6 Days 5 Nights Hokkaido Trip (Day 2) - Sapporo 札幌

Second day in Sapporo. We having home cook big breakfast at home stay. All the ingredient we bought from the opposite Lucky Market and the coffee tea bag provided by the host. 
After breakfast we take taxi heading to the first stop Shiroi Koibito Park(白色恋人公园). 
Shiroi Koibito Park (白い恋人パーク) is a theme park by Ishiya, a local chocolate company. The company's flagship product is the Shiroi Koibito cookie, which consists of two thin butter cookies and a layer of white chocolate in between. It is one of the most famous souvenirs from Hokkaido.
The park consists of a free area with a shop, cafe and restaurant and a paid area with various chocolate related exhibits and, most interestingly, a few large windows through which visitors can observe the cookie production process in the factory. It is also possible to create your own cookies in hands-on workshops. Another part of the Shiroi Koibito Park is a soccer field that serves as the practice ground for Consadole Sapporo, the local J-League soccer team.
But unlucky that, some of the area under construction, we cant access it and we only enjoy take photo at the park area. Although we only taking photo at outside but only good enough for us.
