Temiya Park — Attraction in Otaru

Temiya Park, just a short distance from Otaru Canal, is a lovely place to visit, especially during the fall season. The park combines an athletic field, a forest, and a botanical garden. You'll find a peaceful forest path connecting different entrances. When I visited in autumn, the park was ablaze with red and orange leaves. It's like stepping into a colorful wonderland. Meanwhile, don't miss the view of the Otaru seaside in front of the botanical garden as it's breathtaking!

Overall, Temiya Park is a hidden gem. If you're in Otaru during autumn, make sure...

We came early to view the cherry blossoms. There are 2 stretches one along a staircase and the other on the slope which is not easily accessible.

We are very happy to see all white ones along the staircase.

A few people around and blessed with a beautiful sunny day perfect for photos and watching the cherry blossoms 🌸.

Parking is available but limited so it pays to come early. It’s not an easy accessible spot for those without cars.

A tranquil spot over Otaru...

Highly recommended to check out if you are in town. This was easily the best part of our day trip to Otaru. The walk (slightly a hike as it is uphill) to the park was refreshing, and the views from the top are absolutely beautiful. You’ll get to see the town, the port and all the mountain ranges both across the water and behind the city. There is a nice hill that people will picnic on while you can take in the views. This park is also full of cherry blossoms if you come...
