Guided Trip to Asahiyama Zoo, Furano, Biei Blue Pond, Ningle Terrace

Experience a day filled with captivating sights including Asahiyama Zoo, Japan's northernmost zoo. Spend about 1.5 hours exploring the zoo and having lunch. Even in winter, the animals remain active: watch penguins take a snowy walk, see playful raccoons, curious seals, and monkeys huddling for warmth. From April to November, visit Biei Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls. Spend around 30 minutes at Biei Aoike, a stunning blue pond formed by volcanic magma. Then visit Shirahige Falls in Furano, known for its “white beard” of cascading water. From December to March, visit Biei's famous Ken & Merry Tree, and spend 40 minutes at Four Seasons Hill, enjoying activities like snowmobiling and sledging in this snow paradise. End the tour at the enchanting Ningle Terrace in Furano, a charming workshop village inspired by Japanese novels. In this unique place, you'll find small shops selling handmade treasures such as glass and paper crafts. Explore cosy chalets, and pick up a handmade souvenir to remember your Hokkaido adventure.
