Hokkaido Asahiyama Zoo Bus Tour
As the northernmost zoo in Japan, Asahiyama Zoo is visited by many tourists even though it is located in Asahikawa. In the park, there are various facilities where you can observe animals up close, such as the "Seal House" and "Arctic Bear House," which are elaborately designed to show the natural behavior of animals. Pibarakan" and "Chimpanzee Forest" are also highlights.
In addition, there are "Red Panda Suspension Bridge", "Wolves Forest", "Hokkaido Animal House", etc., and the animals are becoming more familiar, making it a zoo with many repeat visitors.
The itinerary departs from Sapporo and goes straight to Asahikawa. It's a long way to Asahikawa, but you won't get bored with regular sightseeing! The guide will tell you various fun stories according to the scenery and destination. The only place to visit is Asahiyama Zoo, so you have plenty of time to visit the zoo. Rather than a busy tour packed with various sightseeing spots, you should be able to relax and see the animals to your heart's content.
On the way back, we have set a break time at the Sunagawa Highway Oasis. There are shops selling Hokkaido specialties and cafes of famous Hokkaido confectionery makers, so you can enjoy sampling while choosing souvenirs. You can also drop off at the symbolic spot "Sapporo Clock Tower" near Sapporo Odori. A very convenient and easy regular sightseeing bus for energetic animals.

Reviews
lt is difficult to go there alone. Because it takes 2 hours from Sapporo and transportation is hard to get there. So this tour package is very good offer to me. Furthermore it's reasonable price. That's good experience to me.
The bus is comfortable to sit on. Although I can’t understand Japanese, the tour guide is very serious and responsible.
The Zoo is so nice, will highly recommend to friends with kids. So many different animals in the zoo. However, most of them are very sleepy due to the hot weather. The guide speaks Japanese only and is so professional.
It's great. Although the tour guide can only speak Japanese, you can enjoy the zoo with Google Translate.
