Winter in Hokkaido, Japan, is pure and serene in every way. ❄️ The winter here is as gentle as the endless tenderness in 'Love Letter', ❄️ and as beautiful and melancholic as 'Snow Country'. 🎬 A movie called 'Hokkaido' 🎬 starts showing gradually from November. ❄️ Snowflakes gently fall, covering the ground, ❄️ making the whole world seem wrapped in a pure white veil. Sapporo, Otaru, Asahikawa... these familiar names ✨ appear even more dreamy in the winter snow. - 1️⃣ Sapporo: Winter Charm in the City As the capital of Hokkaido, Sapporo's winter is full of urban vitality and natural tranquility. Winter is the best time to experience Hokkaido's winter culture. Huge ice sculptures illuminated by lights resemble scenes from a fairy tale, making you feel like you're in a dreamy world of ice and snow. . 2️⃣ Otaru: Romantic Winter by the Canal Otaru's canal is particularly serene in winter, with the river frozen, and the European-style buildings on both sides covered in snow, as if time has stopped at this moment. Walking along this canal, every corner is a beautiful picture. Why not sit in a café by the canal, have a cup of hot coffee, and enjoy the snowy scenery outside, feeling the tranquility and romance? . 3️⃣ Asahikawa: Winter Paradise for Wildlife Asahikawa's winter is not just a kingdom of snow, but also a paradise for various animals, especially at Asahiyama Zoo, where the winter penguin🐧 walk is a major highlight. Watching these adorable animals waddle through the snow, all the coldness is dispelled by their innocence and joy. . 4️⃣ Hokkaido Cuisine🥘 First, I highly recommend 'Soup Curry'! A hot bowl is really comforting! Sapporo's 🍜 ramen, Hakodate's 🦐 seafood, every bite is warmth in the winter. Especially in the cold winter, a steaming hot 'Ishikari Nabe'🫕 not only warms the body but also the soul. - In Hokkaido's winter, snow is no longer synonymous with cold, but a symbol of warmth and beauty. In this snowy wonderland, may every traveler find their own winter story. This winter, let's go to Hokkaido together!

In winter, you can see the adorable penguin walk at Asahiyama Zoo. You can watch them waddle close up. The daily walk times are 11:00 and 14:30, don't miss it! Additionally, there are many other cute animals in the zoo! This time, I saw a hippo blowing bubbles while sleeping. In the lion area, every cat behaves like a big cat, even rolling over and folding their paws. The wolves, on the other hand, sleep like pet dogs at home. Many online reviews say that the zoo is too small and the animals exhibit stereotypical behaviors. However, after visiting, I found that the zoo has improved a lot. Many areas are being renovated and expanded. There is a direct bus from Asahikawa city center, costing 500 yen per person, which is very convenient!

🐧The city tour of Asahikawa starts with a morning penguin walk at Asahiyama Zoo. In the early morning, the Asahiyama Zoo covered in white snow is quiet and serene, and the waddling emperor penguins take a leisurely walk around the park, their adorable appearance causing visitors to lower their voices in constant admiration. ☃️Asahiyama Zoo is the northernmost zoo in Japan, with a history of 50 years. It has penguins, polar bears, box horses, red-crowned cranes, giraffes, etc. The areas are relatively concentrated and can be basically completed in half a day. The scenery is unbeatable after the snow. 📌Zoo tour tips 🎫Ticket: 1000 for adults ⏰Time: 10:30 🚌Transportation: There is a direct bus to the zoo from JR Asahikawa Station, about 40 minutes by car. We stayed at Hoshino OMO7 Asahikawa Hotel. There is a free shuttle bus to and from the zoo every day, which is very convenient 🐧Penguin walk 11:00/14:30 twice a day, it is recommended to go to the walkway 15 minutes in advance. The feeding times of other animals are written on the signs in the park, you can pay attention to the set time Winter tour pay attention to keep warm, anti-skid, parents should take care of children. There is a fast food restaurant at the entrance of the zoo, offering simple meals, ramen and so on. 🏨We stayed at Hoshino OMO7 Asahikawa Hotel, where there is a city walk guided by a guide every day. Followed the OMO Ranger to explore Asahikawa's 57 alleys and Paris Road in the evening. The former is a food-filled alley where you can eat Asahikawa's three soul foods: soy sauce ramen, grilled new child, and salt-grilled large intestine. The latter Paris Road mainly serves Japanese Western cuisine, which is very stylish! 💡Asahikawa is not big, Hoshino OMO7 Asahikawa store is well located, convenient transportation, and it is the tallest building in Asahikawa, with a first-class view. The public space in the store is reasonably divided, the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, there are rich activities every day, and it is extremely fulfilling and comfortable just here. 🍹The hotel has a full-fledged welcome drink, free hot springs, free snow gear care area, reading area, and different content sharing sessions in the evening. You can supplement your knowledge about Asahiyama Zoo here first. 🍧Hoshino OMO7 Asahikawa's limited edition seven strawberry ice cream and ramen ice cream are very creative and full of creativity. Don't miss it if you like it~ Asahikawa travel is enough for one day, but two days are more relaxed~😄

