About Dead End: Jukkenzaka (Temiya/Otaru-city)
About 150 years ago, the Temiya district in Otaru on Japans northern-most island of Hokkaido thrived economically and culturally after becoming a vital shipping port for coal and cargo. There is one particular, steep road in the Temiya district known as Jukken-zaka. As its name suggests, the road is ten ken (an old Japanese unit) wide. It ends abruptly, as a dead end, at the top of a rocky area overseeing the city of Otaru. This steep road and its views is filled with traces of the life and culture of Temiyas deep history.
