Asahiyama Zoo-Hokkaido
What is Asahiyama Zoo - Hokkaido?
Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, is the northernmost zoo in Japan and one of the most popular tourist spots in Japan. The attraction of the zoo is its unique "behavioral exhibit," which allows visitors to observe animals in their natural habitat up close and personal. The sight of penguins flying through the water and polar bears moving dynamically is a must-see, and is a popular sightseeing spot in Hokkaido for many visitors.
Why Asahiyama Zoo is popular and how to enjoy it
The reason for Asahiyama Zoo's popularity lies in its "fascinating" exhibits rather than "showing" animals. In winter, the penguins take a walk through the snowy landscape, and their cute appearance is very popular. In summer, visitors can enjoy the powerful behavior of the penguins in the Seal Pavilion and Arctic Bears Pavilion. The park is full of ingenious features that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, and is recommended for travel plans that combine sightseeing in Asahikawa, Furano, and Biei. Another attraction of the museum is its exhibitions that are integrated with the natural environment typical of Hokkaido during each of the four seasons.
