Spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) is the best time, as the weather is milder and suitable for walking, admiring the scenery and tasting local food.

What are the must-see attractions?

The Otaru Aquarium, coastal train scenery, snow platform, Otaru Canal, etc. are all must-see attractions.