1⃣ First stop: Asahiyama Zoo to watch penguins In the morning, head to Asahiyama Zoo. The penguins walk at 11 am, so you need to arrive and buy tickets in advance. Take a 1.5-hour express train from Sapporo Station, and choose the 8 am train. After arriving at Asahikawa Station, immediately go to platform 6 and take the 9:40 bus from Asahikawa Station to Asahiyama Zoo, which takes about 40 minutes and costs 500 yen. After arriving at the zoo, buy tickets and queue up to enter, it is expected to be around 10:30. Then go to the penguin walking route, find a good photo spot, and wait for the penguins to appear. 2⃣ Second stop: Lonely Christmas Tree. After watching the penguins, please be sure to enjoy a bowl of hot ramen near the main exit of the zoo (make sure to choose the main exit). The restaurant is in the park, do not leave the park. Then, prepare to take the bus from the zoo to Asahikawa Station (the bus stop is in front of the main entrance of the zoo). You can check the bus schedule on Google Maps, we chose a bus around 12:10. After arriving at Asahikawa Station, take the Furano Line to Biei Station, which takes about 1 hour. Once you arrive at Biei Station, use Google Maps to search for "クリスマスツリーの木" (I tried English search and it didn't work), and follow the navigation for about 20 minutes to arrive. The scenery along the way is very beautiful, just like what you see in pictures 2 to 5, you can take pictures while walking. It is recommended to arrive at the Christmas tree before 2:30 in the afternoon, because taking pictures may take a lot of time, and it gets dark very early, so you must ensure that there is enough time to return to Biei Station to catch the return train. The train intervals in this small rural area are relatively long, so you need to arrange your itinerary based on the train time on Google Maps (we chose a train around 4 o'clock to return to Asahikawa Station, and then return to Sapporo from Asahikawa). Please pay special attention: all transportation card points need to be checked and confirmed on Google Maps to match your itinerary!

#wecreate Asahiyama Zoo is a zoological garden outside of Central Asahikawa City in the middle of Hokkaido. There are many various of animals from all over the world, such as penguins, apes, polar bears and etc. For animal lovers, is worth a trip there.

Admission ticket is 1,000 yen. Take bus number 41, 42 or 47 from Asahikawa Station and takes about 40 minutes which cost 500 yen. #mytripvlog #tripblazers#hokkaidotravel

#japanattractions Asahiyama Zoo has different program schedules for animals. Remember to check the schedule for the day when you enter the park. There are feeding shows, animal information, and key itineraries. Large animals, big black bears, tigers 🐯 are also very close to watch. The lions and tigers were explained that day, and the tigers were very close to the commentators. It can be imagined that the animals are well taken care of 👍🏻 A must-see is "Penguins🐧Walking". The penguins will line up and walk swaying. They are super cute and can be viewed from a very close distance. In addition, Asahiyama Zoo has animals divided into different areas. The animals are very energetic and worth a visit for both men and women of all ages ❤️ #travel #Japan #Asahiyama Zoo #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTravel

🌟In winter, Hokkaido is very windy, blowing painfully on the face. The sky is also filled with fluffy snowflakes. Get up early to go to Asahiyama Zoo to see the penguins. They waddle out so cute. There are also furry little raccoons, whose big tails can be used as scarves. Just looking at them makes you feel warm. 🌟Seals or sea lions, I can't tell them apart. They always seem to have a smiling expression, but I can't tell if their eyes are open or closed. Sometimes they swim happily, and sometimes they float quietly on the surface, basking in the sun. They look so relaxed, but I wonder if they're sleeping. I always feel like animals without fur protection must be cold, while animals with fur protection must have cold feet. 🌟In order to get a close look at polar bears, the zoo designed curved glass windows that protrude from the ground. A big brother stuck his head out and took non-stop photos under the bear's butt, which was really funny. But if you want to see brown bears, you still have to go to the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, which has 100 purebred Hokkaido brown bears located at the foot of the mountain. The ticket has a picture of a little bear catching fish. The ranch divides the bear areas by age group, and there is food for sale at the entrance. Brown bears are very intelligent, holding onto the iron bars with their paws, their small eyes turning and chattering, especially clever.

