Introducing Otaru

Escape from Sapporo to Otaru for a weekend, a day or even an afternoon. Famous now as a tourist spot and for its music boxes, it has a rich, interesting history. Building buffs will love the old warehouses and the beautiful canal district. It played an important part in the herring industry, was a terminal station for Hokkaidō‘s first railroad and was also a literary hotspot.
