The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
From Asakusa Bridge, a famous photo spot on the Otaru Canal, cross the big street Rinko Line and head straight down Nichigin Street towards Otaru Station, eventually coming to the intersection with Shikonai Boulevard.
The area is full of bank buildings that were built when Otaru was once known as 'the best economic city in northern Japan', and when as many as 25 financial institutions had their headquarters and branches in the area at its peak.
Moreover, the various architectural styles of each period, from the Meiji Period's 113th and Bank of Japan to the former Savings Bureau (Municipal Museum of Art and Literature), a pioneer of post-war modern architecture, are lined up in a narrow 500 m radius by leading designers.
This spectacle represents the modernisation of Japan and can be found nowhere else.
