## Three minutes from Yugawara Station — a strong "detour" location

"Chibori Yugawara Sweets Factory" sits a mere **3 minutes on foot from JR Yugawara Station**. The "**TIVOLI**" sign is visible right after exiting the station, so you don't even need Google Maps — you arrive without getting lost. A great side-quest when you're in Yugawara for the hot springs and realize you have a gap before your train. An excellent **detour slot** in a tourism itinerary.

## Cookie buffet (¥660 / 60 min) + 1 drink

The centerpiece is the **cookie buffet**. **¥660 (tax incl.) for 60 minutes of all-you-can-eat cookies + one drink** — a setup that looks like over-service when you first read it. The cookies available change daily, with **about 8 kinds** at a time, each with different textures and flavor directions. Personally, the right routing is "first lap for all varieties to learn the palette, then second-lap refills of favorites."

Pair it with the local **Yugawara mikan juice** and the regional feeling goes up a notch. A nice route for "light snack after breakfast" if you've stayed overnight at the hot springs.

## Icing-cookie workshop (¥1,000 / 45 min, reservation required)
There's also an experience program: "**Drawing Cookie Experience**" at **¥1,000 (tax incl.) for 45 minutes** — decorate Chibori's cookies with sugar pens however you like. Reservation required. Both kids and adults can engage, and it works well for families, friends, or couples.

You can **take your creations home** — a souvenir that doubles as a completed project. Some people will decorate them so nicely they can't bring themselves to eat them. True to the facility's "happiness through sweets" theme, whether you took the buffet or the workshop, everyone walks out of here with a softer face than when they came in.
