In February 2014, I visited the Shiroi Koibito Park chocolate factory in Hokkaido.
The chocolate factory was made using a fairy tale concept, with a small house and garden outside surrounded with manga characters.
Shiroi Koibito Park is also popular for its butter and vanilla-flavored cookies, which are a popular souvenir of Hokkaido. I was glad I was able to visit it because it made a good memory.





Not only was I able to see the garden at Shiroi Koibito Park, I also saw the cookies being made, but the sweet smell of the chocolate made me hungry. The history of chocolate was also very interesting. They make miniature chocolates here now, just how they used to make miniature chocolates in chocolate factories in Britain in the 19th Century.
Apart from this, you can also make your own cookies here and take them home as souvenirs, which sounds good. But unfortunately, due to limited time, I was unable to experience the cookie making myself. Visitors can make cookies for a charge of 300 yen, or 200 yen for children aged 12 and under.





Before going home, I went into the café in the building and had an ice cream. I could see the view of the Shiroi Koibito Park from the window of the café. Of course, I bought some of the souvenirs that are only available at the Shiroi Koibito Park and bought some chocolate and vanilla snowman-shaped snacks.
