Hokkaido West Coast Tour: Otaru & Yoichi Distillery & Shakotan Peninsula Day Trip from Sapporo

Description

【Shakotan Peninsula Cape Kamui】 A cape protruding from the Sea of Japan, with spectacular cliffs and quiet trails along the way. Standing on the top of the cape, you can enjoy a 300-degree panoramic view of the sea, which is refreshing. 【Shimabui Coast】 Known as one of the "Top 100 Coasts in Japan", it is famous for its clear blue waters. After passing through the dark tunnel, it suddenly becomes clear, as if entering a dream world. It is recommended to walk down the trail to experience the charm of the sea breeze and sea water up close. 【Yoichi Distillery】 The only whiskey distillery in the world that still uses coal-fired direct distillation, with unique craftsmanship, strong flavor, and a burnt aroma. It uses "virgin barrels" (new oak barrels) for aging, adding a unique flavor. 【Otaru Canal】 A landmark attraction in Otaru, famous for the movie "Love Letter", with different scenery in each season, especially romantic in winter. The kerosene lamps and red brick warehouses along the coast show a strong literary atmosphere, attracting many artists to stop and create. 【Kitaichi Glass House】 A famous glassware brand in Otaru with a long history. Kitaichi Glass House No. 3 was renovated from a warehouse during the Meiji period and is one of the largest and most popular stores.
