Hokkaido Abutagunkucchanchou Kitaichijounishi 3

This sweet shop in Kutchan Town is committed to local Hokkaido ingredients. It's the fourth building down from Kutchan Station, and you can spot it with its cute ornament of soft serve ice cream cone out front. Their most popular item is fresh baked cream puffs available in limited quantities. If you want to try them while they're still crispy, we recommend buying within an hour of being baked. Refrigeration is required, and they must be eaten the same day. Other popular items include tofu chiffon with a cute face on it, Hangetsu Lake themed cookies (at the base of Mt. Yotei), custard pie, and more. The shop has many items only available there.

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