Day 5 - After breakfast, suppose to take a tram to Makomanai then take a bus to Takino Suzuran (9:45am bus) , however we miss the bus and we took a taxi instead. For those for reference, the bus to Takino is as follow: - ★namboku line [Makomanai Subway Station] 発　→　[Suzuran Park Higashi Guchi] going ・Chuou Bus Takino line [truth 106] ② turn platform ・A fare: 440 yen for adults / 220 yen for children ・The time required: Approximately 32 minutes - We took a taxi to Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kita-Hiroshima 三井アウトレットパーク札幌北広島 - if have time after Takino (can consider to Shiroi Koibito Park - watch Illumination 白い恋人パーク)- but we have spent too much time in Takino. - Later to Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade 狸小路商店街 for dinner Day 6 - Joined a day tour to Asahikawa - Bie - Asahiyama Zoo - Kamifurano Herb Hill - Shirogane Blue Pond (frozen pond.. nothing to shout out loud :P) - Shirahige Falls - Evening at Furano Prince Hotel, explore Ninguru Terrace - After the tour, we went to Sapporo TV Tower that i booked via Klook then we have dinner at Ganso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho 元祖札幌ラーメン横丁" #celebratewithtrip #

#winter2022 #asahikawa #asahiyamazoo The Asahiyama Zoo is a municipal zoo that opened in July 1967 in Asahikawa, Hokkaidō, Japan, and is the northernmost zoo in the country. Penguins are one of the zoo's most popular animals. You can walk through underwater tunnels as they swim overhead. In winter, everyone waits for the penguin walk, when they waddle along outside of their enclosures in front of the crowd like a tiny army.

Despite the freezing weather, with the icy wind biting at every inch of my exposed skin, I can say that I had an amazing time at Asahiyama Zoo! I cannot recommend this zoo enough, from its wide variety of enclosures to the insightful information that the zookeepers had shared, especially during the Penguin Feeding Time. Sadly, me and my family had missed the famed Penguin Walk, which is the talk of the town and the only reason that we had ventured to the zoo in the first place. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of fun that I had even without watching cute penguins scuttling around with their webbed feet. Definitely a must-go if you were to visit Asahikawa!

This is Asahiyama zoo located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido prefecture. There are buses to the zoo from Asahikawa station and it takes approximately 45 minutes to reach. The marching event are held twice daily at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m during December till around mid-March when the snow starts to melt. The penguins are so cute! It was so cool to be able to watch them in such close proximity >.< Of course, there are also other animals to visit! #celebratewithtrip

To Hokkaido in winter, Asahikawa is a must-see. The most famous attraction in Asahikawa is the Asahiyama Zoo. The most popular attraction for the Asahiyama Zoo is the penguin walk. There is one at 11 am every day and one at half past two in the afternoon. The whole penguin walk is about half an hour. Once you enter the zoo, you can see the place where you can watch the penguins take a walk. It doesn't matter where you line up at the beginning. The penguin keeps going until you get back. Your own "home", follow the pace of the penguin to move your position, you can definitely find a good position to watch and take pictures. In addition to penguins, Asahiyama Zoo and polar bears, raccoons, deer, giraffes and other animals, watching animals in the snow and ice, is also a special experience. The decoration in the zoo is very love, the material is photographed everywhere, even the vending machine is also animal-themed, so cute, foul! ➡️About tickets: Adults 820 yen ➡️ About admission time (specifically see the official website) summer: April - October 9

In the past, when talking about Japan's most famous zoo, people will naturally mention the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. Today, when it comes to the most popular, it is the Asahiyama Zoo on the outskirts of Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan, the northernmost zoo in Japan. As the Asahiyama Zoo, in addition to a variety of common animals, there are also creatures in the cold northern regions such as seals and polar bears. Transportation: Take the Asahikawa Electric Rail Bus from Asahikawa Station and arrive at Asahiyama Zoo in 40 minutes. Tickets are 440 yen. The station is on the side of Asahikawa Station. We bought the ticket for the zoo + snow village at the station in advance, 1800 yen, free for children. The zoo opened at 10:30 and counted the time on the road. We went to the station at 9:00, and there were already many people. The 20-minute bus on the Internet was not. When it was full, it was driven away, and then immediately. Connected to the first, the zoo said that it opened at 10:30, in fact 10

