Itinerary
Asahiyama Zoo
Asahiyama Zoo, in the northernmost part of Japan, is the landmark sightseeing spot of Hokkaido, and visited by huge number of visitors. This zoon has been designed to see not only animals’ appearance, also their behaviors through daily life display. In “Hippopotamus Hall”, ostrich and warthog could be found here as that in a natural environment; in “Seal Hall”, the movement of seal swimming in a glass pipe called “Marine Way” can also be clearly watched.
※Please note that 2.5 hours will be allocated for this stop during March. "Penguin's Parade" will not be seen during March.
2 hours
Blue Pond
Biei is renowned for its gentle flower slopes, as well as its painting-like Blue Pond. The waterfall gushes with aluminum merges into Biei River, a colloid is produced and clashes with sunlight, therefore the lake presents the unique blue color. Moreover the withered Japanese birch and larch standing in the lake bring about a still yet gasping beauty.

We had a very engaging tour guide. Though the ride was rather long but it was worth every bit of it.
Much recommended
Published on Jan, 2020
Guide was informative and cheerful. Timings for shows in the zoo were clearly stated. The illumination was absolutely beautiful but do layer up because the temperatures at the blue pond and shirihage waterfalls are freezing. Definitely easier to get to the places using a tour bus.
