The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
The Otaru City Museum has two facilities: the Main Museum Building and the Canal Pavilion; the two facilities are about a 20-minute walk apart. The Main Museum was newly opened in July 2007 (Heisei 19), integrating the functions of the Museum and the Youth Science and Technology Museum in the former Otaru Transportation Memorial Hall located in Temiya. At the same time, the former museum, which had been located in the "Former Otaru Warehouse" along the Otaru Canal, was renamed the Ungakukan.
The former museum, now the Ungakukan, is a facility where visitors can learn about the history of Otaru City and its rich natural environment in an easy-to-understand manner, with the first exhibition room displaying old photographs and maps documenting the Kitamae Ship, herring fishing industry, and changes in the city, and the second room displaying natural materials on animals and plants.
