The Otaru Canal is a canal with a long history and a landmark of Otaru City, Hokkaido. A row of red brick warehouses are lined up along the canal, which is a symbol of Otaru City as the financial and economic center of Hokkaido, Japan. Due to the war, the industry declined and the canal lost its function, so half of the canal was filled in and used as a road. Today, these warehouse buildings have been converted into glass craft shops, teahouses, restaurants and large stores, becoming a tourist destination.
