Otaru Canal is a classic must-visit spot in Hokkaido. When I visited, it was snowing, and the old stone warehouses and both sides of the canal were covered in white snow. The scenery looked like something out of a fairy tale—romantic and enchanting.
Strolling slowly along the canal, taking in the snowy views and retro streets, every photo looked like a postcard. Otaru in winter has a unique charm you don’t get in other seasons. If you’re traveling to Hokkaido, don’t miss this unforgettable, dreamy spot.
