— Attractions —

• Asahiyama Zoo
  
  Experience Asahiyama Zoo's "Behavioral Exhibits," which convey the "wonder,
  beauty, and preciousness of animals." These exhibits offer an up-close view of
  animals as they move, swim, fly, and hunt in a natural environment, providing
  a unique and dynamic experience.

Recommendation: Polar bear

Polar bears are famous for their pool jumps due to the heat, but they are
active in winter too. Their large white bodies contrast beautifully with the
snowy landscape. A cute baby female polar bear born in December 2021 quickly
became a sensation; see her playful antics at the Polar Bear Pavilion.

Recommendation: "Naruhodo" guide

Listen to staff describe the animals' unique behaviors, supported by rarely
seen specimens and photographs, offering plenty of surprises and new
discoveries.

Recommendation: Information boards

Discover the adorable information boards placed throughout the park, created
by the zoo staff.

• Icebreaker ship Garinko No.III IMERU
  
  The cruise ship features two large screws at the bow that push through the
  drift ice, producing a "graunching" sound. Feel the ice breaking with the
  onboard vibrations. Enjoy the thrill of observing drift ice rising alongside
  the ship, providing a close encounter with one of Hokkaido's top winter
  attractions, and experience the marvel and excitement of drift ice.

  
  

• Garinko No.III IMERU (the newly built icebreaker ship)
  
  Enjoy the breathtaking view of drift ice in the northernmost Okhotsk Sea of
  Japan. Get a chance to spot birds like Steller's sea eagles, white-tailed sea
  eagles, and slaty-backed gulls perched on the drift ice, as well as adorable
  seals peeking out. Experience a sunset cruise with a view of the orange-hued
  drift ice.
