Flow of the course

About this spot

A complex in Higashinopporocho, Ebetsu, that makes use of the buildings of a former brick factory. The weathered red-brick walls and high ceilings have been left as they were, so simply entering the building lets you feel the town's history with your whole body. Inside are restaurants and shops handling local ingredients, where you can meet flavours unique to this land, such as bread and noodles made with wheat grown in Ebetsu. There are benches on the plaza side too, so on fine days you can take a break in the open air. Nopporo Green Mall is only a few minutes away by car, which makes it convenient to get ready and head straight there.

Tips

Business hours and regular holidays differ from shop to shop, so checking before you set out is reassuring. It gets crowded around noon on weekends, so arriving between 11 and 12 makes it easier to get a seat. Buying drinks and snacks here saves trouble during the afternoon water play. There is a car park, making it easy to stop by by car.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. You can spend the sunniest part of midday indoors.
