[2025 Otaru Attraction] Travel Guide for Otaru Aquarium (Updated Mar)

If you go to Hokkaido, you can't miss Otaru [SnowFlake] The weather was bad in the morning, and Mount Hakodate was on our itinerary, so we decisively gave up Mount Tengu and chose the aquarium instead. [Star] Itinerary: Funamizaka-Shukutsu Observatory & Aquarium-Canalside Shopping We stayed in Otaru, so we walked from the hotel to Funamizaka Funamizaka. Just after exiting Otaru Station, turn left, pass the Sanjiao Market, turn left and climb a little uphill to arrive. Let's check in and take a photo p3. You can also take photos of the railway on the bridge, but unfortunately there are iron railings. After taking the photos, walk back to Otaru Station and take bus No. 11. The last stop is the aquarium, Otaru Aquarium. The ticket price is 250 yen. After getting off the bus, go to the Shukujin Observatory first, and then climb uphill towards the Ferris wheel. It takes several hundred meters and is quite fast to climb P1&2&4. After taking pictures, there is a staircase opposite the Ferris wheel. Climb up to the aquarium. Buy tickets on site, 1,300 yen per person. The main thing is to watch the little penguin and dolphin performances. We watched the little penguin show at 12:40. The little penguins will take two laps. There is no need to go early in advance to wait. We arrived 2 or 3 minutes early. After watching the little penguins, you can watch the dolphin show at 13:00, and then you can take the bus back. The bus returns to the second-to-last stop, and then walk to the Otaru Canal. You can stroll and take photos, such as Snoopy/Kitty/Miffy. Many stores in Otaru close at 18:00 or 19:00, so pay attention to your time. Basically after 19:00 at night, there are no people on the street [Facepalm] There is really no nightlife at all [Facepalm]

#Travel itinerary Otaru, a must-visit on your Sapporo trip! I went there last summer and visited again in winter!! Otaru, where I realized why people say winter is the real deal! It was snowing and it was really pretty!! And this time, I enjoyed it for 2 days and 1 night 🏷️ Recommended day trip itinerary - Get off at Otaru Station > Triangle Market > Minami Otaru Train > Sakaimachi Street (Merchen Intersection_Orgel Doh, Dessert, Kitaichi Hall, etc.) > Otaru Canal (Night View) - Otaru Station Or - Get off at Minami Otaru Station > Train > Sakaimachi Street > Otaru Canal 🏷️ What if you visit for 2 days and 1 night? -Otaru Aquarium -Tenguyama Observatory -Sumiyoshi Shrine -Old Temiya Line Railway -Love Letter Hill #Otaru #Otaru Travel #Sapporo Suburb Travel #Hokkaido Travel #Japan Travel

Hokkaido’s winter is so beautiful! Southerners have a longing for snow, and they really wish they could spend the whole winter in Hokkaido! In late December of previous years, the snow in Hokkaido arrived as promised, like a paradise for powder snow. With the Ice and Snow Festival, the dazzling night view🌃, and the warm yellow lights shining on the snow-covered streets, Hokkaido in winter is like a love letter💌. 🏨In terms of accommodation, you need to book in advance, because winter is the peak season and the hotel 💴 is on the higher side. A friend from the hotel recommended staying near Odori Station. Sapporo's three subway lines all pass there, so it's very convenient for subsequent trips. 🚇 Use Google Maps to find detailed transportation guides for the subway. Station exits, departure times, and trains are all marked. It is recommended to prepare transfer information. 🚗In terms of itinerary, if you are visiting Otaru and Sapporo, it is very convenient to take JR or subway; if you want to go to Asahikawa Zoo, Biei Aoike, Furano and other places, it is recommended to charter a car. Although JR can get there, the round trip is more time-consuming, and the shuttle bus time is fixed . ⛷️In terms of skiing, Sapporo Ski Resort has a unique forest slide, where you can ski and soak in hot springs, and the transportation is very convenient. The scenery of Furano Ski Resort is also very beautiful. The Niseko Ski Resort is now open and is suitable for experienced skiers and families. The resort facilities are relatively complete, but the price is high. 👔In terms of clothing, hats, scarves🧣, fleece thermal clothes and heating socks should be prepared. The cold of minus ten degrees is really biting, and there is heating indoors. 🥾In terms of shoes, snow shoes should be waterproof, non-slip and warm. You can buy anti-slip mats at FamilyMart and Lawson supermarkets in Sapporo. 💰As for expenses, if you want to live well and have fun in Hokkaido, you have to be prepared to spend. Especially hotels in Niseko are not cheap, and public transportation is not very convenient. 💕Suggested itinerary: Day1: Domestic - Sapporo. Day2: Sapporo - Otaru - Tengu Mountain Cable Car - Otaru Aquarium or Otaru's Dream Blue Light Festival. Day3: Otaru - Enjoy a full day at the powder snow paradise and Niseko Ski Park. Day4: Ski Resort - Hakodate: Kanamori Warehouse - Goryokaku Park - Tropical Botanical Garden - Mount Hakodate. Day5: Hakodate - Hakodate Market - Noboribetsu Hell Valley - Noboribetsu Date Jidai Village. Day6: Return to China 👉👉Tips: During the peak winter season, 💴 will be more expensive. It is recommended that you get a few friends to travel together and rent a car, which is more cost-effective!

