The cable car experience at Tengu Mountain in Otaru is amazing! The couple took the cable car from the foot of the mountain and slowly ascended. It took ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain, overlooking the panoramic view of Otaru City and the blue bay. The romantic index is full! The wind on the top of the mountain is slightly cool, and the photos taken while walking are all great. Although the stay is only one hour, the cable car is efficient and the scenery is magnificent. It is definitely worth including in the Hokkaido itinerary list!
it is so very cold in Hokkaido, once you have taken the cable car you will reach the top mount and go for some snowy weather mountain experience

So nice to go and wander around the city famous scenic spot, it is always nice to come back there for a chill afternoon
Meet Hokkaido in "Love Letter", walk through Funamizaka, avoid the crowds and frantically press the shutter at the Shukutsu Observatory to record the photos of life. Life is for experience😝

The scenery is different during the day and at night. It is still very beautiful. However, there are a lot of people and it ends at 10 o'clock. The staff started to turn off the lights before 10 o'clock. It takes a long time to turn off the candles one by one. It probably means that it will be 10 o'clock after the lights are turned off, hahaha
This road is very famous. People who come to Otaru will come here. The movie Love Letter was also filmed here. I came during the day and didn't see the lights on. If you stay for a long time, you can come and see it at night.
