What other travelers are saying about Shiroi Koibito Park (Chocolate Factory)
This was an absolute delight to visit. The chocolate factory and museum was informative and extremely cute, and the decoration and lights out in the snow were extremely festive and fantastic. I also quite enjoyed a sweet and filling meal in the upstairs restaurant. Highly recommend for couples, families with children or just people who love sugar and fun.
Such a cute place! Many photo taking aesthetic spots in and outside the park with places to put your phone on to take joint photos without needing to ask someone. We paid for the extra admission but I don't think it's necessary if you just want to purchase some stuff and look around. The ice cream is great and the gift shops/restaurants have lots of goods. A good way to spend 2-3 hours :)
The place is meticulously built. Would be great in winter. The history and origin of the biscuits are awesome to go through. Great care was taken to build the place into a magical experience.
The kids went through the biscuit decoration workshop and enjoyed it thoroughly. There was also an XL version of the biscuit that is exclusively found there. Check it out!
If you know the famous shiroi koibito chocolates, and if you are near Sapporo, then this is a must visit. Though to make your trip magical, note these. Firstly come during winter. This is incomplete without snow. Secondly, come at night. All of the displays has fairy lights including all the decor adorning the park and the castle. In the day, none of them light up. Thirdly, being kids. This park has mini displays and tiny candy houses meant for kids to play and take pictures with. If you don't have kids, borrow some, then come. If you do not wish to visit the chocolate making factory you do not need to buy tickets just visiting the park. Lastly, do shop around the bakery and chocolate store. There are special offerings only available here.
There's parking on site and paid parking nearby.
park/factory for the famous SHIROI KOIBITO white chocolate cookies 白い恋人パーク. I recommend buying tickets online before-hand for a fast and easy entry (a QR code will be emailed to you after online purchase).
I also highly recommend the baking course for the cookies. It’s a fun experience for couples, children, and any family to have 🥳
👉Noteworthy detail: Despite it’s name, the baking course involves decorating a large cookie with colored white-chocolate pens. You DON’T actually bake or mix any mixtures. HOWEVER, it is still a fun experience.
- The rose garden is so pretty. It’s really amazing for photos.
- I also really enjoyed the cream puffs sold inside in the cafe across from the souvenir store.
- There is a food truck outside selling ice cream and several drinks.
- European-vibes and beautifully decorated both inside and outside.
