It was hence chosen as the terminal station of Hokkaido's first railway line that connected the port with nearby Sapporo. Many old warehouses and former office buildings by shipping and trade companies give Otaru's city center a special character reminiscent of past decades.

A large preserved herring mansion dating back to the end of the 19th century stands on a hill beside the water about five kilometers outside central Otaru. It was moved to its current location in 1958 and is open to the public.
Former Aoyama Villa (旧青山別邸, Kyū Aoyama Bettei): A luxurious villa built by the Aoyama family, one of the most successful families in the herring fishing industry.
