much.
i immediately fell in love with this city. i really love the vibes here. i will visiting again on another season.
The climate is pleasant and the environment is beautiful. It is suitable for a family to come and rest. The traffic is good. The store is very enthusiastic. I will come back next time. If I have time, I can come and watch a movie.
A quiet and peaceful town in Hokkaido. The people here are more welcoming than in the city.
There are shops and places to eat by the river. There are lights at night and the atmosphere is good. When it snows in winter. More beautiful. There are many similar places in China, and there are fewer people in Xiaoyan.
It's a very nice place to walk and take photo during winter. Unforgettable moment !
Because of the famous Iwai Juner's "Love Letter", it was first-hand to have a certain understanding of Xiaoyan. Although the movie is winter, Xiaoyu is the location, but the canal is almost invisible inside, but Wenqing love brain supplement, Hokkaido is vast enough, winter is vast enough, that sound "how are you? I am very good" is to let countless people move~ so what happened here in Xiaoyu, Pure love story, must be like the canal, light, leisurely. In fact, the Otaru Canal was opened in 1923, and the canal is surrounded by red brick warehouses, bustling markets, and countless goods shipped in and out. It was the symbol of the North Japan, Hokkaido economy and financial center, and even called the "Northern Wall Street." Later, due to the retreat of the war industry, the small dragonfly lost the role of the canal. Therefore, half the length of the canal was filled up for road use, and the warehouse buildings were changed to restaurants, bars, shops, tea houses, and gradually, the Otaru Canal has become a popular tourist attraction. Especially the stage of "Love Letter" has become a punching point for many petty bourgeoisie.
