The Otaru Canal is the symbol of Otaru and a popular destination for the tourists nowadays. It is in line with the nostalgic row of houses and stone warehouses in which old objects of historic interest reside. The canal is illuminated by the gas lamp lights at night which creates a fantasy like scene throughout the year. The stone structures from Meiji and Showa Periods remain now, which allows the visitors to experience and enjoy the memories of the streets.
