Funami-zaka Slope
A steep slope born as a firebreak after the great fire of 1904, now a movie filming location
With a gradient exceeding 15%, Funamizaka is one of the steepest hills in Otaru.
Created as a firebreak after the great fire of 1904, this slope lives up to its name — meaning "ship-viewing hill" — by offering views of ships anchored in the port. From the top, a sweeping seascape unfolds, stretching from Otaru Port toward Ishikari. Featured as a filming location for movies and TV dramas, this popular hill is easily accessible, located close to JR Otaru Station.
In recent years, large crowds have gathered here, creating a situation known as overtourism. Please observe proper etiquette: do not step onto the roadway to take photos, do not enter private property without permission, and do not litter on roads or private property. Enjoy your visit safely.
