A particularly interesting fact about Otaru is its historic role as a major herring fishing and trading port in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which funded the construction of many beautiful stone and brick warehouses along its famous canal. The closest major landmark is the scenic Otaru Canal, a beautifully preserved historic waterway lined with old warehouses that now house restaurants, shops, and museums, located just a few kilometers from the property.
