Shiroi Koibito Park
Shiroi Koibito is a well-known brand of sweets in Hokkaido. At Shiroi Koibito Park, you can tour the production line, learn the history of chocolate from the display, and create your own Shiroi Koibito snack.
The moment you walk in, it feels super dreamy—like you’re literally in a fairy tale.
You’re definitely going to buy souvenirs here. My wallet didn’t stand a chance.
Shinagawa Aquarium
Opened in 1991 inside Shinagawa Kumin Park, which sits right next to the canal, this aquarium is themed around “Connecting with the Sea and Rivers.” It features around 4,000 sea creatures from approx 450 species. Through shows and seasonal events, you can get up close with the fish, observe them, and learn more about their world.
The jellyfish area is really beautiful—you kind of zone out just watching it.
The dolphin show felt like they put real effort into it. Kids will definitely be super excited.
