Asahiyama Zoo | Japan's most popular polar zoo 🐧❄️ Located at Japan's northernmost tip, it pioneered the "action exhibition" concept – watching seals swim overhead through an underwater tunnel and polar bears leap into the water. Winter-exclusive penguin walks are adorable and delight everyone. It's a 30-minute drive from Asahikawa Airport and a must-visit in Hokkaido! Friendly reminder: Asahiyama Zoo closed dates: April 8 to April 28, 2026; November 4 to November 10; December 30 to 31.

Shirahige Waterfall is an excellent summer retreat in Biei Town, Hokkaido. Clear spring water cascades down basalt cliffs, forming a delicate curtain of water. Surrounded by lush greenery, the mist brings a refreshing coolness. Standing on the observation deck, one can not only feel the grandeur of the waterfall but also enjoy the cool embrace of nature.

Shirogane Blue Pond is one of the most representative natural wonders in Biei Town, Hokkaido. Its waters display an incredible cobalt blue, like a sapphire embedded in the forest. This unique color comes from the reflection of sunlight off aluminum particles in the water. The lake's color is especially vibrant during the sunny summer months, complemented by the water.
