【Meibei Snow Park】
Located near Sapporo, Hokkaido, this snow park transforms into a golf course in the summer and a snow wonderland in the winter when it's covered in thick snow. Adults and children alike can enjoy snowball fights, building snowmen, playing in snowballs, snow biking, and playing in snow-covered donuts. Alternatively, you can enjoy other snow activities at your own expense, such as mini snowmobiles, snowmobiles, ATVs, and snow rafts.

Otaru Aquarium
Otaru Aquarium is widely known as Japan's first aquarium where visitors can see porpoises. It consists of two main areas: the main building and the Marine Mammal Park. The aquarium displays over 5,000 rare creatures of approximately 250 species, including the world's largest North Pacific octopus (over 5 meters long), bioluminescent sea butterflies, and the near-threatened Arctic salamander. From the entertaining dolphin shows to the seals' feeding time, these are must-see attractions. Visitors can also witness penguins taking a walk in the snow, ensuring a fun-filled experience for both adults and children.
*This tour does not include admission to the Otaru Aquarium; please arrange your own admission.
※Otaru Aquarium will be closed from February 24, 2027 to mid-March.
During the closure of Otaru Aquarium, we will only allow visitors to Otaru Shopping Street. We apologize for any inconvenience.

[Stroll and enjoy the street scenes of Otaru]
After walking straight along Sakaimachi Street for about 10-15 minutes, you'll arrive at an area with nostalgic buildings dating back to the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods, where you can soak up the vintage atmosphere! This area is known as the "Wall Street of the North." When talking about representative shops in this area, Kitaichi Glass is a must-mention. Using warehouses from the Hokkaido development era as its premises, it's divided into sections such as the Glass Gallery, the Glass Outlet Center, and the Crystal Gallery. In the dimly lit warehouse, the glass and crystal sparkle beautifully, creating a dreamlike space. In addition, Sakaimachi Street also features various general stores and cafes built within historical buildings, offering many interesting and unique shops.

Otaru Canal
The Otaru Canal, completed in 1923 (Taisho 12), is the only canal in Japan built on reclaimed land rather than through inland excavation. At 1140 meters long, it supported the development of Otaru, a port city that flourished from the Meiji to the Taisho eras, serving as a gateway to northern Hokkaido. Along the canal, a symbol of the port's prosperity, are many old warehouses, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the past.

Shiroi Koibito Park
Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) is a well-known souvenir brand in Hokkaido, and its factory is one of Sapporo's most popular and representative attractions. From the history of chocolate to precious art collections, visitors can also preview the process of making Shiroi Koibito chocolate. Besides experiencing snack making, touring the factory, and learning about chocolate history, the charm of Shiroi Koibito Park extends beyond the indoor areas. The outdoor areas are also well worth exploring, featuring a rose garden in early summer, colorful flowers, and shops selling "Shiroi Koibito" ice cream.
*This itinerary does not include a factory tour ticket at the Shiroi Koibito Factory.
*Shiroi Koibito Park will be closed from January 1st to January 2nd, 2027. During this period, you will need to spend more time at other attractions.
