Northern Wall Street is the name of the financial district of Otaru which was prosperous enough to move the financial markets of London during the Taisho Period (early 1900s). The former Otaru Branch of the Japan Bank, one of the historical buildings representing Otaru, has been turned into a museum dedicated to the financial history of Otaru and the Bank of Japan. It conveys the establishment and its prosperity to the modern era with informative exhibits. In the museum there are interesting exhibits and an experience of feeling the weight of 100 million yen. There is also an exhibition zone that describes the challenges of price stability, a counter that was once used as a bank teller window, and more. Besides the museum, historical buildings such as the Otaru Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the former Hokkaido Bank head office are close by and also worth seeing. Guided tours are also available.
