Good morning and Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!
Morning dew.. on my window
Admiring the view and doing my itinerary planning for the day
Looks cold today..
Breakfast is not included this time. (Can you believe it… ) So we went to Lotteria for breakfast
After breakfast, we proceed with our first visit of the day - Ishiya choc factory! They produce the famous Shiroi Koibito (白い恋人). My first time visiting a choc factory, very ‘willy wonka’ lol..
At the train station, follow this big sign. We actually missed this sign.. haha…
The Chocolote Factory.. Looks cool.. This is the staff entrance. Not for visitors.. lol..
I love their signboard. Looks cool..
Feel like I’m in some anime world..it’s unreal.. lol

The ticket is in the form of a passport and it comes with complimentary Shiroi Koibito biscuit. So cool ~~~
