Funami-zaka Slope
A steep slope born as a firebreak after the great fire of 1904, now a movie filming location
A scenic spot located in Inaho and Tomioka, Otaru City, known as one of the steepest slopes in the hill town of Otaru.
This slope, created as a firebreak after the great fire of 1904, allows views of ships anchored in the port, as its name suggests. Looking from the top of the slope, you can see ships floating in Otaru Port, rows of red-roofed buildings, and the seascape continuing to Ishikari Bay. The sea breeze rushes up the slope, and the sounds of the port can be heard from afar. Climbing the steep cobblestone gradient, you can feel the historically paved path underfoot and understand why it has been used as a filming location for movies and dramas.
At the bottom of the slope are Sankaku Market and Chuo Market, where the aroma of fresh seafood drifts. At the top of the slope are tourist spots such as glass workshops and kimono rentals, where you can experience Otaru's traditional culture. The buildings lining both sides of the steep slope form a landscape connecting Otaru's history and present.
