Otaru Canal Kotatsu Cruise
Enjoy the snow-covered Otaru Canal on a boat with a kotatsu
An exclusive cruise for hotel guests to tour the snow-covered Otaru Canal aboard a heated kotatsu boat. Enjoy special LeTAO sweets while taking in the magical scenery illuminated by gas lamps.
Step aboard our special cruise boat, where bench seats have been transformed with cozy kotatsu heaters. Even during the harsh Otaru winter, you'll stay perfectly warm. For the entire 40-minute journey, you can relax and spend an elegant time completely immersed in the magical, snowy scenery of the retro townscape.
The Otaru Canal is lined with historic buildings. After sunset, gaslights illuminate the snowy landscape, creating a magical scene. Until January, you can also enjoy the "Blue Canal" event—a romantic night view from a special seat on the water.
Onboard, savor LeTAO’s specially crafted sweets, available exclusively on this cruise. An arrangement of the popular "Mini Venezia Rendezvous," this dessert reflects the picturesque winter scenery of Otaru. Drizzling the sweet and sour raspberry sauce creates a delightful effect, making it look as though snow is gently melting away. Enjoy a elegant moment alongside the original blended tea, "Fragrance of Otaru."
