Hotel Loop is right across from Yoichi station and a few minutes walk to Nikka distillery which makes it a great location. The staff are friendly and they helped to reserve the Nikka distillery tour for us (which is free!). One of the best surprises is the restaurant. We had the multi-course tasting menu (included in our room charge) pair with wines from Hokkaido. The distillery tour and the dinner were definitely some of the highlights during our 3 weeks trip in Japan. The only problem was there is no elevator but the staff are happy to help. We look forward to returning to Yoichi and stay and dine at the Loop again
