AREA MAP
Located just an hour’s drive from Sapporo city center are two historic regions of Hokkaido: Otaru, the charming port city that used to be the “Wall Street” of Hokkaido, and Yoichi, the small town nestled in the hills that gave birth to Japan’s first ever “Scotch” whisky.
Yoichi Distillery
Masataka Taketsuru, the father of whisky in Japan, built the distillery in 1934 in Yoichi, where the cool climate, crisp air, and low humidity resembled Scotland. Here you can learn about the distillation process and even compare flavors at a whisky tasting.
