Hokkaido Shrine and Otaru Highlights Day Trip from Sapporo

About this activity

Depart from Sapporo and journey to the awe-inspiring Hill of the Buddha, renowned for its majestic architectural beauty.

Next, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the historic Hokkaido Shrine and Maruyama Park, which bursts with spectacular cherry blossoms in the spring.

After capturing sweet memories at the fairytale-like Shiroi Koibito Park, head to the classic and charming city of Otaru. Enjoy three generous hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Join your guide for an exclusive photo session at the vintage Former Temiya Railway Line, then wander along the scenic Otaru Canal, bustling Sakaimachi Street, or famous Sushi Street.

This special tour perfectly blends Hokkaido’s hidden scenic gems with Otaru's romantic atmosphere before returning comfortably to Sapporo in the evening.
