Otaru is a charming port city famous for its romantic canal, glasswork, and fresh sushi. Located 80–95 km from New Chitose Airport, the JR route requires a transfer at Sapporo Station — about 75 minutes total. A private transfer takes you directly from the airport to your Otaru hotel in about 90 minutes. In winter, the snow-covered canal district is magical but public transport can be disrupted by heavy snowfall — a private car is the most reliable option.
