ROYCE' CACAO&CHOCOLATE TOWN — Local services in Tobetsu

I’m not a HUGE fan of chocolate but I love Royce products and this chocolate town really impressed me!

I think it would impress adults and kids alike.

Very informative Very interactive And you can tell that a lot of thoughts and consideration went into making the whole experience so wholesome and fun!

There is a game station after all the exhibit.

It’s the best “museum” experience I’ve had after a very long time. And I learnt a lot about chocolate making experience!

The entrance fee is quite affordable at around 10+ SGD

You start from level 3 then you slowly go down to level 2 and 1. You’ll end the whole experience at the Royce store where you can buy the special items for that store which is the chocolate soft serve and hot chocolate drink.

Outside of the factory there is a beautiful rose garden where you can enjoy the flowers and sit around sipping your chocolate.

Free shuttle from Royce town train station to the factory is available (both ways) with high frequency so that you don’t need to walk between the two places.

A factory tour is not guided by an explanatory staff member, but visitors walk through at their own pace according to a route. Therefore, the pre-booked times are only a guide, and you can enter without worrying about a little back and forth. There are lockers behind the shop and space for large bags with a wire key.

It takes at least one hour, and if you take part in the chocolate-making process, you will need about two hours. If you try all the experiences, you'll have a full half-day of fun... There is a free shuttle bus from Lloydstown station, but considering the waiting time, walking there is likely to make no difference to your arrival (the factory is visible from the station). The shop has a range of bread and alcohol, and of course, factory exclusive products. The shop does not require a reservation and...

Absolutely a must-go spot in Sapporo!!!

Although the factory is only a 8-min walk away from the JR station, they had a free shuttle bus arranged as an alternative means and it matched the JR's schedule. Besides, the factory is surrounded by a beautiful rose garden and everything inside was clean and new.

The tour experience itself was amazing as well! Not only was it educational, games and photo spots included also made it fun. On top of those, the art exhibition inside was unexpectedly interesting.

For the food, you could not go wrong with anything inside, from ice-cream, chocolate drink to bakery and dessert, all were incredibly delicious!

One note for tourists is that this shop doesn't offer tax refund services. But still, the freshly made products and the factory limited editions were worthy of spending a...
