In recent days, it is extremly cold in Otaru.
Otaru Canal, a popular scenic spot of Otaru in Hokkaido, is in chilled and clear atmosphere as well. It will be soon illuminated with the light of a lot of candles during Otaru Snow Gleaming. At present, it looks as if waiting for the lively event alone in silence.
I like Otaru Canal in cold Hokkaido.
