Japanese Heritage "TANTETSUKO" spots!
Experience the Industrial Revolution of Hokkaido! Four recommended photogenic spots of the Japanese Heritage "Tantetsuko." These are spots related to "Tantetsuko," where the "Tantetsuko Meal" served for breakfast and lunch at SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL BAR & GRILL Splish originates from.
Since the Meiji era, the rapid modernization of Japan was supported by Hokkaido's coal, steel, ports, and the railway network that connected them. The history that unfolded with Sorachi's "coal mines," Muroran's "steel industry," Otaru's "ports," and the "railways" that connected them, is the story of the northern industrial revolution known as "Tantetsuko."

MAPOtaru City
Former site of the Temiya Line
The former Japan National Railways Temiya Line was part of the government-run Horonai Railway, the first railroad in Hokkaido, which opened in 1880.
The railroad was built to transport coal from Horonai (Mikasa City) to Otaru Port. The line was closed down in 1985, but the abandoned railway tracks have been maintained as a promenade. Why not take a walk to the Otaru City Museum, the birthplace of the Hokkaido Railway, while thinking about the history of the railroad?
