Reviews
I joined the Asahiyama Zoo & Blue Pond Marine Life & Secret Realm One-Day Tour, and it was a wonderful experience. The schedule was well organized, with enough time at each spot to explore. • Asahiyama Zoo: The zoo was very unique, especially the penguin and seal exhibits where you can see the animals up close in a natural way. It’s much more interactive compared to other zoos. • Blue Pond (Aoiike): Truly beautiful and worth seeing in person—the blue water and peaceful atmosphere made it feel magical. • Shirogane Falls / Secret Realm Spots: Scenic views and a refreshing stop surrounded by nature. Overall, I recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hokkaido who wants to see some of the region’s most famous highlights in one day.
