The Experience

About our cruises: We run 35 to 40-minute cruises around the Otaru Canal on boats especially designed to match the scenery of this historical area. As our boats travel around both the South Canal and North Canal, and through Otaru’s port, our knowledgeable captains will explain what makes Otaru and it’s canal special. Again, from our boats you can enjoy the view from the Asakusa Bridge that the south canal is famous for from water level. We recommend day cruises to people who want to enjoy leisurely views of historical buildings and Otaru’s cityscape, which with mountains and the sea, has much natural beauty.
