The area of Otaru is famous for its beautifully preserved canal district, historic stone warehouses, and glassworks. An interesting fact is that Otaru was once the financial center of Hokkaido in the early 20th century, earning it the nickname 'Wall Street of the North.' The closest major landmark is the scenic Otaru Canal, a beautifully preserved waterway lined with old warehouses that are now shops and museums, located approximately 2.5 kilometers from the property.
