— What You Can Expect —
Discover the wonders of Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido, even in winter! Don't believe the myth that all zoo animals hibernate; many remain active and fascinating to observe. Experience the unique charm of a snowy zoo visit, and witness the celebrated penguin walk, typically scheduled daily at 11:00 am from December through March.
Capture the beauty of this solitary spruce, aptly named the "Christmas Tree," standing alone in a field. For the best photos, step back onto the asphalt road to encompass the tree, the vast blue sky, the fluffy white clouds, and the surrounding fields in your frame. If you see tourists venturing into the farmland for photos, kindly remind them, "Please do not enter the farmland."
Discover the enchanting Biei Green Pond, where mineral-rich waters and volcanic ash create a mesmerizing spectacle. Sunlight dances upon the pond's surface, revealing a kaleidoscope of colors that shift and change with the environment. Embrace the element of surprise, as each moment offers a unique and captivating view.
Witness the majestic Shiratsu Falls, where white, beard-like streams cascade from rocky crevices. Watch as the powerful water surges from the earth, crashing against the rocks and creating vibrant blue waves. Experience the beauty of this location throughout the year, from the lush greenery and clear waters of summer to the serene, snow-covered landscape of winter, and appreciate the striking contrast between these two distinct seasons.
*If Asahiyama Zoo is closed (closed days are: April 8 to April 26, 2024, November 4 to November 10, December 30 to January 1, 2025), this itinerary is changed to the Internet celebrity Christmas tree (15 minutes) - Aochi Pond (30 minutes) - Shirasu Falls (20 minutes) - Yumoto Shirogane Onsen (about 120 minutes). If the hot spring is closed, we will change to other hot springs of the same type. When the zoo is closed, the itinerary and time may be adjusted depending on the traffic conditions of the day.
