Otaru Premium Walking Guide Tour: Uncover Hokkaido’s Oldest Financial District, Historic Architecture, and the Unique “Aesthetics of a Merchant City” Distinct from Sapporo!

Experience the former glory of Hokkaido’s oldest financial district and immerse yourself in the unique “Aesthetics of a Merchant City” that sets Otaru apart from Sapporo in this exclusive tour.

The true highlight of this experience is the seamless storytelling provided by three professional guides specializing in walking, rickshaw, and canal cruising.

Your journey begins on foot, exploring the historic streetscapes with a knowledgeable guide. Next, you will glide elegantly through the city in a “luxury rickshaw,” feeling the breeze as you admire the grand beauty of Otaru’s signature timber-framed stone architecture from the ground.

Finally, shift your perspective to the water. On the “Otaru Canal Cruise,” enjoy the captain’s engaging commentary as you drift along the gently curving canal, a shape created by unique land reclamation techniques. The breathtaking view looking up at the Otaru warehouses from the water is a privilege exclusive to this cruise.

On foot, by rickshaw, and by boat—unravel the history and geography from multiple angles and enjoy a premium experience that captures the true charm of the Otaru Canal with all five senses.
