【Bibai Snow Park】

Located near Sapporo, Hokkaido, this snow park serves as a golf course in the summer and transforms into a snow wonderland in the winter, blanketed in thick snow.

Alternatively, you can enjoy other snow activities at your own expense, including mini snowmobiles, snowmobiles, quad bikes, and snow rafts.

【Otaru Canal】

The Otaru Canal, completed in 1916, is the only canal in Japan built by land reclamation rather than inland excavation. It stretches 1,140 meters and is a symbol of the prosperity of Hokkaido, a port city that flourished from the Meiji to Taisho eras as the gateway to the north. Along the canal, many old warehouses line the canal, creating a nostalgic scene reminiscent of the past.

After walking straight along Sakaimachi Street for about 10-15 minutes, you'll arrive at an area with retro buildings dating back to the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa eras, and experience a nostalgic atmosphere! This area is known as the "Wall Street of the North." Kitaichi Glass is a prime example of this area's iconic store. This shop, once again renovated from a warehouse dating back to Hokkaido's pioneering era, is divided into sections such as the Glass Hall, the Glass Shopping Center Hall, and the Crystal Hall. The dimly lit warehouses create a dreamlike atmosphere with the beautiful shimmer of glass and crystal. Sakaimachi Street is also home to a variety of interesting unique shops, including sundries shops and cafes renovated from historic buildings.

[Otaru Music Box Museum European-style Steam Clock]

The steam clock at the entrance of the Otaru Music Box Museum, built in 1977 and originating from Canada, is one of only two remaining in the world. Every hour, steam billows and the melodious chimes echo, transporting you back in time. The interweaving of vintage machinery and romantic streetscapes allows you to experience the charm of Otaru at every turn!
