The easiest way to reach Shiroi Koibito Park is by taking the (orange) Tozai subway line 15 minutes from Odori Station to the line’s western terminus at Miyanosawa Station. From there, you can reach the park within a 10-minute walk. Alternatively, you can take the Chuo bus from Sapporo Station to Nishimachi Kita 20-chome bus stop, less than a 10-minute walk from the park. The bus journey takes 40 minutes.

Shiroi Koibito Park is open daily, year-round, from mid-morning until early evening—aim to arrive close to opening time to avoid the biggest crowds. The park is most magical in winter when a dazzling display of lights illuminates the courtyard—there is no fee to see the light display.

The park is home to a number of eateries. As might be expected, Shiroi Koibito is served in several forms, including soft-serve ice cream, creamy beverages, and beer. Still, visitors can also enjoy such specialties as cheese chicken curry, sweet red bean soup, and Hokkaido corn cream soup.
