- You can find the ticket center and dock at the Otaru Canal Chuobashi Bridge located about a 10-minute walk from JR Otaru Station towards the port. You can enjoy the history and romance of Otaru City from the canal boat with cruises lasting about 40 minutes. With the gas-powered street lights along the canal, the night cruises are a beautiful sight to behold. During the cold winter a canopy covers the boat and heaters are provided to keep passengers warm.

The tour itself especially the night time cruise (when it runs) is OK by be aware commentary is in Japanese only. So if you do not speak Japanese not worth doing cruise. As cruise does not have...

- A satellite shop of Otaru glassware company Kitaichi Glass. Operating out of an old-fashioned building facing National Route 5, here you can try glass engraving. The shop's sandblasting class involves blasting sand onto the surface of glass to etch out your very own original design and is easy even for elementary school-aged children to do. You can get your creation that very day, perfect for making a memory with family or a friend. The shop also offers a glass bead arranging class in which you combine your favorite glass beads along with other parts to create a necklace or bracelet. The shop is also located a little away from the popular Otaru Canal, ensuring you can enjoy a quieter, more relaxing experience here.

小樽運河の近くを散策していたらこちらのお店がありました。 石造りの外壁に蔦が絡まった建物は明治44年(1911年)に建てられた倉庫を改装したものだそうです。 店内にはたくさんのキャンドルが飾られていました。キャンドル造りの体験もできます。 2階は喫茶店なので利用価値は高いです。

- Salt Valley 408
- Travel / Tourism
- Hokkaido Otaru-shi Shioya 1-27-23
- The boats and rafts on this exploration tour glide through secluded area of the coast, the blue cave. Customers can explore the aqua blue cave located between Shioya and Otamoi. This playground, originally known by the nickname of Nukedooshi, is in a secluded area that is only reachable by small boats and sea kayaks. One of the characteristics of the tour is that it is less susceptible to the wind than the alternative route from Otaru Port. In addition to being able to enjoy the comfort of a pleasure boat, customers also have the choice of feeling closer to the sea in a towed raft. The raft is an active adventure ride with the surrounding scenery and the sea spray from the waves, so if customers don't want to get wet or who have weak legs., it is recommended that they ride in the pleasure boat.

- Otaru Bay Cruise
- Travel / Tourism
- Hokkaido Otaru-shi Minatomachi 4-2
- This sightseeing boat provides a splendid view of Otaru from the sea surrounded on three sides by mountains. Customers can enjoy the sea view of Otaru with its ever-changing unique and varied landscape. Seen from the sea, Otaru has a completely different atmosphere to the city's warehouse-lined canals. The emerald luster of the sea is another superb view that cannot be seen from the land. There are two sightseeing courses available. The Shukutsu route is convenient for visitors who would also like to make a trip to the Otaru Aquarium and Nishin Goten (herring castles), and the Otamoi route, which offers views of the scenery created by the cliffs of the Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park.

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
