【Bibai Snow Land】
Located around Sapporo, Hokkaido, this snow park is a golf course in the summer and turns into a snow paradise covered in thick snow during the winter. Adults and children can enjoy snowball fights, building snowmen, bubble balls, snow bikes, and snow tubing. Alternatively, you can pay on-site to experience other snow activities such as mini snowmobiles, snowmobiles, ATVs, and snow rafts.

【Otaru Aquarium】
Otaru Aquarium is well-known for being the first in Japan to exhibit the 'Dall's porpoise'. It consists of two main areas: the Main Building and the Marine Mammal Park. The aquarium houses approximately 250 species and over 5,000 rare creatures, including the world's largest North Pacific giant octopus (over 5 meters long), the glowing 'sea angel' (Clione), and the endangered Ezo salamander. From fun dolphin shows to seal feeding times, there is plenty to see, and you can even watch the 'Penguin Snow Walk', which is a great experience for both adults and children.
※ Admission to Otaru Aquarium is not included in this tour; please cover the cost yourself.
※ Otaru Aquarium is closed from 2028/2/24 to 3/13.
During the closure of Otaru Aquarium, only Plan A (Otaru Shopping Street) will be available. Thank you for your understanding.

【Strolling through Otaru's Streetscape】
Walk straight along Sakaimachi Street for about 10-15 minutes to reach an area filled with nostalgic buildings from the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods, where you can soak up the retro atmosphere! This is the 'Wall Street of the North' area. A representative shop in this area is 'Kitaichi Glass'. Using warehouses from the Hokkaido pioneering era, the shop is divided into areas such as the Glass Museum, Glass Outlet, and Crystal Museum. The dim, atmospheric warehouses create a dreamy space where glass and crystal sparkle beautifully. In addition, Sakaimachi Street is home to various interesting specialty shops, including general stores and cafes housed in historic buildings.

【Otaru Canal】
Completed in 1923, Otaru Canal is the only canal in Japan built by reclaiming land rather than digging inland. Stretching 1,140 meters, it supported Otaru's growth as a port city during the Meiji and Taisho eras, when it flourished as the gateway to the north. The canal, a symbol of the port's prosperity, is lined with old warehouses that evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past.

【Shiroi Koibito Park】
As a famous Hokkaido souvenir brand known to every household, the Shiroi Koibito Factory is one of Sapporo's most popular attractions. From the history of chocolate to precious art collections, you can preview the production process of Shiroi Koibito chocolate. Here, you can not only experience snack making, visit the factory, and learn about the history of chocolate, but the charm of Shiroi Koibito Park extends beyond indoor tours. The outdoors are also well worth exploring, featuring a rose garden that blooms in early summer, colorful flowers, and small shops selling 'Shiroi Koibito' ice cream.
