[2025 Yoichi Attraction] Travel Guide for Nikka Whisky Museum (Updated May)

NIKKA WHISKY Yoichi Distillery is one of Japan's most iconic whisky brands. Located near JR Hakodate Main Line Yoichi Station, it's just a 25-minute train ride from Otaru. Japanese whisky, which originated from Scotland, is known for its light and delicate flavors, making it suitable for Asian palates. Visitors can tour the Scottish-style distillery and its equipment to gain a deeper understanding of the whisky-making process and related knowledge. The Whisky Museum, converted from a storage room, showcases the history and brand stories of many whiskies. In the tasting room, you can sample different flavors of whisky before heading to the sales area to purchase Yoichi's renowned whiskies. This is a must-visit spot for whisky lovers.

Since I extended my trip to Yoichi in Hokkaido, I would like to introduce the Nikka Museum located on the grounds of the Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery. ☺️ This museum is free to enter and has a very popular exhibition where you can learn about the history of Nikka Whisky, as well as a paid tasting corner. I was able to taste rare items that are usually hard to come by, and I was impressed by the deep flavor of the whiskey. The staff were also very kind and taught me about whiskey in a fun way. The items sampled at the museum can be purchased at a nearby shop. There were many whiskeys that were only available at the distillery, so whiskey lovers should definitely visit. ☺️ I was able to enjoy the smoky and aromatic whiskey while feeling the sweetness of the oak barrels. 📍Location: 7-6 Kurokawacho, Yoichi-cho, Yoichi-gun, Hokkaido 🕰️Business hours: 9:15-16:15 🚗Parking: Available #FreeTabiWinter #0YenTravel #NikkaWhisky

Must see for whiskey lovers🥃 (Of course, even those who can't drink alcohol can enjoy it💡) When I was in Yoichi, I stopped by to buy some whiskey as a souvenir! A reservation is required to visit the Nikka Whisky distillery, so I visited the nearby Nikka Museum! You can visit for free without making a reservation. There is a stamp rally and a place where you can enjoy whiskey tasting for a fee🥃 💞Reasons why I recommend it: I was impressed by how passionately they made whiskey! Even if you don't like whiskey, you might want to try it! ? 🕰️Business hours: 9:15-16:15 📍Address: 7-6 Kurokawa-cho, Yoichi-cho, Yoichi-gun, Hokkaido 046-0003 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: There is a restaurant🍽️ next door and a hall where you can buy souvenirs. In addition to alcohol, they also sell sweets and T-shirts, so it's fun to look around🙆♀️