Before, I didn't have a chance to explore Otaru properly, so this time I specifically went to the aquarium for the Ferris wheel. The shooting location of this Ferris wheel is in the parking lot of the Otaru Aquarium. After taking photos, you can go to the aquarium for a visit. There are cute little penguins 🐧 swaying around, which is very interesting.

Place: Otaru Aquarium, Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan 🗺️Map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cd3rm7Kq17P3SkeF7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy 🚂Transportation: Take bus number 11 from the bus terminal outside Otaru Station ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 daily 💬Introduction: When I first started looking for attractions in Otaru, I felt like there was nothing else to do besides the Otaru Canal. Then I saw the Otaru Aquarium. Actually, I hadn’t originally wanted to come because I had been to aquariums before in Okinawa and Taiwan, and I felt that since I was already in Hokkaido, I didn’t need to go to an aquarium specifically. But as I looked up more information, I found out that the Otaru Aquarium actually has a penguin walk event! ! My boyfriend and I don't know how to drive, and we don't really want to join a tour group, so we couldn't go to Asahiyama Zoo to watch the penguin walk. When we found out that there was a penguin walk at Otaru Aquarium, we decided to go haha ​​😝😝 In addition to the penguin walk, there is also a dolphin show that we can enjoy together There is also a very distinctive yellow Ferris wheel outside the Otaru Aquarium, which is very suitable for photography. We also found a photographer here to help us take couple photos, which are really beautiful! Pairing it with a blue outfit really creates a great atmosphere, and once you enter the aquarium you will still be amazed by the underwater creatures, such big fish! What a special species! In fact, the aquarium is more interesting than you think! In addition, I think the cafeteria here is also great, the price is not expensive and the food is delicious! I ordered the curry pork chop which was awesome 🥹🥹 You need to reserve a spot in advance for the penguin walk. The penguins will walk around in a full circle and you can basically see them clearly as long as you stand in the first row. The way the penguins walk is really cute and adorable! You must come and see it once. I couldn't help but take a lot of beautiful videos and put them on the channel to share with everyone. The dolphin show was also great. At the end, the dolphins jumped directly onto the stage to greet everyone. It was really amazing! ! We sat in the first row, very close to the dolphins. ✨Features: Penguin walks, dolphin shows 💰Average consumption: Tickets: 1,300 yen There are restaurants with menus costing around 1,200 yen. 📝Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 You can check out my YT videos There are other travel videos 🤍🤍 📺Lin Family Girl - Travel Photography #Hokkaido #Must-visit in Hokkaido #Hokkaido sightseeing #Otaru #Otaro #OtaruAquarium

