Named for a city of population 165,000, located in Hokkaido {see planet  (3720)} some 30 km west of Sapporo {see planet  (3473)} and overlooking the sea of Japan. Once a prosperous port, its trade has declined in recent years, but beautiful streets and houses, an old canal, warehouses and other stone buildings still remain. This combination makes Otaru a romantic city, and nowadays its main industry is artistic glassware. (M 16886) _ _.
