4- hour tour of the Hokkaido famous "Shiroi Koibito" confectionery theme park/factory, Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium, and Sapporo's kitchen, the "Central Wholesale Market."

This course is operated with a multilingual audio system that provides explanations in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. All of the sights will be introduced within a short time. First we will visit “Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium.”
The bus will head for Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium. The ski jump stadium here is said to be the prince of all sports. It is said that the Baron Okura Kishichro heard the voice of the late Chichibu Prince, and commissioned the architectural design of the ski jump to Major General Olaf Helset of Norway. Numerous competitions have been held here and have contributed to the nurturing of many athletes. However, the ski jump was renovated in 1970 in preparation for the Winter Olympics which were to be held two years later, and became the stage for the 11th Sapporo Winter Olympics 90-meter ski jump venue. From the observation deck located at an elevation of 307 meters, the approach to the jump (runway), and the entire city of Sapporo and Ishikari Plains can be seen.
Once we leave the Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium, we will head to the Shiroi Koibito Park. At the Shiroi Koibito Park, you will be able to view the production line of the “”chocolate factory,”" the “”tudor houses”" of medieval Great Britain. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sapporo. Next door is the “”Miyanosawa Shiroi Koibito Soccer Field,”" home field of the Sapporo Consadole Soccer Team, and visitors can sneak peeks of their practice, or check out the “”Consadole Sapporo Collection House.”" After our visit at Shiroi Koibito Park, we will go to the Central Sapporo Wholesale Market.
