Asahikawa Zoo, Biei, and Ningle Terrace Tour from Hokkaido
The northernmost zoo in Japan, Asahiyama Zoo, is nestled in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. This charming destination offers a chance to observe an assortment of animals such as penguins, raccoons, seals and monkeys in their naturalistic habitats. The zoo's distinctive approach allows for close-up encounters through ingeniously designed exhibits, providing a sense of freedom for the animals.

<br />From there, the journey continues to Shikisai-no-oka in Biei, a location that morphs into a winter wonderland. Here, you can indulge in exhilarating activities like snowmobiling and sleddding, suitable for both novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike. Amidst the snowy fields stands the solitary Ken&Mary tree, an iconic symbol known for its artistic allure. You'll have the opportunity to admire this sight from the comfort of your vehicle.
<br />
<br />The final stop is Ningle Terrace in Furano, a place imbued with the spirit of Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa's characters. This woodland workshop is dotted with small cottages showcasing a variety of handmade crafts exclusive to the region, including glassware, paper art and lavender-themed souvenirs. Each shop exudes a certain charm and offers meticulously crafted items found nowhere else. The terrace takes on a particularly romantic ambiance in the evening when it's illuminated. After securing some keepsakes, the day trip concludes with a return to Sapporo.
