Otaru is the closest port to Sapporo, through which many travelers arrive. It is pleasant to spend half a day or an evening there, to stroll along the canal lined with buildings of the Meiji and Shōwa eras. The promenade, which runs along the canal, is particularly romantic at night, as it is lit by oil lamps. When the snow comes to lay its white coat on the city, the spectacle is even more enchanting. Today, the canal is lined with cafes and stores. Otaru is only 34 minutes by express train (airport) or 45 minutes by JR Hakodate Main Line from Sapporo Station.
