Otaru Canal
Otaru Port, which developed as a gateway for Hokkaido's settlement, saw an increasing volume of cargo over the years. To streamline its transportation, the "Otaru Canal" was completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canal, created by reclaiming the offshore coast, is characterized by its gentle curves rather than a straight line.
Walking along the canal really makes you slow down and relax.
It’s one of the classic Hokkaido spots — if you skip it, it feels like you’re missing something. -

Kyoto Takashimaya S.C.
Perched on the southwest corner of the bustling Shijo Kawaramachi intersection in Kyoto, this large-scale retailer keeps a long and bold history since its infancy as the “Takashimaya” vintage clothing cotton merchant that founded in the local year of Tempo 2 (1831). The brand moved to Kawaramachi-Takatsuji as the first privately-owned, reinforced concrete commercial building during the Meiji era in 1912, and has since then moved to its current spot as a market center in 1946.
It’s right at Shijo Kawaramachi, so the location couldn’t be more convenient. You can even stroll around the old streets before or after shopping!

Sotomo
On the northern coast of Uchitomi Peninsula, there is a cave created by marine erosion. The 6km-long cliff is dotted with amazing rocks, rock tunnels and caves named Hell Gate, Couple of Turtles, White Waterfall, Big Gate, Small Gate, etc. and designated as a national place of scenic beauty. Sotomo is the name originally used by local fishermen, meaning the exterior surface or back surface. The Kanji characters were adopted in Edo Period which are still used today.
It wasn't as good as I expected. The boat ride took almost an hour and honestly, it got a bit boring.
