About the Yoichi Town Thanksgiving Festival
The Yoichi Town Thanksgiving Festival is a special project held by Yoichi Town in Hokkaido to express gratitude for the support received through hometown tax donations, which has helped strengthen policies in education, industry and welfare.
The project began in 2020 and is now in its seventh year. It started when local winery producers offered rare, hard-to-obtain wines for hometown tax donations “for the benefit of Yoichi Town.”
