Product Info

Registered as a Hokkaido Heritage site, 'Ebetsu Bricks' once accounted for approximately 50% of Japan's total brick production at its peak.
They have been used in the restoration of the Former Hokkaido Government Office (Red Brick Office) and parts of the Hokkaido Ballpark F Village.
Since the factory is not in operation during winter, you can enjoy a special experience.
Not only will you tour one of Japan's leading brick factories, but you will also get to assemble a kiln using special bricks and grill local Ebetsu ingredients with your own hands.
Enjoy a moment to feel the 130-year history of brickmaking and the 'warmth' of winter in Hokkaido.
