Helags vintereventyr med Asahiyama dyrepark og Shirogane Blå dam

Reiseplanen var god, og dette er en fin tur å ta på en gang, inkludert dyrehagen. Det var fint at vi bare trengte å holde oss til busstidene. Det var en høy andel japanske turister. Tiden i dyrehagen, inkludert lunsj, var ikke lang, men siden det ikke var overfylt, fikk vi nyte alt. Vi fikk også hvile og kose oss ved Den blå dammen og Farm Tomita. Hvis det er sommer, vil isen (anbefaler meny nr. 1) som selges på veien til Den blå dammen, sannsynligvis være et minne som varer lenge. Det er ingen koreansk støtte, og guiden snakker ikke skikkelig engelsk, men det var ikke noe problem. På veien tilbake stoppet bussen tre steder: Sapporo stasjon, Odori-parken og Susukino, noe som var praktisk for kveldsreisen.

It’s so important to arrange the transportation in Hokkaido if you are not driving. Joining this day trip is definitely worthy since you don’t have to worry about the transportation from Sapporo to Asahiyama and Biei. Although the tour guide spoke mainly Japanese, the instruction on waiting time was still very clear.

The Asahiyama Zoo, Blue Pond, and Farm Tomita day tour was an unforgettable experience. Starting with the Asahiyama Zoo, we were captivated by the cute penguins and winter animals and the opportunity to witness their natural behaviors up close. The Blue Pond's serene beauty left us in awe with its striking blue hues and picturesque surroundings. Finally, Farm Tomita delighted our senses with its vibrant fields of blooming flowers, creating a stunning landscape. This tour combined wildlife, natural wonders, and scenic beauty, making it a great experience for all travellers.

The zoo probably be more interesting during non winter time as lot of the animals went into hiding. The penguin parade was short but they were so cute. Needless to say the Shirahige waterfall and blue pond were so beautiful at night. The trip is a must try especially it didn’t start till 1030am, we could sleep in longer 😀.

I enjoyed the time so much and it was worth it. The snow is very beautiful tho it was so cold. The travel time was tiring but overall ut was worth it!

負責接待的導遊小姐和遊覽車司機都很親切，在飯店大廳集合報到後，導遊會提醒車程較遠，可以先上洗手間和去便利商店準備點心。同行的有日本人也有外國人，但導遊的解說都是日文的。每次下車時都會在小白板上寫發車時間。整體來說旅程是愉快的，因為一天內遊覽了動物園、白金瀑布和點燈的青池，但真的要有心理準備乘車時間很長，車上暖氣很強，記得穿好穿脫的衣服。

Generally a well-organised day trip. Driver picked up us on time. The tour guide only speaks Japanese, but the gathering time was well written on a white board. If weather is good, you can even catch the sight of Hidaka Sanmyaku (snow mountains) on your left on the way to zoo. Time allocated at each destinations was OK. Might be a little rush at zoo if you planned to take your lunch there, but you can bring your own lunch or get them from the rest station where they stopped for a break. Arrived at Sapporo 1 hour ++ later than the estimated time, but it was probably due to weather. Overall it is still recommend if you only need the transportation to each destinations.

Pick-up from Anna Crown Hotel in Sapporo. Please note that there won't be signage so you need to figure it out and watch out for someone to come and start calling out names. The journey to the zoo is pretty far so you can't go on your own without bus/transport. Zoo if fantastic and the animals are so cute especially the penguins. I wish i could spend more time but have to make do with 3 hours. Then you will be brought to the blue lake - actually during winter the lake is frozen and it's not blue as it should be when it's not frozen. There will be lighting effect so overall it's nice. Please note that since it's dark - do be careful when walking on ice. Wear a snow spike - it will help for people who are not use to walking on ice. I saw a local Japanese fell just right beside me. They will bring you to the waterfall also but it's really nothing much cos it's just see look and take pic then go. Like 15 mins. The pathway to reach the waterfall is hilly - means it's rocky and uphill so it's not easy to walk and need to climb. so just take note. Overall, it's an eventful day - covering the zoo, the blue pond, the waterfall and one shopping area (say about 30 mins shopping) - try the ice cream there is very good.

Tour sehari yang menyenangkan, meeting point yang mudah dijangkau dari hotel tempat kami tinggal, bus cukup nyaman dengan perjalanan yang cukup jauh. Asahiyama Zoo bagus untuk dikunjungi, banyak koleksi hewan yang tidak biasa kami lihat sebelumnya. Blue Pond sangat indah, lokasi ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki melalui salju.

旭山動物園看企鵝好玩，我覺得一定要買這個套票，不然真的交通不好處理
