Mount Tengu in Otaru is not only the most beautiful at night, but also a guide to skip-the-line viewing

Otaru Tengu Mountain is not only the most beautiful at night, but also a guide to skip-the-line viewing || A guide to Mount Tengu in a day trip from Otaru Continuing from the previous article, guide to Otaru Aquarium and Shutsu Observation Deck After we watched the show at Otaru Aquarium, climbed to the observatory, and had lunch, the time came to about one o'clock. At this time, the winter sun in Hokkaido had begun to set. The slanted sunlight cut out mottled shadows. My intuition told me that the sun was shining brightly. In the evening, the top of Mount Tengu should be beautiful, so we headed straight for Mount Tengu. 🚗Transportation: If the time is right and there are not many people, you can take Line 11 at 13:10 back to Chuo-dori Station, transfer to Line 9, and arrive at the foot of Tengu Mountain at about 14:00; if you happen to miss the bus or there are too many people to get on it, then it is recommended Take a taxi directly, 🚌it leaves every half an hour. It’s not good to wait in the cold wind for half an hour. Aquarium ➡️Tengu Mountain ¥3,700 can be reached in 20 minutes. After arriving at Tengu Mountain, it was still early in the night, and there were not many people going up the mountain. After buying the tickets, we waited for a round before going up the mountain. The cable car in Tengu Mountain only has two cars. One goes up and one comes down. One car can be crowded For a dozen people, the waiting time for a car is about 4-5 minutes. When queuing, you can estimate the queuing time based on the number of people in the queue. When we arrived at the top of the mountain, it happened to be partially snowing on the top of the mountain. The Tengu Shrine and the woods in the snow were perfect for taking pictures. At this time, it was about half past two, and the sun began to set in the west. The warm winter sun passed through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the mountains southwest of Otaru, casting sharp shadows in the city and cutting the city into the shape of mountain peaks (picture 1-9), the perfect integration of urban landscape and natural scenery will never lose to the night scene. The best light time is about 14:55-15:25. Beautiful light is always short-lived. When the sun sets behind the mountains, there is no sunshine in the city. The shooting date is December 30, and the sunset time is December 16. :10 points, you can make a specific estimate based on the sunset time that day. We queued up to take the cable car down the mountain at 15:30 to avoid the peak of the descent. There were very few people in the queue and we went down the mountain in about ten minutes. When we took the cable car down the mountain, there was already a long queue at the bottom of the mountain. It would take less than an hour to get up the mountain. After that, you can take a seat or take a taxi for ¥1,400 back to the JR station. You will find Otaru, which is very photogenic during blues time (Picture 11). At this time, the light is just right. You can go to other internet famous attractions to take pictures or walk around. All very pleasant. This schedule is suitable for going up the mountain when the weather is good and sunny. If it is cloudy or snowy, the scenery on the mountain may not be very impressive. Please make a flexible decision based on the weather of the day~
