—Itinerary introduction—

Asahiyama Zoo (about 120 minutes, including free lunch time)

• Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, is the northernmost zoo in Japan and has become the most visited zoo in Japan. Who said that when you go to a zoo in winter, most animals hibernate in groups behind closed doors? Visiting the Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido on a snowy day is definitely fun: cute penguins walk together in the snow, clumsy little raccoons crawl around overhead making faces, curious seals shuttle up and down the glass columns and play around, monkeys The groups cling to each other for warmth. The biggest feature here is to ensure that the animals can be kept in a relatively free state to the greatest extent, and through clever displays, visitors can observe the animals up close. (The penguin walk is expected to be carried out from December to March, and it will be arranged to watch the penguin walk at 11:00 am).

Asahiyama Zoo closed days: April 8, 2024 to April 26, 2024, November 4 to
November 10, December 30 to January 1, 2025. If Asahiyama Zoo is closed, then
The itinerary was changed to Biei Mangrove (30 minutes) - Shikisai no Oka (50
minutes) - Biei Green Pond (30 minutes) - Shirasuga Falls (15 minutes)

From April 1st to November 30th, go to: Biei Aoike (about 30 minutes)

Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam
built to intercept volcanic magma. Under sunlight, the water in the pool will
reflect blue, hence its name. Aoike was once photographed by National
Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi. The work was later acquired by Apple
and became one of the default desktops in the MAC series. The water of Qingchi
contains rich minerals and sandy components in volcanic ash. Under the
sunlight, Qingchi will show various colors with subtle changes in the
environment. You never know what he will show you at the next moment, which
makes people full of expectations.

Remark! Let’s observe the [tourist etiquette] together and visit the Hill Town
Biei! The pastoral scenery of Biei is a unique landscape created by farmers
cultivating delicious crops. However, in recent years, there has been an
increase in the number of tourists who have unintentionally stepped into
farmland in order to take pictures of beautiful scenery. This move not only
harms the crops, but also tramples on the fruits of farmers' hard work and
beads of sweat. Therefore, please abide by the following tourist etiquette,
and let us protect the original beauty of the countryside together.

★When taking photos, please "step back" and stand on the asphalt road to take
the view. In this way, the blue sky, white clouds, and fields can be captured
in your frame.

★When tourists enter the farmland to take pictures, please "speak out" to stop
them and remind them: "Sorry, please don't go into the farmland."

From April 1st to November 30th, go to: Shiragu Falls (about 15 minutes)

The Shirakane Falls in Furano, Hokkaido, has a drop of 30 meters and an
altitude of 600 meters. It is located in the Shirogane Hot Spring Village of
Biei Town. It is named "Shiratsu Waterfall" because of the white whisker-like
water pouring down from the cracks in the rocks. The water gushing from the
ground beat against the rocks and stirred up blue waves. Here you can enjoy
beautiful mountains and clear waters in summer and white snow in winter. You
can enjoy the sharp contrast between the two seasons.

plowing conditions, the tree may not be accessible, a car tour will be
arranged without getting off the car)

• Ken & Merry Tree (get off and tour for about 10 minutes): Named after it appeared in the 1972 Nissan "Horizon of Love" CM commercial. The male and female protagonists in the commercial, Ken & Mary, use this tall poplar tree as the background to perform a wonderful commercial in the northern land. Near Ken & Mary's Wood, there is a triangular building painted in goose yellow, surrounded by Christmas trees, which is very cute.
