About Chibori Sweets Factory
If you've been given a tin of assorted Japanese cookies with a girl in a red hat on the lid, it probably came from here. Chibori makes more than 80 kinds of cookies at its Yugawara factory.
Upstairs you can watch the production line. Downstairs there's a shop, a café with Yugawara mandarin cream puffs and pudding, a 60-minute cookie buffet with a drink, and a cookie-decorating class for children (book ahead).
