Dive into the wonder of the Blue Cave, Japan's natural wonder nestled in the coastline around Otaru City in Hokkaido. This 80-minute cruise allows you to pass through the Otaru Canal area, Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park, and the renowned Blue Cave.
The tour begins with witnessing the Otaru North Breakwater, Japan's first concrete seawall that has stood for over a century in Hokkaido. Then you can visit Takashima Point, home to the famous Hiyoriyama Lighthouse. But that's not all. You can also see other landmarks, including the Otaru Aquarium, Nishin Goden, and Sea Lion Rock. There's a wealth of fascinating sights to explore.
The tour's highlight features the Otaru Blue Cave, where you can capture the cave's natural beauty with the blue glow of the sea due to seawater erosion and sunlight. The best time to visit is summer to spot seabirds and calm waves or winter for the opportunity to see seals. Many visitors also witness natural sea urchins on days with calm waves and clear waters.
You can ride the JR Hakodate Main Line from Sapporo City to Otaru. It only takes 10 minutes from the JR Otaru station to reach one of Hokkaido's most breathtaking spots.
