## Attraction Introduction
### 9:15am-9:45am Hokkaido Shrine (Sightseeing on site for 30 minutes)
Hokkaido Shrine is one of the most representative Shinto shrines in Sapporo. Its main gate faces northeast specially to meet the needs of development and defense in that era, bearing unique historical significance. You may prepare a 5-yen coin when coming to worship! The Japanese pronunciation of "5 yen" is homophonic to "destined connection", which implies "wish fulfillment" with interesting and meaningful connotations. Leave your wishes at the shrine and bring good fortune home!
### 10:05am-10:55am Shiroi Koibito Park (Sightseeing on site for 50 minutes)
Themed on Hokkaido's famous white chocolate, Shiroi Koibito Park allows visitors to tour the chocolate factory and make chocolate cookies by hand. The park features beautiful red-brick buildings and an animated clock tower, where a "Chocolate Carnival" is held every hour on the hour. In addition, there is the colorful fountain "Aurora Spring" and the "Chocolate Time Tunnel" for you to learn about the history of chocolate.
### 11:10am-12:20pm Sapporo Outer Market (Free dining and sightseeing for 70 minutes)

### 12:35pm-13:15pm Sapporo Beer Museum (Sightseeing on site for 40 minutes)
As one of Japan's time-honored beer brands, Sapporo Beer Museum is a must-visit spot for beer lovers.
