The Sea Route and Networks
Otaru City, which was opened as an entrance to Hokkaido on the Sea of Japan coast, now attracts many tourists from all over the country as a city of warehouses and canals.

Sea, warehouses, and canals
are the three important keywords for the opening of "the route of the sea" running from Hokkaido to the Main Island.

Esashi Town is about 200 kilometers from Otaru. It was once a prosperous town as a starting point for the sea route.

Otaru and Esashi on the northern island
have obvious links to people from Ishikawa Prefecture.
