Temiya Park (手宮公園) is a comprehensive park on a hill around the center of Otaru city, and has been established since 1900!
Temiya Park is also a famous place for cherry blossoms. Here is a point where you can enjoy the night view while you are in the car. There is also a small park near the parking point. Temiya Park (手宮公園) is a comprehensive park on a hill around the center of Otaru city, and has been established since 1900, and has Temiya Botanical Garden (手宮緑化植物園) and Otaru Temiya Park Arena (小樽手宮公園競技場), and the Temiya Botanical Garden is famous for the cherry blossoms.
The best time to see is from late April to early May. In addition, it is said that the night view from here is very good, too. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge. There is a public restroom beside the parking lot. Drive carefully because the parking lot is small. Otaru Synthesis Museum (小樽市総合博物館), Otaru Steam Locomotive Museum (小樽市蒸気機関車資料館), Temiya Cave (手宮洞窟) and The Place of Railway's Birth in Hokkaido (北海道鉄道発祥の地) are relatively near here.
A large park with an athletics field and a green botanical garden. In spring, it is colored with about 700 cherry trees such as Ezoyama cherry and Yoshino cherry blossom will bloom. Like natural forests, there are chestnut forests and "green botanical gardens", which are said to be the northern limit, and are popular with the citizens as a place for walking and hiking. Temiya Park is a park on a hill, but there is no point where you can see it unexpectedly. Therefore, I would like to introduce the night view from the road that passes through Temiya Park.
If you have one or two cars, there is enough space to stop, and you can see the night view of Otaru Port from here while you are in the car. The night view of the center of Otaru city is small because it is a blind spot.
The last year 2021 Thursday, April 29th Temiya Ryokuka Botanical Garden was opened. Temiya Ryokuka Botanical Garden is located on the east side of Temiya Park, on a hill overlooking Otaru Port.
Inside the garden, there is a Japanese garden that combines water, stones, and trees, a cherry blossom garden, and an aquatic botanical garden. There are sample gardens in the 15th district, such as the rhododendron garden and the button garden.
Autumn colors in Otaru can be enjoyed at Mt. Tengu, ② Temiya Park, and ⑦ Otaru Park. If you are in the city (Map No. 1330), the forest around Otaru Suitengu is a scenic spot. The ① ivy entwined warehouses (Map No. 1301) along the Otaru Canal are also beautifully colored during autumn. Let us take an autumn stroll around the seaside city of Otaru. The view of the autumn colors from the seaside of Otaru is hard to top, and during peak season, the autumn leaves look almost as powerful as the sea.
The route starts from Otaru Station, goes through the shopping arcade from Otaru Suitengu to the Meruhen Intersection, and then along the main shopping street of Sakaimachi to the Otaru Canal. Proceed along the canal to Temiya Park. The return to Otaru station is approximately 9 km. It may be a good option to travel around this route on rental bicycles.

Temiya Station was the first station in Hokkaido for the railroad. The entrance to Temiya Park starts just over the hill. It is a beautiful park colored by natural reds, yellows, and greens and overlooks Otaru Bay, the city, and the mountains. There is also a botanical garden within the park.

This park sits on a hill behind the city hall. It is also a popular spot for nighttime scenic tours and the view of the city and the port is perfect from here. You can enjoy the red of maples and rowans and the yellow of the Itaya maple.
You can enjoy it every season.