During my visit to Asahiyama Zoo, I was amazed by the unique enclosures and close animal encounters. However, the highlight was the Penguin Walking Parade, which took place at a specific time of day. Watching the penguins waddle through the zoo was a joyful experience. Visitors gathered to see them move from one area to another, guided by the staff. It was both charming and surreal. The Penguin Walking Parade truly made my visit unforgettable, offering a rare and magical experience that showcased the playful nature of these wonderful creatures. #magicalxmastrip #japan #travel #couplestrip

👌 Let’s talk about the itinerary first, and then talk about personal feelings 📅 Itinerary 🕗 07:50-8:00am • Meet at Odori Subway Station Exit 31 or JR Sapporo Station North Exit and take the bus to Asahikawa. 🚌 🦁 10:30am Asahikawa Zoo (90 minutes) 🅿️2️⃣-🅿️6️⃣ • Penguin Walk🐧: Scheduled to be held at 11:00 am and 14:30 pm from around late December to mid-March (only at 11:00 am in March) 00) 🎄 13:00pm Lonely Tree (20 minutes) 🅿️7️⃣-🅿️8️⃣ • A "Christmas tree" located in an isolated snow field in Biei. 🌲 💧 14:00pm Baihu Waterfall (20 minutes) 🅿️9️⃣-🅿️1️⃣1️⃣ • Blue Waterfall: Because it is rich in minerals, the water flow presents a dreamy blue color. 💙❄️ 🌿 15:00pm HERB GARDEN (20 minutes break) • It is a rest and transit duty-free shop. • Purchase special souvenirs 🎁: such as lavender sachets, hand cream, White Lovers and other souvenirs. ✨ 16:00pm Elf Terrace (40 minutes) • A group of cabins located in Shin-Furano. 🏠✨ 🚌 Return to Sapporo at 16:40pm (about 2 hours drive) (there may be slight differences in time due to traffic conditions, the overall itinerary is like this) 👋Personal true feelings: 💰This tour fee: 5️⃣0️⃣7️⃣A bus costs almost 45 People 💋Personal preference ranking: Penguin Walk>White Beard Waterfall>Lonely Tree>Elf Terrace (herb garden is a place for consumption and rest, and does not participate in the ranking) ➡️Penguin Walk: I went there on 12.11, and the official said that the penguin walk will only start on the 12th. 🐧, but luckily there will be penguins walking on the 11th. This is also the most worthwhile part of the whole trip. It was really cute to see those penguins waddling around. ➡️White Beard Waterfall: It’s so beautiful that it’s so stunning that I can’t help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. I won’t say more, just look at the pictures👏It’s a pity that the stay was too short. ➡️The lonely tree: In fact, we all know that it is a tree in the vast white snow. It is really cold in winter, and the time to get off the car is very short. The wind is strong and it makes your head hurt. Take a photo and then go back to the car. There is not much else to see. ➡️Elf Terrace: I personally don’t like commercial things. Elf Terrace is a commercial street packaged as a Christmas log cabin. There are many people and it is very crowded. It would be quite difficult to make a film with so many people. ➡️Others: The itinerary of this one-day tour is relatively tight. You need to bring breakfast and lunch by yourself. We brought bread and water to eat in the car because it was too cold when we got off the car and there might not be room. #HokkaidoTravel #ibiei #Asahikawa #Furano #One-day tour #Group tour #Japan #Winter

I really love Hokkaido~ This reflection arc can be really long and long and can be recalled for a long time🥰🥰Slowly sort out the photos and savor them~📷 Asahikawa Zoo🐧 is undoubtedly a place that everyone who comes to Asahikawa will definitely go to. What should I expect? I'm looking forward to it, isn't it just a zoo, and when I went there, the penguin walk hadn't started yet (╥╯^╰╥) (I went on 12/8) Even though the snow❄️ was already very heavy, I still didn't go out for a walk! But after going there...well! Juejuezi~❄️The snowy zoo is really nice! And the animals here are so cute! - The cute penguin 🐧 is swaying, the white and tender polar bear (but I think it is so thin, and it feels a bit pitiful to pace anxiously all the time), and many other cute animals 🦥🦤🪵🦭 little raccoon, Giraffes, wolves, owls🦉...etc., the layout of the zoo is very good, the signs are cute😊Every place is carefully photographed, full of childishness, haha, there is life and fun everywhere❤️It's fun for adults to play, and for children to come I should be happier now. I will take my daughter to see the snow and animals next time! ! - Because we were chartering a car for a one-day trip to Asahikawa Biei, we arrived at the zoo early in the morning when it opened and played there until noon. There were still many people in the restaurant for lunch, so we wanted to go out to eat delicious food outside the zoo🍜The elder brother who chartered the car took us there I visited a ramen shop nearby, it’s really not to be missed! So delicious! The ingredients are rich and delicious🤤The steaming bowl of ramen, the rich soup base, the noodles are smooth and chewy, and the meat is so big. When paired with fresh vegetables, the whole person will be warmed up! It seems to be a chain store, but I personally think it tastes very good~ - 🦦 Come and play at Asahikawa Zoo and try the delicious ramen nearby! The whole day was fulfilling and satisfying, and my soul was healed by the snow❄️ and the many cute animals. It was cute and cute all day long! ☺️ # Hokkaido # Asahikawa Zoo # Hokkaido Travel # Asahikawa # Ramen Recommendation # Asahikawa Food # Snow Scenery Atmosphere # Asahikawa Travel # Give southern children a little snow shock

