Otaru and Yoichi Winter Sightseeing Bus Tour

January 29,2022 OA

Hokkaido Chuo Bus has a spectacular sightseeing bus tour ready for you to enjoy the Otaru and Yoichi area!
Discover and try delicious gourmet food at the Sakai-machi Street in Otaru.
Since it’s a bus tour, you don’t need to drive yourself; that means you can have a drink (or two, haha!) Included is the “thrilling” Canal Cruise, a must-try experience.
The grand finale of the tour is a beautiful display of projection mapping!

A trip around Abashiri and Bihoro in Okhotsk, East Hokkaido.
Our adventure for this episode is the view of Lake Kussharo from Bihoro Pass. The fusion of the sea of clouds and the sunrise over the lake is one of the most spectacular sights in East Hokkaido!
