Tour the Factory and Try Fresh Mentaiko and Mentaiko Soft Serve
About this spot
A free-entry theme park operated by Kanefuku, a long-established mentaiko maker. Watch the mentaiko manufacturing process through glass, and sample freshly made mentaiko at the direct sales shop. The signature mentaiko soft-serve ice cream and oversized rice balls are perfect for food-tasting. With plenty of exhibits and photo spots for children, it's a delightful option even on rainy days.
Tips
Admission and factory tours are free with no reservation required. Strollers are welcome; the food corner can get busy during lunch rush, so visiting slightly off-peak hours makes for a more comfortable experience.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour. On weekends at midday, parking can be crowded, so early afternoon is a safer bet.
