🔥Walk into the romantic dream of the time capsule──A magical afternoon trip along the Otaru Canal🔥

#5月好去处2025 Address: 5 Minato-cho, Otaru City, Hokkaido Atmosphere/Facilities: The Otaru Canal has neatly paved trails, lined with cafes, craft shops and restaurants that were converted from old red brick warehouses. It is suitable for leisurely strolls during the day, and soft mood lights are lit at night, creating a romantic atmosphere, especially for couples to roam or take retro photos. Occasionally, there are sightseeing boats on the canal, providing guided tours, allowing tourists to appreciate the historical features of Otaru from the water. Features: The Otaru Canal was once a symbol of a prosperous fishing port, but now it has been transformed into a tourist landmark, retaining the nostalgic atmosphere of the past. The red brick warehouses and stone buildings are intertwined into a unique landscape, and the snowy scenery in winter is even more dreamy with the lights. This is not only a photography destination, but also a place to experience the unique history and literary atmosphere of Hokkaido. Every February, the "Otaru Snow Light Road" is held, with thousands of candles lighting up the entire canal, like a poem or a picture. Rating: ★★★★★(5/5) ⸻ Experience: Coming to the Otaru Canal is like accidentally entering a nostalgic painting. It was a cloudy and slightly chilly afternoon. Walking on the stone road polished by time, the river reflected the reflection of the red brick warehouse. There were not many tourists, and the atmosphere was quiet and poetic. Every corner and every window lattice seemed to hide a story. Can you imagine that a hundred years ago this was a port with busy goods and workers coming and going in a hurry? Although it is quiet now, it is more precious because of this tranquility. I casually walked into a warehouse-converted cafe, ordered a cup of hot cocoa, and looked at the canal through the glass, as if time had stopped. Jazz music was playing in the store, which was wonderfully in line with the nostalgic scenery outside the window. I even saw a couple in retro dresses taking wedding photos. The picture seemed to travel through time and space, making people unconsciously want to become romantic. There are also many glass craft shops and music box museums along the way, and the handmade products show the craftsman spirit of Otaru. I bought a small glass pendant with fine snow and blue bubbles inside, as if to seal the memory of this afternoon. The Otaru Canal at night is even more amazing, with the reflections of street lights and warehouse lights interweaving, making the entire canal dreamlike. If you come here in winter, when the snowflakes slowly fall, this is simply a romantic scene with an explosive index. Whether you are a literary youth, a couple, or a lone traveler who likes quiet travel, the Otaru Canal can bring you a unique journey. There is no hustle and bustle of modern cities here, only the charm of the old city whispering quietly. Come here, and you will understand that Otaru is not a tourist attraction for a quick visit, but a long-lasting memory. #小樽苍苍 #小樽 #小樽藝術村 #小樽觀景船 #小樽好去 #Hokkaido 打签景景 #小樽打签
