I had an amazing day in Hiruzen Kogen Center! We didn’t see much snow in the Okayama city so it’s definitely a great place to make a day-trip for a snowy day vacation if you happen to be in the prefecture~
The jingisukan was very delicious 🥹🤤They serve halal-certified lamb for the barbecue so it’s very muslim-friendly and even delicious salt & pepper mix for people who can’t consume the sauce because it contains mirin.
The ice cream making experience was also very fun! I had never made handmade ice cream before and I find the ball-rolling method a very interesting way to make the ice cream, kids love it very much too~
It’s February so we were able to participate in the annual “Yuki Koi Snow Festival” and tried making miniature snow igloos by ourselves. I have never tried it before so I’m not good at making them but they even provide tools that we can use to decorate them, other people also made things like snow sculpture and snowman, it looks very cool! They also offers candle in the afternoon to insert in the snow igloos so people can enjoy beautiful snow illumination when the sun is setting~
There are also many food stalls that sells things like croquettes and fries and soft cream made using the infamous Hiruzen jersey milk which tastes very delicious 💕
I also really love the taste of the Hiruzen jersey milk cheese cake and jingisukan curry that I bought as souvenirs (many of the souvenirs also use halal ingredients, for those who are interested in buying them). I would definitely visit this place again someday if I have the chance~
Alhamdulillah,
One of the options that can be used for a vacation with family, there is certified lamb barbecue and typical chocolate snacks from the city. In addition, you can play free slides and of course play snow.
The entrance ticket is 800yen, free pass ticket are 3900yen for adult/3300yen for children. There are many interesting games that both adults and children can enjoy so I recommend to buy free pass ticket. Dont forget to get through the thrilling house, very interesting
Had the most amazing time in Hiruzen, Okayama with my family! We indulged in the most delicious halal lamb paired with fresh vegetables. Then, we got hands-on and learned how to make ice cream in a ball – so fun! After filling up the ball, we played and even danced with it together!
Next, we took advantage of the winter wonderland there to build an igloo and slide through the snow. As the evening fell, we lit candles inside the igloos, creating the most magical illumination. And of course, we couldn’t leave without picking up some tasty snacks at the souvenir shop!
Unforgettable memories made here in Hiruzen!
