Tsuboya Sohonten Kibana no Mori

Located about 10 minutes by car from JR Asahikawa Station, "Kibana no Mori" is a concept shop with a strong local color under the theme of "more Asahikawa-like" by Tsuboya Sohonten. The buildings made of a lot of wood and chairs from Asahikawa Furniture reflect Asahikawa's long-standing tradition of furniture and craft making. The factory of the famous confectionery "Kibana" is open to the public, and it is a place where you can spend time in a variety of ways, such as factory tours and making sweets in the Cook Lab. The garden of about 1,000 tsubo spreads out, and you can stroll around while enjoying the flowers of the four seasons. In the store, they sell not only standard products from Tsuboya, but also sweets developed with local customers and limited edition items only available at this store. There are sweets that can only be tasted here, such as sweets limited to the workshop, apple pie from the kiln, and silk soft from the forest. At the attached "CAFE Bunran", you can enjoy a special cake and coffee at the café overlooking the garden, and you can read a book at your leisure. In addition, there is a flower shop and craft shop, where you can purchase Asahikawa craft works and fresh flowers. It is a special experiential spot where you can enjoy not only sweets but also Asahikawa's culture and nature with all five senses.
