Despite the cold weather, it is an interesting ride, they offer audio guides for you to understand the rich history of the canal plus the scene is just great.

It’s ok, 40 something minutes along the Otaru Canal and a good way to pass time. I made online reservation in advance and paid at the site. Every process is straightforward.

What a bad service! They made us queing for an 1 hour for NOTHING. When we're waiting in line the staff kept counting the people in line and stopping people who wants to queue after us (meaning they had enough people for that boat session and my group was the last) but when we started walking in we were stopped and told that the session is full!? Then what is the purpose of the staff counting the people in line? They should have told us it was full from the very first place!!! What a waste of time 🙄

Otaru Canal Boat I came here with my family. The attraction is very popular so going earlier is important. The office to purchase tickets opens at 10:30 while the first ride starts at 11. There are English options on the audio guide. It’s a short ride about 45 minutes through the Canal. And a small portion of the port. Lots of history is given. And explanation of what the canal was used for. Price is a little high given the tour experience but overall it’s worth giving a try if you have the time.

12-August-2023 ....last day in Hokkaido... so we woke up early today just to spent morning time in otaru before taking JR to Hakodate for Shinkansen back to Tokyo this afternoon... Early morning here in summer is absolutely beautiful as you can see the sky colors! Really clear clouds ☁️
