Otaru Fishing Port
Otaru Travel Guide 2023
The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
Otaru has three fishing ports, Shukutsu Fishing Port, Shiotani Fishing Port, and Oshiro Fishing Port, all of which are class 1 fishing ports (the scope of use is primarily for the local fishing industry). The fishing port on Takashima is called Takashima Fishing Port District, and is treated as part of Otaru Port, which is an "important port" under the Port and Harbor Law.
Shukitsu Fishing Port, Shioya Fishing Port, Oshiro Fishing Port, and Takashima Fishing Port District have all developed as fishing grounds since the late Edo period, when people came north in search of herring. Many of the industrial legacies of the herring fishing grounds from those days still remain, and the area is very picturesque.
The most attractive thing about Otaru's fishing port is its beautiful sea. It belongs to the sea part of the Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan National Park, which is famous for its nickname of Shakotan Blue.
