Otura & Historic Hokkaido Village - Thursday, October 20, 2022


Driving along Sea of Japan on the way to Otura
  

Otura, facing Ishikari Bay & Sea of Japan, is known for its’ canals. The port was opened to trade with USA & UK in 1899. 


The port has been restored and now houses cafes, museums, shops & restaurants

It was a beautiful autumn day for a stroll through the village
