PLEASE NOTE: Before 9am, the staff will give out number to purchase the edges of the layered log cake ( 4 pieces at 500yen) and it is very popular and cheap. For this amount of cake, you will need to buy about 3,500yen in retail. To Japanese, the edges do not have good presentation and therefore, they sell it cheaply every morning. 

This is a secret only among the Japanese!! Please do not give up the number!! I met a family who told the staff that they didn't want the cake and returned the number!!  They didn't know about it and when they knew that, they thought that there would be another round of distribution later. It was sad to see them missed the special cake offer. 

Direction: There is no bus to Sweetpia Garden and the only transportation mode is taxi. From Obihiro station to destination is 3,200yen ( Approximately SGD $40) per trip. On your way back, you can ask the staff to book a taxi without additional booking charges. 

If you just want to buy their cakes, biscuits and limited season items, you can also go to their shop just next to JR Obihiro station.
