A must-visit place for travel to Hokkaido, the Otaru Canal, which was opened in 1914, still preserves many historical buildings, like romantic scenery in a fairy tale. I like the night view here the most, waiting for the magical moment when the lights are first on and the river bank is dyed golden. The Asakusa Bridge at the beginning of the canal is the best angle to capture the scenery of the canal! Every sunset, many photographers with single-eyed cameras and foot frames are gathered here, waiting to capture the most beautiful images. The kerosene street lights and warehouses along the Otaru Canal are lit from the evening until late at night. The stone warehouses that look simple during the day seem to be changed into flattering clothes at night, showing a very different style.
