Hokkaido 'Love Letter' Filming Location｜Complete Guide to Otaru Tengu Mountain

There's always a winter to go to Hokkaido, so I came to Otaru. 'Love Letter' was filmed many years ago, but the 2021 re-screening on 520 was the first time I saw it, so I have memories of Otaru. 🌲【Recommended Otaru Attractions】Suitable for 1 day tour The main attractions in Otaru are Otaru Canal, Funamizaka, Tengu Mountain, and Asari Station. Otaru Canal and Funamizaka are not far from Otaru Station, about 300-500 meters away, you can quickly shoot and stroll around. Asari is suitable for getting off the train from Sapporo to Otaru for a quick shoot, then you can get on the train, or you can pass by when you return to Sapporo from Otaru. 【About Tengu Mountain Guide】(Must See) 🚌Transportation: Take the No. 9 bus from the 4th platform at the entrance of JR Otaru Station to Tengu Mountain, the one-way fare is 240 yen. 🎫Cable Car Ticket: Queue up to buy the cable car ticket immediately after arrival, the round-trip price is 1600 yen, it is more cost-effective to swipe wx. Swipe zfb or wx as much as possible in Japan, the exchange rate is good, save money. ⏰Time: It is recommended to arrive at Tengu Mountain at 2-3 o'clock, you can shoot the scenery from day to night. The night view can be shot when it gets dark at 4 o'clock, don't wait until it's pitch black to shoot, you can't shoot anything, and there are a lot of people going up the mountain from 4-5 o'clock, and the queue is freezing. Remember to go up the mountain at 2 o'clock no matter what, go to the place you haven't shot the next day. Remember. ⛰️Mountain Top Environment: There is a house on the top of the mountain, it is very warm inside, you can eat and drink, there are many people in line. You can go out and shoot for a while and come in to warm up, it's also nice to shoot the cable car through the glass, there are only two cable cars, one red and one blue. The red one looks good. There is a shrine, a pavilion, and a tree on the top of the mountain. It's beautiful to go when the weather is clear, you can see the whole Otaru and the coastline, if you have the conditions, it's beautiful to shoot with a telephoto camera. The brighter the clothes in the snow, the better. You can also imitate the 'Love Letter' black coat. 🏨Hotel: Otaru hotels are almost all near the station, just a few hundred meters walk, very convenient, and eating is also convenient.

The night view is called one of the three night scenes of Hokkaido. It is also a small ski resort every winter. At the beginning of the movie "Love Letter", the place where Watanabe Bozi runs wildly in the snow is the scene taken at this ski resort. The observation deck on the top of the mountain overlooks the entire small raft, and the view of the small raft is unobstructed.

Hokkaido Otaru Two-Day Two-Night Travel Guide.

This guide is suitable for friends who have limited time and only visit Sapporo and Otaru. 1️⃣Accommodation Sapporo Grand Hotel From New Chitose Airport Station, take the Rapid Airport Line directly to Sapporo Station, and walk ten minutes to the hotel. The accommodation experience is perfect, you can walk to the city center and commercial street, there are many convenience stores around, and it is very convenient to go to the airport. 2️⃣Transportation On the first day, around 11:00 am, take the local line from Sapporo Station with Otaru as the final stop. You can use a watermelon card to enter the station or buy a ticket at the machine. After selecting your destination, insert coins according to the displayed amount. After entering the station, be sure to take your ticket! It will be used when exiting! If you want to get to Otaru quickly, you can take the Rapid Line. Some stations will not stop in the middle. Because we wanted to get off and see the sea, we took the Local Line (the ticket will be invalid if you get off in the middle). Most people choose to get off at Asari Station, but you can also get off at Zenibako Station, the previous stop of Asari Station. There are fewer people, you can walk directly to the beach, and if you are hungry, you can go to 711 to buy a rice ball 77. Next, return to Zenibako Station and take the train to Otaru. On the way back, we chose the Rapid Line, which will be faster. 3️⃣Otaru🤩 My favorite Hokkaido city, after all, the movies "Love Letter" and "First Love" were filmed here, especially romantic! The city is relatively small, one day is enough. Get off at Minami-Otaru Station and walk down a slope for about ten minutes. Turn around to Otaru Commercial Street and walk to Otaru Station. The bus to Mount Tengu departs from the bus stop next to Otaru Station. You can buy tickets, swipe your watermelon card, or pay 240 yen by coin when you get off. On the second day, get off at Otaru Station directly, and immediately go to Funamiseki. This whole day is for city walking, then walk from Funamiseki to Otaru Canal. 4️⃣Mount Tengu🏔️ Cable car 1600 yen for adult round trip, manual ticket purchase takes one minute. To prevent the cable car from closing early, we went up the mountain at 2:30 pm. You can wait for the blue hour on the mountain. If it snows heavily, you can wait in the window seat of the rest room. If it stops snowing, you can go out and play in the woods. You can also take a photo of the same style as "Love Letter". 5️⃣Food Otaru Seafood Restaurant Sawazaki Suisan No. 3 Crab rice is more expensive but delicious. Very small shop. Sapporo's soup curry must be eaten! Kinotoya Bake's milk ice cream is also super delicious!

