Warehouse District

Otaru Top 7 in Can't Miss Attractions

To be honest, I'm here for Takara Kashiwabara. As a 19-year-old fan of Kassy, I always have to come to the pilgrimage filming location of "Love Letter"! My husband accompanies me to Funamizaka to take a photo. After leaving Otaru Station, just follow the main force! Turning straight ahead, you will reach the Otaru Canal~ Walking along the river all the way, all kinds of must-see attractions, food, and shopping shops are all together. There are so many people on the Otaru Canal! There are also many tour groups. You must choose an angle to take pictures, otherwise everyone... I saw so many cute snowmen along the way and couldn't help but take a group photo~ After lunch, go to Funaban! It’s not far from Otaru Station, so we will return to Sapporo after checking in. What is Rokkatei? I don’t like to eat it. When I go to the store, I don’t even have the desire to buy it. Japanese desserts really vary from person to person. I like letao! There are leTAO shops everywhere, just enter one of them. You can only eat strawberry rolls, so delicious! There is also delicious ice cream~ so satisfying! The seafood dong is so fresh. But the day I went there, I had a bad appetite. I could only watch my husband eat it... Otaru was colder than Sapporo, and the snow was thicker. Remember to wear snow claws, otherwise you will fall, especially near the Otaru Canal. Funamizaka has a lot of people taking pictures, most of them are Chinese and Korean. I also encountered low-quality, four girls holding hands in the middle of the road to take pictures, regardless of the local car driving, but also drunk... Otaru is a tourist city, souvenirs are not recommended, but music boxes are acceptable.

When you come to Otaru, you must go to the Otaru Canal. It is very close to Otaru Station. After leaving Otaru Station, follow the flow of people. ❄️I went there at the end of January and there was no snow that day, but the snow was very thick, obviously much thicker than Sapporo. The weather is a bit gloomy and I feel much colder than Sapporo. The Otaru Canal that I arrived at about noon was crowded with people, and I also encountered tourist groups. It was really not easy to punch a card. Looking at the eaves of the warehouse group from the canal is full of icicles to taste, it is still very spectacular. The people of Magic City said that they have never seen such a wonder haha! ⚠️Remember to wear crampons and walk near the canal, otherwise it will be too hard to move! The crampons that Noboribetsu Hell Valley passed through finally came in handy!

Walking along the Otaru Canal is the most romantic and relaxing thing to come to Otaru. There are a little more than 1 km of walking trails along the river, opposite to the nostalgic warehouses. After coal was discovered in Sapporo in 1873, Otaru had become an important export port for coal. Therefore, warehouses were built next to the canal. However, the storage function of these warehouses has disappeared, and some have been converted into riverside restaurants and small The most beautiful scenery along the town canal.

Otaru should be considered a very popular city. In order to go to Otaru, I read the love letter specially. Otaru in the movie is really beautiful. But if there is no snow, Otaru is really ordinary, and winter is really beautiful.

Hokkaido is notoriously not like demolition of old buildings. It is estimated that it is related to the cold environment, complex terrain, and small population. After all, big cities will only sell every inch of land and historical sites will be demolished when they are useless. The Otaru Canal is a well-known landscape. The main reason is that it is really good-looking, and the second is the bonus of film and television dramas. It is normal to change the abandoned warehouse to the scenic spot. It is not surprising that there is Hakodate Kanemori warehouse in front of it, and Otaru also changed to a canal warehouse.
