Sightseeing Cruise in Otaru Canal

As you sail through the Otaru Canal, learn about the vibrant culture and history of Otaru, a thriving trade port noted for its canals and old structures. Put on your safety equipment, board a boat, and navigate the Otaru canal. With a multilingual audio guide to your aid, travel by well-known landmarks, such as the famous Asakusa-Bashi Bridge, before turning toward the North Canal and returning to the Central Bridge from which the cruise left. The vintage charm adorning every corner of the quaint town will surely charm you on this boat ride.

Join the Otaru Ushio Festival Canal Cruise during summer for a truly Japanese experience, complete with the Ushio Odori dance, Ushio Nerikomi recital, regatta, and a parade of fishing and leisure boats. Take in the lively and bright atmosphere as residents swarm the streets for the processions. On your sail through the Otaru Canal, marvel at the spectacular fireworks displays that fill the night sky.
