Otaru is one of Japan’s most iconic port towns.
Most known for the scenic picture of the Otaru canal found in many guidebooks. Don’t judge this town’s book by it’s cover. As you explore, you will find that many of the old abandoned looking buildings have a refurbished hip interior that you can relax it for an afternoon snack and coffee as you enjoy the historic atmosphere and view of the canal. There is also local fish markets that locals will go to find fresh catches of the most delicious seafood in Japan.
