🚌Following Otaru Station, there's a bus stop on the left. Buses go directly to Tenguyama, a 20-30 minute journey. The bus schedule is a bit long, but it's convenient ✌🏻. (The bus stop also runs to the Otaru Aquarium.) 🚡I bought round-trip tickets for the Tenguyama cable car in advance through a certain platform. It was a bit cheaper and came with a postcard and a coupon for a meal at the mountaintop restaurant, which was quite good. Upon reaching the cable car, you need to exchange your QR code for your ticket at the first-floor window, then go up to the second floor to use your ticket. On a pleasant day, the view is amazing, with a bird's-eye view of Otaru. You can even spot Otaru Station and our hotel [smiley face]. It's said that watching the sunrise from the mountain is a must-see. If you're interested, check it out if you can time it right. 😊 (Figure 4️⃣ Cable car schedule). 🐹There are chipmunks on the mountain. Remember to close the gates when entering and exiting to prevent them from escaping [awkward]. The little ones are very alert, so you need to approach them quietly and feed them. Their little teeth are very sharp [smiley face]. Touching the Tengu's nose 👃🏻 brings good luck. There should be a walking trail in the back of the mountain, so if you have time, you can walk it. The restaurant's curry rice is excellent, and the window seats are a great way to enjoy the view while dining. 😊 Visit date: Late September 2025

So nice to go and wander around the city famous scenic spot, it is always nice to come back there for a chill afternoon

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
