Why Otaru Should Be on Your Hokkaido Bucket List

Just 30 minutes from Sapuro, Otaru is the perfect day trip. Known for its picture perfect canal and preserved port town charm, this place is a step back in time. Start with Hokkaido’s first railway. Once the lifeline of the town, now a peaceful walking path lined with history. Wander Ortaru’s back streets up to Single Shrine. From the top, you’ll catch sweeping views of the harbor. With its mix of history, views, and easy strolls, Otaru is small town Japan at its most photogenic. All just a short ride from Sakuro. Check out my other videos from my Japan adventures.
