- Attraction Introduction -
White Lover
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, including a rose garden blooming in early summer, colorful flowers, and shops selling "Shiroi Koibito" ice cream. *Factory tour admission is not included in the Shiroi Koibito factory visit.
【Otaru】
Strolling through Otaru, you'll see white cruise ships sailing slowly through the shimmering water, Otaru Harbor quietly telling the story of Hokkaido's four seasons. The Miffy and Hello Kitty dessert cafes on street corners will melt your heart! And when you step into the romantic Music Box Museum, you'll hear ballerinas, animals, and a carousel dancing to the melodies—it's like entering a miniature fairytale world. Savor fresh seafood; every bite is a gift from the sea, the flavors of the ocean bursting on your tongue!
Otaru Canal
Stroll along the Otaru Canal and experience the charm of this historic waterway built in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canals are lined with old warehouses, exuding a nostalgic atmosphere. It's as if you've traveled back to the glorious Meiji and Taisho eras, experiencing the romance and historical atmosphere of this Hokkaido port city!
【Rihe Mountain Lighthouse】
Hiyoriyama Lighthouse, a popular photo spot on the Otaru coast, stands atop Cape Takashima, its red and white lights reflecting against the azure Sea of Japan. From this coastal high point, one can enjoy panoramic views of the boundless sea and undulating coastline. A gentle sea breeze blows, and the scenery is expansive and refreshing, making it a popular spot for appreciating the stunning views of the Otaru coast and taking memorable photos.
Dingshan Creek
Step into Jozankei Onsen, nestled amidst mountains, and take a leisurely stroll through Futami Park. Cross the iconic Futami Suspension Bridge and overlook the clear stream flowing gently through the valley. Walk along the valley trail, listening to the babbling water, surrounded by forests and mountains. Each season presents a different natural beauty, allowing you to experience the unique tranquility and healing atmosphere of Hokkaido's valley hot springs.
* A complimentary outdoor foot bath is available for guests' use. It is recommended to bring your own towel for convenience.
【Mount Moiwa】
Mount Moiwa, located near the center of Sapporo, is one of Hokkaido's three best night views. Taking the cable car to the summit, Sapporo's lights unfold like a sea of stars. Standing on the 360-degree observation deck, the entire city unfolds before your eyes, with streetlights weaving into a dazzling sea of light, and Ishikari Bay shimmering in the distance. Whether for a romantic date or a stopover during your travels, this is a romantic night view not to be missed.

FAQ
From central Sapporo, you can take the Sapporo Streetcar (tram) from Susukino or Odori to the 'Ropeway Iriguchi' station. From there, it's a short walk to the Moiwayama Ropeway station. Alternatively, a free shuttle bus operates from the base of Mt. Moiwa to the ropeway station. The ropeway and a connecting mini-cable car will then transport you to the observation deck for the stunning night views.
While private cars can reach the base of Mt. Moiwa, direct vehicle access to the summit for the observation deck is restricted. Visitors typically use the Moiwayama Ropeway and the subsequent mini-cable car (Morris Car) from the mid-station to reach the summit. There are parking facilities available at the base ropeway station for private vehicles. Public transportation options via the Sapporo Streetcar are also convenient.
The Moiwayama Ropeway ride from the base station to the mid-station takes approximately 5 minutes. From the mid-station, you transfer to the mini-cable car, known as the Morris Car, which takes another 2 minutes to reach the summit observation deck. The total travel time on both the ropeway and mini-cable car is roughly 7 minutes, offering scenic views along the way.
There are several hiking trails leading to the summit of Mt. Moiwa, varying in difficulty and length. Typically, a hike to the observation deck can take approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your chosen route and fitness level. It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear and check trail conditions, especially outside of the warmer months, as some trails may be closed seasonally.
To thoroughly experience Shiroi Koibito Park, including exploring the confectionery factory production line, enjoying the seasonal rose garden, visiting the toy collection, and perhaps participating in a cookie-making workshop, it is recommended to allocate approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This allows ample time to appreciate the various themed areas and activities at a comfortable pace.
Shiroi Koibito Park offers a unique and delightful experience by blending confectionery history with charming European-style architecture. Visitors can observe the famous Shiroi Koibito cookies being made, create their own original cookies, and explore whimsical themed areas, including a beautiful rose garden and an antique toy museum. It's a charming destination that appeals to all ages.
Shiroi Koibito Park generally operates daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with last admission around 4:00 PM. Operating hours can vary during peak seasons or for special events. While it is typically open on most public holidays, it is always advisable to check the official website for the most current information regarding specific holiday schedules or any temporary closures before planning your visit.
Shiroi Koibito Park is situated in the western part of Sapporo. While it is a significant attraction in itself, the surrounding area is primarily residential. For those interested in sports history, the Sapporo Teine Olympic Museum is a short distance away. The park is well-connected to central Sapporo via subway, making it easy to combine a visit with other city attractions.
