Just 25 minutes from Saporro, there’s a little city called Otaru that feels like stepping back in time. [Music] It used to be the main port of Ishikari Bay and played a big role in Japan’s trade with the US and the UK. In fact, the first railway in Hokkaido started here in 1880, linking Otaru to Saporro. Many of the old stone buildings are still standing, now turned into cute cafes and shops with lots of character. [Music] There’s also a beautiful old canal lined with historic warehouses that gives the whole town a calm and nostalgic feeling.
Step back in time in Otaru, Hokkaido’s charming port city. Explore historic canals, old stone buildings, and rich maritime history.
