Otaru is a historic port town on Hokkaido's west coast, serving as one of two cruise options for the Sapporo area. Ships dock at the Otaru Cruise Terminal steps from the Otaru Canal — a photogenic stretch of gas-lamp-lit warehouses now hosting glass and music-box workshops. The Sakaimachi street of historic bank buildings fills an in-town day. Sapporo's Odori Park and Ramen Alley are about 45 minutes by train.
