This seasonal day tour departs from Sapporo Station and explores Otaru and its surroundings in a small group of 6–9 people. In winter (from December 1) you visit Zenibako Coast, the Otaru Aquarium area and Shukutsu Observatory, central Otaru and the Mt. Tengu observatory; in summer and autumn (July 13 – December 1) you head to Cape Kamui in Shakotan and the Otaru Canal area. Rather than rushing through many sights, you spend relaxed time at each stop to take photos and explore at your own pace.
Meet at Sapporo Station and depart by vehicle on a small-group tour of 6–9 participants. Depending on the date, the tour follows the winter course (from December 1) or the summer and autumn course (July 13 – December 1), with plenty of free time at each stop. A driver accompanies you and speaks English, Japanese and Chinese.
Leave Sapporo Station at 08:30 and stop for about 20–30 minutes of photos at Zenibako Coast, famous from Japanese films such as 'First Love' and 'Love Letter'. You can see a winter landscape of frozen shoreline, snow-covered land and deep blue sea. Around 10:30 you arrive at the Otaru Aquarium area and Shukutsu Observatory to explore as you like for about 2 hours.
Around 13:00 you reach central Otaru for about 80 minutes of free time. Browse the shops and cafés of the Otaru shopping streets and the seafood-focused Sankaku Market, or walk about 300 m to Funamizaka Hill. Have lunch of your choice such as seafood, sushi or soup curry (at your own expense).
Around 15:20 you arrive at Mt. Tengu, Otaru's highest viewpoint, and stay about 110 minutes to enjoy views of the city, harbor and surrounding mountains, the blue hour and the night view. The Mt. Tengu Ropeway is optional and must be paid separately. You arrive back at Sapporo Station around 18:30.
Leave Sapporo Station at 09:30 and arrive at Cape Kamui around 11:30 for 1 hour 20 minutes of free sightseeing. If the gate is closed due to strong winds or other weather, you can only go as far as the 'Nyonin Kinsei' (no women allowed) gate. Then enjoy 80 minutes of free time for lunch in Shakotan, where you can taste a fresh seafood rice bowl (at your own expense).
From 14:50 you can ride the Shakotan underwater observation boat (glass-bottom boat). The stop lasts about 1 hour with about 40 minutes of sailing. It is optional and paid separately (adults 2,500 yen, children 1,300 yen, under 4 free). If the boat does not sail due to bad weather, free time in Otaru is extended instead. From 17:00 to 18:40 you have free time around Otaru Canal and the Otaru Music Box Museum (you may leave the tour here if you wish), and you arrive back at Sapporo Station around 19:30.