A fleeting glimpse of the bustle in Otaru, Hokkaido

Otaru, a port city in the southwestern part of Hokkaido, Japan, serves as the outer port of Sapporo, facing the Ishikari Bay. It is located in the western part of Hokkaido, facing the Ishikari Bay, and developed about 100 years ago as the maritime gateway of Hokkaido. It flourished to the utmost, with numerous banks and businesses flocking here to develop, and it was even called the 'Wall Street of the North'. The night in Otaru is so quiet, strolling on the streets, looking for local delicacies. 🌈 Transportation Tips Take a train from JR Sapporo Station to JR Otaru Station or JR Minami-Otaru Station, with a one-way fare of 750 yen, and a travel time of 30 minutes (rapid train) to 45 minutes (local train) 🌈 Otaru Highlights 1⃣️ In the past, the canal was crowded with numerous sampans loading and unloading goods, and the banks were lined with brick and stone warehouses, a scene of bustling activity. Today, these warehouse buildings have been converted into glass craft shops, teahouses, restaurants, and large stores. 2⃣️ In front of Otaru Station, you can take a public bus and then transfer to the Tengu Mountain Ropeway to reach the summit. This boundless world of mountains and sea covered in snow is one of the three major night views of Hokkaido. 3⃣️ Hokkaido Glass Pavilion, the Romantic Pavilion, and Otaru Canal, to be honest, are just average. A group of people from our country squatting on the thickly snow-covered riverbank, holding cameras towards the canal, muttering to themselves not knowing what to shoot 4⃣️ The much-anticipated Triangle Seafood Market closes after evening, and I didn't get to eat there. The popular restaurants concentrated across the canal are the next stop to look forward to. The seafood rice from Zazeki Marine Products, the robatayaki seafood from Tsurukichi. They are all small restaurants, with seating for 10 people, hard to get a seat.

Hokkaido's unmissable Tengu Mountain, I missed it, there's a pit avoidance guide inside!

⭕ Be sure to check the weather conditions in advance! The operating status of the Tengu Mountain cable car can be checked on the official website!

There are various souvenirs of Tengu masks 👺 at the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire Otaru from the top of the mountain is very good looking, taking pictures is very productive. I missed it perfectly this time , I can only take a few shots from the bottom of the mountain. Welcome to like, collect, and follow. Chenchen will update several Sapporo guides and shares in the near future, otherwise there will be no fans.

Peak Serenity: Tengu's Embrace Awaits

#2024wish In January, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Tenguyama Observation Deck and Mt. Tengu Summit. The Observation Deck, perched high above with panoramic views of nature's beauty, offered a breathtaking spectacle of snow-covered landscapes. As I ascended Mt. Tengu, the serenity intensified, surrounded by ancient forests and pristine snowfields. The summit greeted me with a sense of accomplishment, and the crisp mountain air invigorated my spirit. The experience was a harmonious blend of tranquility and awe-inspiring vistas. In 2024, I wish to go there again, chasing the same sense of wonder and embracing the timeless allure of Tenguyama and Mt. Tengu.

Skiing course at Tenguyama

#2024wish In January 2015, I embarked on an unforgettable trip to Otaru Tenguyama, a picturesque ski resort nestled in Hokkaido's snow-covered landscape. The enchanting Otaru Tenguyama Ropeway carried me to the summit, offering panoramic views of snow-clad mountains and the serene Sea of Japan. Eager to embrace the winter spirit, I enrolled in a basic skiing course. The crisp air, powdery snow, and the thrill of gliding down the gentle slopes made it an exhilarating experience. The quaint charm of Otaru town added a touch of magic to the journey. As memories of that snowy escapade linger, I find myself yearning for a return. In 2024, I wish to go there again, reliving the joyous moments etched in the winter wonderland of Otaru Tenguyama.

