THE MAKING OF REAL GOOD CHOCOLATE ROYCE' was founded in Sapporo in 1983. Through acquiring the best techniques and enriching our experience, we can make chocolate of world-class quality in Hokkaido where the climate and the clean air are ideal for making confections. The fundamental principle of Royce' has been and will always be the painstaking sourcing of high-quality ingredients. Because of increasing demand, over time Royce' began taking telephone orders from customers from outside of Hokkaido. Customers' names and addresses were recorded by hand and their orders were sent one by one from our factory. That was the beginning of our mail-order system. When we started to bake cookies at a small factory, the smell of fresh-baked sweets tempted and attracted the neighbors. A table was put in front of the factory and cookies were sold. That was the beginning of the direct management stores. Looking back, the history of Royce' has been based upon the support of many people. Today Royce's chocolate is enjoyed not only by the locals of Hokkaido but by chocolate lovers from all across the world. We will continue to make world-class chocolate by observing our fundamental principles and pressing forward with our challenging creative spirit. Access to the production line is strictly controlled. Before entering the production line area, everyone is required to wear factory-issued uniforms and shoes before passing through a specialized air tunnel to remove dust. Adhesive tape rollers are then used to ensure that no dust remains on the clothes. Finally, hands are carefully washed and disinfected. No one may proceed to the production line until they have fully completed this process. By taking these measures, we are confident of offering our customers products of the highest quality and hygiene. At Royce', it is our policy to respond continuously to customers' requests and produce confectionery with uncompromising standards. Royce' has become a member of the World Cocoa

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 and one of Hokkaido's most famous souvenirs is the Shiroi Koibito cookie, which consists of two thin butter cookies and a layer of white chocolate in between. 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 professional soccer team. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #japan #japanese #japanlife #japantrip #japanfood #japantravel #japanesefood #JapaneseCuisine #hokkaido #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #HokkaidoJapan #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidolikers #hokkaido_love #hokkaidofood #hokkaidolove #hokkaidosgram #sapporo #sapporofood #sapporocafe #shiroikoibito #shiroikoibitopark #shiroikoibito #shiroikoibitochocolate

Designed by top Japanese architect Tadao Ando, this photogenic Buddha statue in a hall exudes spirituality. In keeping with Ando’s mindset that “our imagination is piqued by what we cannot see,” only the head is visible from a distance, prompting you to spend your trip to the site imagining what the rest might look like. Your appetite is whet with other sensory experiences along the way, including a water garden and a 40m tunnel that amplifies the sound of your footsteps. Finally, you reach a roofless hall where the 13.5m high Buddha looms over you with a snippet of the sky above. This ethereal sight isn’t one you’ll forget easily. The best time to see this work of art is around July when 150,000 lavender flowers create a purple carpet over the hills around the statue. A special walking track is open during this time, allowing you to walk up the hill until you are looking the Buddha in the face. While you’re here, you can participate in Japanese spiritual practices—write a wish on a wooden placard called an ema, find out your fortune by taking a slip of paper called an omikuji, and make message lighting to express a wish. After your visit, take a moment to rest in the café in the hall. The Hill of the Buddha is in Makomanai Takino Cemetery. With parks and walking trails set up, this 180-ha cemetery is as much for celebrating life as it is for mourning the dead. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #japan #japanese #japanlife #japantrip #japantravel #japanesefood #japaneseculture #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaido_love #hokkaidolikers #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidofood #hokkaidosgram #sapporo #sapporofood #sapporocafe #hillofthebudda #makomanai

