Adults get on and off the cable car ticket 1600 yen, rush to buy things, go down the mountain before dark, come to see the night scene next winter.

based on 55 reviews"This road is very famous. If you come to Xiaoyan, you will come here. The movie love letter is also taken here. I came during the day and didn't see the lights on. If I stay for a long time, I can come to see it at night."Otaru747m from downtownNo.7 of Best Things to Do in OtaruHighlights: Every winter around February, Otaru in the northern country ushered in the season of ice-covered snow drifting.
