Otaru Canal is one of the must-visit spots in Hokkaido. I visited in December and happened to catch the snow, which made the scenery absolutely beautiful.
There are lots of shops nearby, so it’s really convenient for buying souvenirs. You can also join a canal cruise, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street
Located just one street away from the main thoroughfare facing the Otaru Canal, Sakaimachi-dori flourished during the Meiji and early Showa periods, becoming Otaru's main street.
If you come to Hokkaido, you definitely have to stroll around Otaru’s shopping street. This 1,300-meter shopping street has famous sweets and souvenir shops like LeTAO, Rokkatei, and Kitakaro, plus lots of other great gifts to bring home.
There’s plenty to eat, shop for, and explore. I especially recommend the café where you can even take home an Otaru Canal-themed coffee cup! -