07.21.2024 Kokoro no Sato Jozan footbath & lounge 札幌市心の里 定山 4 Chome-372 Jozankeionsennishi, Minami Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 061-2303, Japan Business hours 10:00am～6:00pm Entrance fee: JPY1500/person (with unlimited drinks and dessert set) Jozankei Onsen (定山渓温泉, Jōzankei Onsen) is located inside Shikotsu-Toya National Park between the high cliffs of the Toyohira River. The town is only one hour outside central Sapporo, making it a popular side trip from the city. As a result, Jozankei is rather developed compared to smaller onsen towns in Hokkaido. The onsen waters of Jozankei were discovered in 1866 and the town now has dozens of ryokan, restaurants, and shops catering to hot spring tourists. Several ryokan offer day visitors entrance to their baths for a typically 500 to 2000 yen fee. Furthermore, free foot baths can be found around town. Besides being an onsen destination, Jozankei is a popular fall color destination when the trees along the valley and in the side valleys turn to brilliant yellows and reds. The best time to see the leaves is usually around mid-October. Iwato Kannondo is a unique temple in central Jozankei, as most of the temple is located in a cave. Built for road workers, who were killed during the construction of a tunnel, the temple's cave is 120 meters long with 33 statues of Kannon, a Buddhist deity of compassion, placed at intervals along the way. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #japan #japanese #japantrip #japantravel #Japanesefood #japanesefood #japanesegarden #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaidolikers #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidolove #hokkaidofood #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidosgram #jozankei #jozankeionsen #jozankeitrip #jozankeisweets

The Clock Tower (時計台, Tokeidai) is a symbol of Sapporo. The building was constructed during the early period of Sapporo's development in 1878 as a Sapporo Agricultural College drill hall. In 1881 a clock purchased from Boston was installed. Today, the Clock Tower is a museum with displays about the building's history and Sapporo on the first floor. On the second floor are displays about the clock and a spacious ceremony hall that calls to mind the simple buildings of the colonial American Midwest. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #japan #japanese #japantrip #japantravel #japanesefood #japanesecuisine #japaneseculture #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaidolikers #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidolove #hokkaidofood #hokkaidosgram #sapporo #sapporofood #sapporoclocktower

Jigokudani (地獄谷) or "Hell Valley" is a spectacular, appropriately named valley just above Noboribetsu Onsen, which displays hot steam vents, sulfurous streams, and other volcanic activity. It is the main source of Noboribetsu's hot spring waters. From there, there are attractive walking trails through the wooded hills above Noboribetsu. Follow them for about 20 to 30 minutes. You will get to Oyunuma, a sulfurous pond with a surface temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, and a smaller, even hotter, mud pond nearby. Flowing out of Oyunuma is a river called Oyunumagawa. Still hot, the river flows through the forest, making for an out-of-this-world sight. It is possible to follow the river for several hundred meters and enjoy a natural foot bath (ashiyu) along the way. The autumn color season in Noboribetsu usually peaks in mid-October, adding further colors to the already spectacular scenery. During winter, some of the walking trails in the hills above the Jigokudani might not always be passable. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #japan #japanese #japantrip #japantravel #japanesefood #japaneseculture #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidolove #noboritbetsu #jigokudani

The Blue Pond (青い池, Aoiike) outside the hot spring town of Shirogane Onsen is named after its deep blue color which it owes to natural minerals dissolved in the water. Not promoted as a tourist spot until recent years, the pond is part of an erosion control system to prevent damage to Biei in case of an eruption by nearby Mount Tokachidake. Besides a parking lot, the pond has not seen much tourism development. It takes visitors 5-10 minutes to walk through the forest to the pond. Around the pond, there is not much to do other than to enjoy the scenery, which also includes some concrete structures of the erosion control system. The pond gets lit up on winter evenings from November to April until 9pm. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #Japan #japanese #japantrip #japanfood #japantravel #japanesefood #japanesecuisine #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaidolove #biei #shiroganebluepond #aoiike

Shirahige Falls is a spectacular waterfall situated 600 meters above sea level in the town of Biei, southeast of Asahikawa. White curtains of water cascading through gaps in the cliff give this natural landmark its name, which means “white beard waterfall.” Shirahige Falls is unusual for a Japanese waterfall in that it flows from an underground river. The waterfall is particularly stunning in the winter when frost-encrusted trees and shimmering icicles showcase the blue ravine below. https://travel-g.net/japan-private-day-trips #Japan #japanese #japantrip #japantravel #japanfood #japanesefood #japaneseculture #japantraveltips #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #hokkaido_lovers #hokkaidosummer #biei #shirahigefalls #shirahigewaterfall
