The chocolate factory we visited this afternoon was possibly the strangest I have ever visited. The factory is about 50 years old - old enough to be considered an antique on this modern island, which has only really been part of Japan for 200 years.
The visit started out with Victoriana rooms of hot chocolate mugs and pots plus a Royal Doulton fountain and some seriously ugly cherubs.
There were rooms of displays of chocolate boxes (and a few anomalies), a history chocolate and the process.
Then after a small viewing deck for the factory itself the museum got a bit confused with toys and wedding cakes and Beatles memorabilia. David Beckham and Princess Diana sat together and the whole thing just lost it's way.
We had a lovely ice cream in an equally crazy rose garden with giant plastic tree houses and that was that.
