Regardless, I'm fairly excited for this part of the journey. In my research this train trip is supposed to be incredibly...

The train to Otaru and Yoichi Today I am taking a day trip from Sapporo to Yoichi. I will be visiting the Nikka Yoichi Distillery.

On my first visit to Japan one of my fondest memories is visiting the Suntory Yamazaki Whisky Museum. So knowing that I will be in the vicinity of another...
