Overview

  • Explore Otaru and Yoichi at your own pace on an 8-hour private vehicle tour from Sapporo. Travel comfortably between Otaru’s historic canal district, Sakaimachi shopping street, Yoichi’s whisky heritage, and Mt. Tengu without relying on trains or buses.

    Default route: Sapporo hotel → Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery → Otaru Canal → Sakaimachi Street & Kitaichi Glass → Mt. Tengu → Sapporo hotel.

    You may request a different combination of listed stops at least 24 hours before departure. All requested attractions cannot be guaranteed within one day; the final route depends on traffic, parking, opening hours, weather and the 8-hour service limit.

    This is a private vehicle service with a regular driver only. No tour guide or guaranteed English-speaking driver is included. Admission tickets, meals, tastings and optional activities are paid separately.
