Shiroi Koibito Park Hokkaido Cookie Baking Class for Adults and Children:
- Bright and clean venue, professional and patient instructors.
- Children can make their own cookies and fill the air with laughter, while adults can also enjoy sweet moments.
- The cookies are crispy, fragrant, and sweet, with a delicate melt-in-your-mouth cream chocolate filling.
- The process is safe and fun, with a warm and pleasant atmosphere for parent-child interaction. - Five-star recommendation for the driver pick-up service! Professional and punctual, the car is clean and comfortable, the driver is friendly and polite, and the route is familiar and avoids traffic jams. A safe and enjoyable journey. No walking, no tiredness, no need to find your way, suitable for lazy families with children. A must-choose for the next trip!

I feel it is a way to experience Japanese culture by wearing a kimono. The costume made me walk more ladylike and the costume is really pretty. The kimono is made of silk and feel very smooth and comfortable when wearing it. With the backdrop at Otaru Canal, it sure will make a nice picture for you to keep and remember.

Such a lovely wagashi class. Beautiful craftsmanship and a very peaceful atmosphere. The host was warm, friendly, and very helpful throughout the session. Making wagashi by hand really makes you appreciate the artistry behind each piece. Highly recommend if you’re curious about Japanese culture and traditional sweets.

Perfect experience!! We met Kai, a caring instructor full of enthusiasm. Although I had played a few times at an indoor ski resort before, I hadn't mastered it very well. For my first time skiing outdoors, I decided to hire an instructor. Kai taught me carefully and clearly. He knew we were old bones with injuries, so he took special care of us. After two days of training, under Kai's guidance, we took the first cable car ride and he explained the route down very clearly. Overall, this experience was super great. If I have the opportunity to come again, I will definitely find an instructor to strengthen my skills. Thank you, instructor Kai.

As first time skiers, this was truly a great experience for myself and my family. The tour was well organised, all in one package, and our English speaking instructor, Soso, was excellent. She was very helpful and so patient. She gave careful instructions and good hints while being so attentive with each of us. There was only 8 of us in a group, another family of 4, so being such a small group made it so much fun and easier to learn.
I highly recommend this day ski tour especially for beginners and will use again on our next trip.

Bus for pick up is on time and comfortable. When we arrived at the snow mobile park, they will check your registration and issue winter jacket, pants, shoes, helmet and hand gloves. Briefing will be done by instructor and each instructor will take about 4 people which is good and they are able to take care of our safety. they will stop at 2 places for us to take pictures. Overall, it’s really fun and a great experience! Good activity for those that can’t ski or scared to try skiing like me to do snow mobile! the picture with 2 rider is just for photo taking only… we need to ride our own mobile🤣

What to know before visiting Hokkaido
Top Attractions in Hokkaido
Sapporo Snow Festival
If you visit Hokkaido in February, you can see giant ice and snow sculptures at the famous Sapporo Snow Festival. It’s one of Japan’s biggest winter events and turns the city into a winter wonderland filled with ice sculptures, music, food stalls, and fun activities.
Niseko Ski Resort
In Hokkaido, Niseko is the best place for skiing and snowboarding. You’ll love the soft powder snow, beautiful mountain views, and cozy hot springs after a day on the slopes.
Furano Flower Fields
During summer, Hokkaido’s Furano area turns into a rainbow of colors with lavender, cherry blossoms, and flower fields. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a relaxing walk through nature.
Otaru Canal
In the coastal town of Otaru, you can walk along the charming Otaru Canal lined with old warehouses and soft lantern lights at night. It’s especially romantic in winter when covered with snow.
Shirogane Blue Pond (Biei)
You’ll be amazed by the bright turquoise water of the Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido. It changes color with the light and looks stunning in every season.
Noboribetsu Onsen
For relaxation, visit Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido’s most famous hot spring town. You can soak in mineral-rich baths and explore “Hell Valley,” a volcanic area with steaming vents and bubbling pools.
Tips before visiting Hokkaido
1. Dress for the season
Winters in Hokkaido are long, cold, and snowy, so pack layers, thermal wear, and waterproof boots to stay warm. Summers are mild but can still be cool at night, especially in the mountains.
2. Try local food
Hokkaido is famous for its fresh seafood, rich ramen, and creamy dairy products. Be sure to visit local markets or food stalls to taste specialties like crab, sea urchin, and soft-serve ice cream.
3. Use the JR Pass
The JR Hokkaido Rail Pass makes traveling between cities like Sapporo, Otaru, and Hakodate affordable and easy. It’s a great way to see scenic routes without worrying about car rentals or snow driving.
4. Book early in winter
Ski resorts like Niseko, Furano, and Rusutsu get fully booked months in advance during the snow season. Plan ahead for accommodations, lift passes, and transport to secure the best deals.
