Introduction
The Otaru Museum in Otaru systematically shows the port city's industry and people — from herring fishing, shipping and railways to townscape growth — and keeps working steam and old rolling stock. With a main hall and a 'Canal' branch, it is the core facility to read how Otaru became the 'northern merchant city'.
