    Carl Oji-san, the Willy Wonka of Meiji!

    You can only enter the premises of Meiji Chocolate Factory in Sakado, if you have a booking for their tour. The tour is for the chocolate production line and a section with Gummy information. Until last year you could also tour the Curl production line, hence Carl Oji-san is the main character depicted and enshrined at the plant. The tour lasts up to 90 minutes. A good chunk of the tour involves watching video footage. It might be why they strictly only allow children 4 years old or older to take this tour. We had a four year old in our party and he was bored after the first video and there were five more to come throughout the tour. You get a LOT of information throughout the tour so it is truly "educational". Even though the tour is free, they bestow you with free gifts to take home and you get a couple of samples during the tour too. Booking online or by phone. More information on my personal blog "Saitama With Kids". The tour and website are in Japanese only. Temporarily no parking available at the factory while they build an extension to one factory.
