When it comes to sightseeing in Otaru, Sakaimachi Shopping Street is the second most popular spot after the Otaru Canal. It is a place that is almost a must-visit when you come to Otaru.

Sakaimachi Street is lined with nationally famous stores such as Kitaichi Glass, LeTAO, Otaru Music Box Museum, and Kamaei, and many shops are located in historical buildings, creating a romantic, atmospheric streetscape.The approximately 900m street stretching from Sakaimachi Intersection, nicknamed Marchen Intersection, to Ironai Boulevard, once known as the Wall Street of the North and home to a constant stream of bank branches, is home to many souvenir shops and gourmet spots, making it a popular shopping area with many tourists.

The "night light" installed at Marchen Intersection is a reproduction of a wooden lighthouse that stood on a hill in Shinkacho, Otaru City during the Meiji period. It is also popular as a photo spot and rest area.
