Sorachi district, Administrative district in Hokkaido, Japan
Description
Sorachi is an administrative district that spans a large area in Hokkaido and contains several smaller towns connected by an integrated transportation network. The area is defined mainly by agriculture, particularly hop cultivation.
History
The area was established during the creation of provinces on Hokkaido in the 1870s and received its official designation as a district years later. Early development was closely tied to the settlement and infrastructure growth of the island.
Culture
The region is known for growing Sorachi Ace hops, which are used in Japanese beer production and show the strong connection between the land and local craftsmanship.
Practical
The area is best visited by accessing the connected towns, each with its own train station or road link. Allow enough travel time between towns since distances in the region are considerable.
