S1E5 · Sea of Otaru

In this episode, Charlotte Kate Fox visits Otaru, which is a 45-minute drive from Sapporo. The retro canal is a very popular tourist attraction. Otaru was a prospering town in the past and fished over a million tons of herring annually. For a period, the herring population had declined, but successful spawning has been observed in recent years. We will show you the impressive footage of the herring spawning later in the show. Charlotte will also try skishoe trekking for the first time on a mountain with an amazing ocean view! Join her, as she gets close to nature while enjoying the scenery of a snowy forest.
