The Temiya Line is a peaceful and scenic walking path built along one of Hokkaido’s oldest railway
tracks. Once an active freight line connecting Otaru’s port, the track is now preserved as a
charming pedestrian walkway surrounded by nature, history, and beautiful seasonal scenery.
The path features original tracks, wooden sleepers, stone walls, and historic signs, making it a
favorite spot for photography, quiet strolls, and cherry blossom viewing in spring. It is one of Otaru’s
most relaxing and nostalgic attractions, perfect for travelers who enjoy slow-paced exploration.
