9, Comments from EnjoyJapan! Editorial dept.



View of Clock tower in Shiroi Koibito Park

It was literally Confectionery theme park, such as Shiroi Koibito Cookies factory and Shiroi Koibito park where original cookie making is possible. We could see the procedure of famous "Shiroi Koibito" cookies, which is very rare, and it made us feel more intimacy to Shiroi Koibito. In addition, your own original cookiecraft experience, using familiar langues du chat cookies as a base, must be very interesting! Only one "my Shiroi Koibito" in the world should be a good memory for sure.

Besides to confectionery related experience, there are many ways to enjoy the park such as railway through many exhibitions and facilities, rose garden, soft ice cream house where popular "Shiroi Koibito soft ice cream" is available, and restaurants.

I am wondering to be an honorary member, because if I collect 10 stamps on the entrance passport, I will be the honorary member and get free entrance to Factory walk which is usually charged. :)
If you come to Sapporo for sightseeing, please visit "Shiroi Koibito Park" where children and adults can enjoy.