👩‍❤️‍👩Otaru Otaru Hokkaido's winter hides pure romance, and Otaru Shukutsu Panorama Observation Deck is the perfect place to take pictures of this romance. Don't miss it when you come to Otaru! 📍The transportation is very convenient: get off at JR Otaru Station, take bus Line 11, get off at Otaru Aquarium, and walk slowly for 10-15 minutes to arrive. It is more worry-free to drive by yourself. You can drive directly to the observatory and easily start this romantic journey [Grin]. [StarEyes] There are hidden surprises here. The Shukutsu Observatory is very close to the Otaru Aquarium. After enjoying the snow, you can go to see the cute marine life [Cute]. The dreamy Ferris wheel nearby is intertwined with the snow scene, and any photo you take is very photogenic [Love]. [Yeah] When you get to the observatory, it feels like you’ve walked into a fairytale snow country. Large snowflakes fluttered down, gently covering Otaru Port with a silver coat. The ships are quietly docked, with masts looming in the snow. The mountains in the distance are also covered with snow, which contrasts with the snowy scenery of the harbor in front of us. Any glance is a beautiful winter picture [Congratulate]. 🌆The cold sea breeze is howling and the snow is flying all over the sky. Looking down at the mountain, the sea water is surging against the rocks; the steep cliffs beside add a bit of danger; the fireworks and world in the distance add a warm atmosphere to the snowy scene. The beauty of Otaru is displayed before your eyes without reservation, and every glance will be deeply imprinted in your heart. 📸If you want to take photos, the fence next to the observation deck is a great spot. Leaning against the fence, with the snowy Otaru Port as the background, strike a pose casually, and capture the atmospheric snow scene with ease. Dominating the circle of friends is not a problem. The winter snow scene at the Otaru Shukutsu Observatory is a gentle poem that heals everything. Come here for a date with the snow, it will definitely become the most unforgettable white moonlight in your travel memory.

Otaru Tengu Mountain is not only the most beautiful at night, but also a guide to skip-the-line viewing || A guide to Mount Tengu in a day trip from Otaru Continuing from the previous article, guide to Otaru Aquarium and Shutsu Observation Deck After we watched the show at Otaru Aquarium, climbed to the observatory, and had lunch, the time came to about one o'clock. At this time, the winter sun in Hokkaido had begun to set. The slanted sunlight cut out mottled shadows. My intuition told me that the sun was shining brightly. In the evening, the top of Mount Tengu should be beautiful, so we headed straight for Mount Tengu. 🚗Transportation: If the time is right and there are not many people, you can take Line 11 at 13:10 back to Chuo-dori Station, transfer to Line 9, and arrive at the foot of Tengu Mountain at about 14:00; if you happen to miss the bus or there are too many people to get on it, then it is recommended Take a taxi directly, 🚌it leaves every half an hour. It’s not good to wait in the cold wind for half an hour. Aquarium ➡️Tengu Mountain ¥3,700 can be reached in 20 minutes. After arriving at Tengu Mountain, it was still early in the night, and there were not many people going up the mountain. After buying the tickets, we waited for a round before going up the mountain. The cable car in Tengu Mountain only has two cars. One goes up and one comes down. One car can be crowded For a dozen people, the waiting time for a car is about 4-5 minutes. When queuing, you can estimate the queuing time based on the number of people in the queue. When we arrived at the top of the mountain, it happened to be partially snowing on the top of the mountain. The Tengu Shrine and the woods in the snow were perfect for taking pictures. At this time, it was about half past two, and the sun began to set in the west. The warm winter sun passed through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the mountains southwest of Otaru, casting sharp shadows in the city and cutting the city into the shape of mountain peaks (picture 1-9), the perfect integration of urban landscape and natural scenery will never lose to the night scene. The best light time is about 14:55-15:25. Beautiful light is always short-lived. When the sun sets behind the mountains, there is no sunshine in the city. The shooting date is December 30, and the sunset time is December 16. :10 points, you can make a specific estimate based on the sunset time that day. We queued up to take the cable car down the mountain at 15:30 to avoid the peak of the descent. There were very few people in the queue and we went down the mountain in about ten minutes. When we took the cable car down the mountain, there was already a long queue at the bottom of the mountain. It would take less than an hour to get up the mountain. After that, you can take a seat or take a taxi for ¥1,400 back to the JR station. You will find Otaru, which is very photogenic during blues time (Picture 11). At this time, the light is just right. You can go to other internet famous attractions to take pictures or walk around. All very pleasant. This schedule is suitable for going up the mountain when the weather is good and sunny. If it is cloudy or snowy, the scenery on the mountain may not be very impressive. Please make a flexible decision based on the weather of the day~

