Otaru Canal
When Marnie Was There

Otaru Canal

小樽運河

The historic canal district of Otaru with its preserved Meiji-era warehouses provided architectural inspiration for some of the period buildings in Marnie's world. The nostalgic atmosphere of old Japan resonates with the film's themes of memory and the past.

Scene from the Anime
