Shiroi Koibito Park Part 2



Sorry for the late post everyone! Currently in Kyoto with my family so I haven't had access to a computer until today. I'll try and schedule other posts to upload this week though. Here's part two of Shiroi Koibito Park :) Admission fee for the factory tour is 600 yen and you can explore the various rooms at your own pace. I really enjoyed walking through the building and reading about various exhibits--many of them were quite interesting! 

The Aurora Fountain was the first room that I walked through after entering the building. Definitely not something you would expect to see in a chocolate factory!

Next was the Stained-Glass Room and although it wasn't very large, it was still very colorful, especially the ceiling!





After that was a Chocolate Box room which displayed various chocolate boxes that were used back in the day. They had labels that informed visitors when the box was used and where it was made.

You could see the production line of how the famous Shiroi Koibito cookies were made through these large glass windows :) 





And there was a Chocolate Lounge towards the end of the tour! Just pick a seat and choose what dessert from the factory you wanted to eat (I'll make a post for this one)




A Gramophone Gallery! I haven't really seen them up close before, so it was very interesting to see the various types and sizes in one room. 



Downstairs was the free area (no need to pay to get in) where several shops were, including...

These large chairs!!! I wish someone was sitting in them because they were quite big! I would love to have one of these :)

Another local candy company whose shop was located on the ground floor inside Tudor House. 

Like the tour, you could watch the workers create batches of candy through large, glass windows. 


Finished product!


Really liked the packaging, but I really don't know if they intentionally spelled "camdy" like that..


Long line for the ice cream. It was Hokkaido ice cream, but made with the Shiroi Koibito white chocolate :) 


Thank you so much for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful week! :)
