5 MUST-SEE spots

Shiroi Koibito Park

You will be greeted by a beautiful garden full of more than 200 kinds of roses, from which you will wander into the fairy tale country and experience a sweet and melting experience. Once you step inside the building, you can enjoy “seeing,” “knowing,” “tasting,” and “experiencing” sweets one after another. Why don’t you make a heart-shaped white lover of about 14 cm as a memory of your trip? Both the dough and the sandwiched chocolate use the same ingredients as the actual “Shiroi Koibito”, and you can put an original message on it.

Hakodateyama Observatory

From summer to autumn during the squid fishing season, squid fishing boats add brilliance to the jet-black sea, making it even more fantastic. Recently, the topic is “Hakodate Night View Heart Legend”, where you can find the “heart” hidden in the night view and pray for it to make love. Why don’t you look for a “heart” with your loved one while enjoying the panoramic night view from the mountaintop?
