🗺️ Kikyo Shingen Mochi Themed Tourist Factory桔梗信玄餅工場テーマパーク

At the Kikyōya theme factory, which produces and sells Yamanashi Prefecture's representative confectionery "Kikyō Shingen Mochi," visitors can observe the production process of Kikyō Shingen Mochi. The process of quickly and carefully packaging each piece by hand is definitely not to be missed. Equally popular as the factory tour is the opportunity to fill up on wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) starting early in the morning. You can decide how much Kikyō Shingen Mochi to pack into a special plastic bag, and for just 220 yen, you can get a bag full, making it a great deal. Additionally, there are some near-expiry items or products that are misshapen, which are sold at a special price in a corner for employees. Furthermore, Kikyōya's popular products are lined up, making them perfect as souvenirs. In the café within the theme factory, there is a selection of freshly made desserts that can only be tasted here, such as "Kikyō Shingen Ice Cream+" and "Kikyō Shingen Manju," which feature Kikyō Shingen Mochi and Kikyō Shingen Bars. Seasonal limited desserts like black sugar soybean flour latte with Kikyō Shingen Mochi and shaved ice made with natural water are also worth trying. With factory tours, dessert tastings, and the chance to fill up on wagashi, it's a theme factory where the whole family can enjoy a full day of fun.

Since its inception, the handcrafted packaging method has never changed. You can take home wagashi at a discounted price. The factory sells freshly made wagashi such as Kikkō Shingen Mochi Ice Cream and Kikkō Shingen Manju.
