Yoichi, Coastal town in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Japan.
The town stretches along the southeastern edge of the Shakotan Peninsula, bordered by the Sea of Japan and surrounded by green hills.
In 1900, Yoichi transformed from a fishing community into an industrial center when Masataka Taketsuru established the first Japanese whisky distillery.
The Yoichi Soran Festival, held during the first weekend of July, brings together the community with traditional dance performances and firework displays.
Regular trains and buses connect Yoichi to Sapporo and Otaru, with transportation services running every hour throughout the day.
The Fugoppe Cave contains prehistoric paintings that represent the earliest documented human presence on Hokkaido island.
