Book your Hokkaido day trip now and depart comfortably from Sapporo Station North Exit!
This tour will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, westward to explore Hokkaido's most enchanting coastline and historic towns. From the secluded "Cape Kamui" and "Shimabui Coast" of the Shakotan Peninsula, inaccessible by public transport, to the "Yoichi Distillery" filled with the aroma of whisky, the journey concludes with a romantic stroll along "Otaru-Sakaimachi-dori" illuminated in the night. A professional bilingual (Chinese and English) tour guide will accompany you throughout the tour, allowing you to experience Hokkaido's blue skies, ocean, fine wines, and romance all in one day!
As a landmark of Otaru, the Otaru Canal witnessed the city's golden age. Neatly arranged along its banks are historic red-brick and stone warehouses, exuding a tranquil, nostalgic beauty. The scenery on both banks is reflected on the serene water, rendering the entire canal a picturesque scene.
Otaru Sakaimachi Street Shopping Street — A nostalgic stroll through the romantic atmosphere of the Taisho era. A century-old stone building complex: Stroll along this street filled with retro charm from the Taisho to early Showa periods. Neatly arranged shops converted from old stone warehouses line both sides of the street, making you feel as if you've stepped into a time tunnel. (Lunch is not included in this tour; we recommend having lunch here.)
The Yoichi Distillery, a sacred birthplace of Japanese whisky, is a historic distillery imbued with Scottish charm. The neatly arranged red-brick-roofed stone buildings within the grounds, designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, instantly transport visitors to an old European estate. Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the "father of Japanese whisky," the distillery chose Yoichi, Hokkaido, to achieve a climate remarkably similar to Scotland's. The distillery still preserves the traditional "direct-fire charcoal distillation" method, extremely rare worldwide and key to the unique smoky and full-bodied flavor of Yoichi whisky. (This tour does not include paid visits requiring reservations.)
Here, travelers can not only delve into the secrets of whisky making and visit the history museum, but also experience the tasting area (some parts are available for a fee), or purchase limited edition whiskies and exquisite souvenirs at the attached shop. It is a classic itinerary that travelers who love fine wine and retro architecture should not miss!
Panoramic 360-degree sea and sky views: Step to the very tip of the cape and you'll be greeted by unobstructed, magnificent cliffs and an endless horizon. Breathtaking "Jigsang Blue": Climb the trail that extends into the middle of the sea and enjoy panoramic views of the crystal-clear, jewel-like blue ocean with its high transparency.
Shimamui Coast – A secluded paradise among Japan's 100 best coastlines. A surprise awaits you as you pass through a tunnel: After passing through a dark and mysterious hand-carved passage, your eyes will suddenly be opened up to a stunningly beautiful blue sea view unfold like a painting!
Climb to the wooden observation deck at Cape Golden, and beneath the charming Japanese-style pavilion, take in the breathtaking "Jiktan Blue" sea and the mysterious rock formations of the island. This is also a popular spot for travelers to take Instagram-worthy photos!
