Jumping in Yoichi, explained.
Yoichi sits on Hokkaido's Shakotan coast, an hour west of Sapporo, better known for whisky distilleries and fruit wineries than for freefall — which is exactly what makes Skydive Hokkaido's summer season special. The tandem here (JPY 200,000, handcam included) climbs above a coastline of green headlands and the Sea of Japan, with Niseko's ranges inland. The operation is strictly seasonal — Hokkaido's summer window — so confirm current jump dates on the listing before building a trip around it. Most jumpers pair it with the Otaru–Yoichi coast or a Niseko summer stay; from Sapporo it's a comfortable day trip by car or train.
