It is a well-known sightseeing spot in Otaru.
The Otaru Canal was completed in 1923.
It is not a canal that was dug into the inland, but was built by reclaiming land off the coast, so it is characterized by a gentle curve rather than a straight line.
The canal is about 1km long, and gas lamps are installed along the walking path, and the stone warehouses are lit up at night, creating a charming scenery.

From the end of the Meiji era to the beginning of the Showa era, it was called "Northern Japan's premier economic city", and it is said that as many as 25 banks were active during its peak.
The former Mitsui Bank Otaru Branch, which symbolizes its prosperity, is an important cultural property with a Renaissance-style exterior made of heavy stone masonry, an atrium with a corridor, and a beautiful interior with a plaster ceiling.

This park is located along the "North Canal", which retains the original scenery of the Otaru Canal, which is 40m wide.
In the park, there is a playground equipment building and a rest building that reused stone warehouses from the Meiji and Taisho eras.
In the center, there is a fountain pond with the motif of "Funairima" at that time.
You can feel the history and culture of Otaru.
