Otaru Canal is located in Otaru City, Hokkaido, Japan. Once a bustling waterway in the early 20th century, it now stands as a significant historical site of the city's trade heritage. Warehouse buildings from the Meiji and Taisho periods line both sides of the canal, many of which have been converted into restaurants, cafes, and shops. The canal's scenery is most captivating at night when illuminated, making it one of Otaru's most beloved tourist attractions.
