Otaru Canal Cruise

Rediscover Historic Otaru by Boat

Go on a canal cruise through the city of history and romance on a ship designed to blend in with the cityscape, using a small engine and environmentally friendly biodiesel! Departing from the Chuo Bridge on the Otaru Canal, the boat will take you on a 40-minute cruise with a fun captain's guide through the Chuo Bridge - Otaru Port - North Canal - South Canal's Asakusa Bridge. You may discover a new charm of Otaru if you look at the elegant townscape from the surface of the water. There are two types of cruises: a day cruise before sunset and a night cruise after sunset. The day cruise offers a clear view of the Otaru cityscape, perfect for taking great photos. The night cruise offers a romantic atmosphere with the quiet townscape and lights of buildings reflected on the water.
