[2025 Otaru Attraction] Travel Guide for Otaru Denuki Koji (Updated Jul)

#Sapporo Attractions Debato-koji is located in Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan. It is Otaru's food street, recreating the Japanese-style food commercial district of the Taisho period, and gathering the best restaurants in Otaru. It is close to the Otaru Canal. Although it is not large, it has many shops, including oversized takoyaki, various sushi and sashimi, melon soft serve ice cream, as well as formal restaurants such as seafood and barbecue buffets, etc. There is plenty for everyone to choose from. Across the street from the Otaru Canal, you can see a very distinctive tower-shaped building. That is the entrance to Detachi Alley. If you come to Otaru and want to find food, you can come here for a stroll. It is very distinctive and a great place to check in and take photos.

This is what I recommend this time✨ This is the symbol in front of the Otaru Canal, [Otaru Denuki-koji]✨ Address: 1-1 Ironai, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0031 There are 20 shops lined up with few seats, so it's fun to go from one to the other✨ There are ramen, Genghis Khan, yakitori, seafood bowls, croquettes, sweets, bars, and more, so I recommend it because you can finish your meal here and stop at the second or third shop✨ The opening hours of each shop are different, so it's a good idea to check in advance✨ #SapporoTourism

#JapanTravel Otaru Denukikoji Across the Otaru Canal, at the intersection of Asakusa-bashi, ‘Otaru Denukikoji’ is a street of food stalls where you can taste local ingredients. This place, which recreates the streets of Hokkaido’s pioneering period, offers signature dishes made with carefully selected Otaru ingredients from about 20 different shops, and you can also enjoy interacting with the shop owners and local people. At night, lanterns are lit, creating an even more nostalgic atmosphere.

❄️ Denukikoji ❄️ Denukikoji is close to Otaru Canal, so it's a good place to stop by There are various shops such as ramen, yakitori, Yubari melon dessert, etc., and you can even enjoy street food! The shops are not all big, so it has a sentimental atmosphere, and the street itself has an old-fashioned feel. At night, the lights come on and it's even prettier! It's good for taking pictures, and I think it'd be great to enjoy warm sake and yakitori, so I'm introducing it to you! #JapanTravel

Otaru Tanukikoji is an alley where about 20 small izakayas are crowded together. A building that recreates the old Edo period and a delicious restaurant fills the place! It was a good atmosphere to have a drink while chatting with the owner, so there were quite a few people running around even in the middle of the day🍻 It was a bit disappointing that many places were closed during the day, but it is said to be a more beautiful place if you visit in the evening when the lights are shining. Since Tanukikoji is not that big, rather than visiting it on purpose, I recommend combining it with your schedule since it is located right across the Otaru Canal :) 📍Otaru Tanukikoji 1 Chome-1 Ironai, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0031 Japan #JapanTravel #Otaru #Tanukikoji