🏠 Otaru Aquarium 🚩 3 Chome-303 Shukutsu, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0047 Japan ⏰ Every day, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM 📝 I went to Otaru Aquarium because I heard you can see penguins in Otaru. In addition to penguins, you can also see seals, sea lions, and seal shows at this aquarium. But I think the best time was definitely with the penguins. The sight of them walking around is a cute scene that you can't find anywhere else in the world. #WinterTravelDestination

Seeing my first love, I took advantage of the end of national travel support and planned to go to Sapporo to eat, drink, and walk. The whole route was planned around food and coffee, but accidentally discovered many beautiful niche attractions. Day1 9:45 Arrive at Chitose Airport-Otaru-Sapporo After disembarking, we went straight to Sapporo Station to store our luggage. Key point: After the money letter is the seaside train, remember to sit on the right to see the sea! Morning: I went once 2 years ago, when there were not so many buildings on the seaside, it was easy to photograph, now there are too many buildings, actually not recommended, so stayed for a while and left. After leaving Otaru, take the bus to Otaru Aquarium. Highlights: 1. Qingyan Canteen! (Very fresh and delicious, and cheaper than Triangle Market, Japan's 100 famous restaurants seafood bowl locally ranked top three) Right on the seaside, you can eat while watching the sea, the staff grandmother is also particularly cute 2. Otaru Aquarium: The surrounding scenery is super beautiful, right by the sea, and it’s much better to take pictures now than in the morning! Although the venue is a bit old, there are a lot of rare little animals and it feels like the keeper really loves the little animals. The main thing is to see penguins walking without going to Asahikawa! Afternoon tea check-in letao headquarters (separately introduced after the coffee section) Dinner: おたる政 Sushi Main shop, a bit difficult to make an appointment, is said to be Michelin sushi, good service and good taste, in front of the face to knead sushi to watch is also quite interesting, and the uncle kneading sushi is particularly talkative hahaha. Day2: Dingshan Creek Hot Spring ♨️ Day return, cliff coffee check-in It takes about an hour to get to Dingshanxi Onsen by bus. Higui Onsen chose Zhangyue grand hotel. The scenery is superb and the snow is thick, it’s really not too cool to soak in the open-air hot springs on a snowy day. Coffee shop Checked in Gakenoue (very beautiful coffee shop! Written separately after the second to last picture) Lunch is included in the hot spring, traditional Japanese hot pot cuisine, the taste is okay (I don't like eating these Japanese food but I think it's okay) Dinner: Izakaya くさち. Definitely a local treasure crab izakaya, the crabs are fresh and sweet and too good with vinegar and mayonnaise! The roast chicken in the shop is also excellent, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender! The important thing is that it is very cheap and great value for money! Last day: Eat in downtown Sapporo, coffee shop, one-in-6 billion beach check-in Breakfast: Morihiko Coffee (very popular and comfortable coffee shop, coffee lovers must visit this coffee 100 shop) Lunch: suage+ soup curry The shop, also a very popular 100-famous shop, I think there is no need to go specifically to eat, Hokkaido delicious soup curry too much. After lunch we went to the one in 6 billion beach in "First Love", in the money letter, get off the tram and walk a short distance to get there. (Qianhan Beach) Cr: User 7654321

penguin cute and the best snow in the world

Variety of sea creature that you can be close and touch. good for kids to learn about this animal like sea urchin etc.. love the penguin walk parade. so close up with the penguin although it tend to be very crowded with visitor and you dont have enough space to stand and take photo. There are also few animal show like dolphin and seals. If you driving, the parking is provided and but quiet a distance to walk with steps. #GiveThanks
