The education part of the park was actually when you enter the factory viewing area. It is actually on the 2nd floor, and from there you can view the whole production line from a viewing area. The production line is actually at the ground floor.
So from station to station you can see how these famous biscuits are made. It starts from when the biscuits come out from the oven and move along the line to cool. The quality inspection personnel will be all eyes on those biscuit and actually remove those that are too burned, or under burned, or look funny I guess. No wonder those biscuits are so expensive! A number of them actually ended up in the trash before you get your perfect box of biscuits!
From the viewing area, there are audio and signs explaining everything that is happening at the production line. We stayed there quite a while, just watching those biscuits being made. I was amazed that it took so little humans to actually run such a big factory. So basically we are watching a machine making all these little biscuits. Technology!
This place was definitely more 'real' than the Royce Chocolate World that we visited in the Chitose Airport. It was for one, in a larger scale.
Although the whole factory floor was all machinery and men in clean wear, you can see from the photos above and the one below that the walls on the 2nd floor were all decorated like story books. So although it was a factory, they also kinda introduce an element of child like wonder into the whole place. Every child dream of visiting and staying in a chocolate factory, right? Well, this is my childhood dream come true :)
