Hey everyone, it\u2019s Matt from Still as Life, and I\u2019m super excited to share this amazing place with you! In all honesty, it is my absolute favourite place in Sapporo<\/a> on Japan<\/a>\u2019s northern island of Hokkaido<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever felt like you were Charlie in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory? If so, where? Let me know in the comments at the end of this page, I’d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Shiroi Koibito Park and Ishiya Chocolate Factory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shiroi Koibito Park and Ishiya Chocolate Factory are located in the north-west suburbs of Sapporo<\/a>, the largest city in Hokkaido<\/a>, Japan<\/a>. It can be a little confusing to get to though because it goes by two names which vary depending on what you read or who you speak to. To be honest, I’m still confused. The signage at the factory calls it Ishiya Chocolate Factory, as does some of the material you are given if you take the self-guided museum tour. However, you won’t find it on TripAdvisor<\/a> under Ishiya Chocolate Factory, TripAdvisor<\/a> lists it as Shiroi Koibito Park, the same name used for the official website. My assumption is that since Shiroi Koibito is actually the flagship cookie product made by Ishiya, the factory and surrounding park have become known as Shiroi Koibito Park. So what does this have to do with getting there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting there by car<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, if you are driving there, and search on Google Maps for Shiroi Koibito Park, even though that appears to be the official name for it, you won’t find it. You need to search for Ishiya Chocolate Factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
