Stop and take in The Site of Temiya Line, a narrow-gauge railway line once used to transport coal and marine goods, out of operation since 1985. Observe the remaining parts of the track, signals, and signage in this evocative location, which nowadays often serves for exhibitions and gatherings. Bring along your camera to capture the scene, but be aware that informational posts are in Japanese. To plan Otaru vacation without wasting time, ask Inspirock to design an itinerary.

It snowed so it was beautiful and not many tourists around so you can't see footsteps on the snow. You can have the whole place to yourself. Just need to spend 10 minutes to take in the whole scene.

I passed by this site many times and have never walked through it from one end to the other. On February 12, 2019, the little snow sculptures and lighting installations provided the incentives. I was even stopped by well-meaning people to try bits of a barbecue-hot cake!

Very calm place. If you go inside deeper, there are benches you can sit and enjoy the view and the calmness. It has a good straight and flat road, so it's also good to ride skateboard or longboard.
