Discover Otaru Denuki Koji Near the Otaru Canal

Denuki Koji (出抜小路) has become one of the iconic spots in Otaru City. This charming area, reminiscent of old-time Otaru, features 16 food stands and restaurants offering a variety of dishes such as tempura, seafood donburi, ramen, grilled meat, and sushi.

This small theme park is dedicated to local gourmet delights. Prices for sushi and seafood donburi start from 3,000 yen, which is about average for the Otaru canal and station area. Another popular spot is the Sankaku Market, located just to the left of Otaru Station, known for its seafood stands with small booths lining both sides of the narrow passageway. Many tourists can be seen lining up in front of the seafood donburi shops.

Otaru and its surrounding towns are famous for their fishing industry, offering an abundance of fresh seafood that you can enjoy to your heart’s content.

After visiting here, you can walk south along the canal to explore Otaru’s bustling tourist district, including Kitaichi Glass and the sweets shop LeTAO.
