--is at Lat.43 10'N.Lon.14045'E, or about the same Latitude as the middle of New York State, Toronto Canada, Vladivostok Russia. --rests about 50km west of Sapporo City in southern Hokkaido, which is the northernmost of Japan's four principal islands, and was one of the last Japanese frontiers to be developed. --has three sides surrounded by mountains, and one side on the coast (Sea of Japan). --is blessed with the things that really matter to great whisky. However, Scotch whisky captured the young man's imagination, as well as the interest of few other enterprising Japanese of that day. He decided to dedicate his life to whisky.

Catch the JR rapid to Otaru and then a local train to Yoichi. Just over an hour or so all up. A very short walk then from the train station to the distillery (5 mins). Grounds of the distillery are lovely. It rained when we were there but the supply of comp umbrellas to use on site sorted that out. You can join a tour or wander yourself. We did the latter and we didn’t feel that we missed anything. Free tastings are on offer as are paid tastings if you want to try something a bit more special. Lots of options in the gift shop of course for boozy souvenirs! PS JR rail passes are good for the whole trip. No need to buy extra tickets.

We had our first meal here in Hokkaido. The eatery is located near the entrance of the Yoichi Nikka Distillery (not the carpark). It is on the second floor, there is parking available next to it. There is also a liquor and grocery store on the first level. In the restaurant, there are display of the available food. Choose your food and make payment. Free seating, and wait for your order number to be called. The grilled fish was very tasty and inexpensive.
