Otaru Highlights Half-day Tour

FULL ITINERARY

Welcome to your personalized Otaru shore excursion, exclusively arranged by Shore Excursions Asia. Upon arrival at Otaru Port, your personal English-speaking guide and private driver will greet you with a personalized welcome board. Begin your day of cultural discovery and scenic beauty aboard a comfortable chartered car or coach.

Ascend to the summit of Mt. Tengu by ropeway for breathtaking panoramic views of Otaru city and the shimmering Ishikari Bay. The landscape is particularly magical in winter when the snow blankets the region, or during sunset hours for a romantic glow over the coastline. Step into one of Otaru’s most revered sake breweries, where traditional techniques have been preserved for generations. Learn about the intricate art of sake brewing and enjoy a curated tasting session of award-winning local varieties.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the iconic Otaru Canal, where the charm of a bygone era is brought to life through stone warehouses, gas lamps, and reflections dancing on the water. This peaceful walk offers many photo-worthy moments and a sense of the city's trading heritage.

Should time allow, explore this lively street lined with Meiji-era buildings transformed into shops offering delicate glassware, hand-crafted music boxes, and locally made sweets. It’s a delightful place to pick up unique souvenirs and admire local craftsmanship. Conclude your excursion with a comfortable return to Otaru Port, in time for your cruise departure. Your guide and driver will ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.
