Shiroi Koibito Park

by CAO Yiyang

Located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, the Shiroi Koibito Park is a dreamy tourist destination that serves as both the production site and themed attraction for the famous “Shiroi Koibito” cookies. The factory’s European-style architecture, paired with the beauty of Hokkaido’s changing seasons, creates a fairytale-like atmosphere. It draws not only Japanese visitors but also a large number of international tourists.

Inside the park, guests can watch the entire cookie-making process through large glass windows and learn how each piece of Shiroi Koibito is carefully crafted. One of the most popular activities is the "Hand-Decorated Cookie" experience. In a specially designed classroom, visitors can use colorful icing and chocolate pens to draw pictures or write messages on cookies. These creations, whether given as gifts or kept as souvenirs, carry a personal touch and heartfelt creativity.

Beyond the cookie-making area, the park also features a Shiroi Koibito museum, a retro-style candy workshop, and a themed café. The museum displays a variety of historical items related to chocolate and showcases beautifully crafted candy art. As you walk through the park, you’re surrounded by the delightful scent of sweets and an inviting, nostalgic atmosphere.

Shiroi Koibito Park is more than just a cookie factory—it’s a place full of warmth, creativity, and joy. Whether you’re visiting with family, a partner, or friends, the park offers a fun and memorable experience for everyone.
