While the Otaru Canal Cruise usually operates with bench seats, we will operate a boat specially equipped with kotatsu in cooperation with “Goudou Kaisha Otaru Canal Boat,” an Otaru Canal cruising company. On board the boat, you can stay warm and cozy in a kotatsu even in the harsh Otaru winter. During the approximately 40-minute cruise, you can spend an elegant time surrounded by the snowy scenery of the retro cityscape to your heart’s content.
The Otaru Canal is an exotic place lined with historical buildings, such as those made of stately wood and stone. This program will be held in the evening when the canal is illuminated after sunset. The fantastic scenery created by the historical buildings covered in snow and the warm lights of the gas lamps is a beauty that can only be seen in winter.
Onboard, guests can enjoy a special dessert specially developed by LeTAO for this program. This creation is an adaptation of LeTAO Pathos’ popular “Mini Venice Rendezvous (Chocolat)”, designed to capture the scenic charm of Otaru as seen from the boat. Snow-covered streets are represented with cream and powdered sugar, while gold leaf evokes the gas lamps illuminating the Otaru Canal at night. In addition, guests can savor LeTAO’s original blended tea “Scent of Otaru,” inspired by the city’s retro streetscape. Together, the dessert and tea offer a refined and elegant way to enjoy the view of Otaru while indulging in its flavors.
