View the tools and living conditions of herring fisherman during the heyday of herring fishing, once one of Otaru's major industries. Since the early days of the town's development right through to the 1950s when the industry collapsed due to a drop in herring stocks, large fortunes were made by leading fishing enterprises. Visit the Aoyama Villa (09:00 - 17:00/JPY1,080), the luxurious villa of one of the most successfully families in the herring industry.
