Before entering the factory, learn about the life of the founder, Toshikazu Ezaki, and how ice cream is made in a short movie.

Now it’s time to go inside the ice cream factory. On this day, two types of Seventeen ice cream were being made.

A yellow machine packs packaged ice cream into boxes one after another.

Beyond the clean room, aging tanks for smoothing out the ice cream batter appear.

In the ice cream filling room, visitors can operate a zoom camera and watch the factory operations on a screen.

After the tour of all the processes, a Papico tasting awaits visitors (for a fee, visitors can also experience making their own ice cream).

The last stop is the Glico store area. Snacks, ice cream, and other food items are available.

Goods that cannot be found in supermarkets or convenience stores make great souvenirs!
