Want to experience the romantic charm of Otaru in just half a day? This Otaru Canal Half-Day Immersive Experience takes you from Sapporo to two of Otaru’s most iconic spots—the Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Shopping Street—by comfortable bus. No driving or planning required. Simply check in at the meeting point and enjoy a relaxing journey.

Upon arrival, you’ll have free time to stroll through the nostalgic Sakaimachi Shopping Street. Take in the historic stone buildings, try popular local sweets, or stop by one of the many glass craft shops for a unique souvenir. A walk along the Otaru Canal offers a completely different atmosphere in every season—snowy winters, warm summers, and everything in between.

This tour does not include guiding services, meals, or additional equipment, allowing you to explore at your own pace. In the evening, the bus will take you back to Sapporo and drop you off at Sapporo Station North Exit, Odori Park, or Susukino, making it easy to continue your evening plans.

If you want to enjoy the beauty of Otaru in a short but fulfilling trip, this half-day experience is the perfect choice.
