Otaru is a port town on Ishikari Bay, about 85 km from New Chitose Airport on the far side of Sapporo. The drive first heads north to Sapporo on national Route 36 or the Doo Expressway, crosses the city on the Sapporo Shindo bypass and then follows national Route 5 or the parallel Sasson Expressway, a toll road, west along the coast. Winter snow and coastal wind can slow the last stretch, and summer weekends bring heavy traffic around the canal area.
Otaru's sights lie close together near the sea. The Otaru Canal with its stone warehouses runs a short walk downhill from JR Otaru Station, and Sakaimachi street with its glassworks, music box shops and old merchant houses continues south-east of the canal. Many hotels and ryokan sit in the streets between the station and the canal, while Asarigawa Onsen lies in the hills to the south-east. The ferry terminal for Niigata and Maizuru is on the Katsunai wharf east of the centre.
Public transport instead: JR Hokkaido train Rapid Airport (through trains) from New Chitose Airport Station (B1F of the terminal building) to Otaru Station — about 1h 15min. Hokkaido Chuo Bus Airport bus via Sapporo to Otaru from Domestic Terminal 1st floor, platforms 13 and 20; International Terminal platform 84 to Otaru — about 2h 30min.
