Around February each year, the wind and snow of Hokkaido pile up into a world of silver white. The already elegant Otaru Canal, covered in pristine white snow, gains an even more dreamy white ambiance. The classic, nostalgic red-brick warehouses along the shore, as well as the crystal-clear glass artworks, all captivate visitors with their unique charm.
