When it comes to parking your car, finding a reasonable and suitable spot can be challenging. We recommend the parking areas shown on the Google Map above.
Parking rates are usually higher along the Otaru Canal and the main street, often exceeding 1,000 yen per hour—no joke!
However, if you walk a few minutes from the Otaru Canal, you can find more affordable parking options that we highlight for you.
Please note that parking fees may vary at some locations.
