The Akaigawa DMO proudly announces the opening of the “Otaru Kitashiribeshi Ski & Adventure Center” at Wing Bay Otaru. As a hub for immersive tourism, this center showcases the best of food, lodging, entertainment, and nature in the Kita Shiribeshi area. Experience the true splendor of Hokkaido’s hot tourist destination.

The area (Otaru, Yoichi, Niki, Furubira, Shakotan, and Akaigawa) offers diverse experience-based tourism options for excursions and stays. However, the majority of visitors are day-trippers, with only a small percentage staying overnight. To attract more tourists, it is important to offer a wide range of appealing content for day-trippers, round-trip tourists, and those on extended stays. Emphasizing the overall attractiveness of the region and providing comprehensive information will help draw in more visitors.

The objective of the center is to transform Otaru into a round-trip tourist destination by offering diverse adventure, nature, and food experiences. By strategically establishing the center in Otaru, we aim to commercialize and promote the region’s attractive experience-based content, attracting more overnight visitors and encouraging longer stays.
