Attraction recommendation: Yoichi Distillery Nikka Whiskey Hokkaido Factory
Once you step into the snow, the distillery is surrounded by the unique ice and snow scene of Hokkaido winter - covered with snow, the architectural red bricks, full of Western style (a sense of being in a European town!) The museum introduces the distillation equipment, brewing process, brand history of whiskey in detail.

The most anticipated part of the distillery is the tasting session. Japanese whiskey fans know the authentic production of Yuichi, this time with 10,000yen can try out of print models (some of which are difficult to buy even in Japan), if you just want to try, but do not want to miss the experience, join the distillery's free local tour in advance Self-driving friends really have to hold back to drink apple juice, safety is the most important, tips are at the exit location some apple juice exclusively sold; there is also a souvenir area, you can get a variety of limited edition whiskey or wine vessels, gifts and personal use enough decent!
