A breathtaking view in Otaru Canal

#thingstodo Is Otaru Canal worth visiting? Otaru has always been a popular destination for Japanese locals, but has recently gained popularity with international visitors as well. The village was a rich trading post, and you can still see remnants of its old-time wealth in the varied architecture. I remember one of the Filipino movies “Kita-Kita” was filmed in Hokkaido and Otaru Canal was one of the unforgettable moment they had in the movie.