You will pass by a location 2 intersections away from the seaside where you can see the Otaru Canal (see Figure 1). If you're hungry, you can go to the nearby Triangle Market to grab a bite.

The coat and black hair of the protagonist in the opening scene of "Love Letter" stand out in the vast white snow.

The coat and black hair of the protagonist, Hiroko Watanabe, in the opening scene of "Love Letter" create a strong visual impact in the vast white snow. In fact, it is Mt. Tengu in Otaru, overlooking the Otaru Port, resembling a Chinese ink painting. The trees in the white world are desolate yet captivating. On the rooftop observation deck. Next to the cable car station exit is the observation deck, where you can overlook the entire Otaru. There are also free visits to the Tengu Museum and the Otaru Ski Museum nearby. The rest area here has Hokkaido ice cream, which is as pure as drinking milk and has a super amazing taste! Around the cable car station, there are three observation decks. Among them, the first observation deck has an excellent view that can capture both the view of Otaru city and the cable car at the same time. Tengu Mountain Shrine Behind the cable car is the Tengu Shrine on Mt. Tengu, with a long-nosed Tengu statue. This statue is the origin of the name of Mt. Tengu. It is said that touching its long nose can ward off evil and fulfill wishes. The Tengu Shrine in the snow is unusually quiet and charming, unlike in the past. It is recommended to visit before sunset because it is colder and windy at night, whistling. The white flag at the entrance is still quite scary. Dog Mountain skiing for multiple days. If you want to rent equipment, after taking the cable car up the mountain, on the right side after getting off the cable car, there is a window where you can rent from someone (after getting off the cable car, you can directly see many ski boards, sand boards, etc. placed against the wall, just find the staff). The sandboarding area is a small enclosed area to the left after getting off the cable car, where there is a slope specifically for sandboarding. The area is not very large, but it is enough for sandboarding. Tengu Restaurant If you haven't had a meal yet, or if you feel too cold outside and want to find a place to stay, you can choose here. This restaurant, which can be found right after getting off the cable car, has a particularly high cost performance! The super large floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of Otaru. Mt. Tengu night view At night, standing on Mt. Tengu and overlooking Otaru, the entire city is like a jewel embedded in it. It is one of the three major night views in Hokkaido, along with the night views of Mt. Hakodate and Sapporo's Moiwa Mountain. There are also many lights for tourists to take pictures~ The cable car of the snowy mountain is wrapped in mist, wiped away, and the face appears in the bright light, climbing up the mountain of the boundary. Listening to Sakamoto's "forbbiden colours", Koma is stepping on wooden clogs and meeting Yashima in the back mountain, and the village is also peaceful like this.

"Love Letter" used to It is one of my favorite movies, and now I am in a small hustle and bustle, as if I walked into the film. Tianlu Mountain, one of the movie viewing places, take the Central Bus No. 9 from the bus stop in front of Otaru Station, get off at Tendo Mountain and get off at the cable car station of Tengu Mountain. The journey takes about 18 minutes and takes 4 minutes by cable car to reach the summit. Tickets: 1140 yen for adults and 570 yen for children, remember to be optimistic about the return time.

In the winter, the little cockroach started to enter the night at four o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature plummeted and it was only possible to quickly return to the room. However, after the night, the Tengu Mountain is worth looking forward to, and the lighting makes it another look of ice and snow. Tiangou Mountain is the highest point of Otaru. It overlooks the city of Otaru on the top of the mountain. It is called the night view of Hakodate in Hakodate, and the night view of Sapporo in the Momoyama Mountain. It is called the three night scenes of Hokkaido. Tengu Mountain is also the location of the movie "Love Letter". Do you remember the snowfield that called the Fujii tree at the end of the film? That scene is Tiangu Mountain. To go to the observation deck at the top of Tengu, you need to take a sightseeing cable car. As a means of transportation, the cable car itself is also a landscape. If you like outdoor sports, you can also go skiing or snowshoeing here, and the winter is limited.

The high point of Tengu Mountain overlooks the whole small mountain. The night view is called one of the three night scenes of Hokkaido. It is also a small ski resort every winter. At the beginning of Love Letter, the place where Watanabe is running in the snow is in the place. This ski resort takes the view. The snowy Tianshan Mountain will have a snow every ten minutes. When the snow is big, nothing can be seen, so the luckiest time is when standing on the top of the observation deck. Just the wind blows away the heavy snow in the sky, overlooking the whole small raft, and the beautiful scenery of the small pimple is beautiful, especially beautiful~
