Shiroi Koibito Park is a veritable fortress wonderland of chocolate. There’s the Chocolate Factory, where Shiroi Koibito cookies are manufactured; Tudor House, which is a reminiscent of Medieval England; and a field used by Consadole Sapporo, the local pro soccer team.

At the park, visitors can try their hand at making sweets. Visit to see, learn, taste and experience the world of confections.
