Otaru Park

Otaru Park encompasses extensive grounds with walking paths, lawns, and recreational areas integrated into the natural landscape of Hokkaido prefecture.

The establishment of this public space in 1900 marked a significant development during the Meiji era when Japan initiated modern urban planning strategies.

Throughout the year, the park serves as a central gathering point for community festivals, concerts, and seasonal celebrations that showcase Japanese traditions.

Multiple bus routes connect to the park entrance, and visitors can utilize the available parking facilities, restrooms, and designated picnic areas.

The park contains an observation point offering panoramic views of both the city landscape and the sea, creating opportunities for photography.