❄️In Hakodate, it was sunny and snowy for a while, and the million-dollar night view that people were looking forward to finally revealed a little bit in the heavy fog. 🌲In Asahikawa and Furano, we deliberately chose good weather, the sun was shining brightly, and the Christmas trees looked particularly beautiful in the sunshine. 🌨️The snow in Otaru is really frustrating. Everyone who has been there knows that the visibility is very poor, and I don’t even want to go up Mount Tengu. #Japan#Hokkaido#Otaru#Christmas tree#Furano#Beiei#Asahikawa Zoo#Sapporo#Hakodate

Day1: The chartered bus departed from Sapporo at 8 o'clock and arrived at Asahikawa Zoo at 11 o'clock, just in time for the penguins to come out. Then go to Biei Lonely Tree 🌲 and enjoy the spectacular Baihu Waterfall. Day2: Explore Shikisai Hills, experience the fun of dog sledding 🛷, then ski at Furano Hotel ⛷️, and finally enjoy delicious food at the Fairy Terrace. Eat: Bear Woodpecker (the beef is very delicious), Hamayaki Hokkaido Fishman (rich dishes, the best value for money), Fuchuan Noodle House (recommended by Michelin, open only three days a week). #Asahikawa Zoo #Asahikawa Zoo Penguin Parade #Hokkaido #lonely tree #ibiei Four Seasons Colorful Hill #ibiei Christmas tree #ibiei net red tree

🐧 From Sapporo to Asahikawa Zoo, we chose a nanny car as a means of transportation. This is because in the autumn and winter seasons of Hokkaido, a nanny car is a good choice when traveling across cities. 🚐 In winter, it takes about an hour and a half to drive from Sapporo to Asahikawa Zoo. After arriving, you need to queue up at the door to buy tickets to enter. After entering the park, you can freely watch various cute animals. In particular, the travel time of penguins is regulated, so it is recommended to prepare in advance. 👗 In terms of clothing, it is recommended to choose one or two bright colors. I chose a blue-gray mink fur coat, paired with fleece yoga pants, socks and snow boots of the same color, while the baby chose a bright pink. #Hokkaido #Asahikawa Zoo #Penguin #Fur wear

🌨️ I saw a lot of people complaining that it’s not worth coming. If you don’t like taking pictures, it’s really not fun to come, but if you don’t come, you’ll regret it, haha, that’s how people are! I signed up for a one-day small group, with 9 people in a car. We picked everyone up and set off around 8 o'clock in the morning. The heavy snow on the road was very beautiful, and the scenery along the way was surprising. 🐧 1️⃣Asahikawa Zoo arrived at Asahikawa Zoo around 10:30. The driver bought tickets for everyone to go in and wander around freely. The penguin walk started at 11 o'clock. We had ramen (40+RMB/bowl) for lunch inside the zoo. It's quite big. After watching the penguin walk, I didn't have time to go shopping because I had to gather at 12 o'clock to go to the next location. 🌲 2️⃣Nanahoshi Hill/Christmas Tree Nanahoshi Hill is a row of trees where you can take photos. Because it was snowing heavily at the time, I didn’t take many photos. A carload of people came and left within a few minutes. There were not many people here. In fact, it could be better. When the film was released, the Christmas tree had a more lonely atmosphere. There were many people here, especially Koreans haha. ❄️ 3️⃣ There was originally a green pool on the itinerary of Baihu Waterfall, but the master said that it was frozen and nothing could be seen, so we didn’t go. However, the master showed us another place to take pictures, a trail between two rows of trees. , it’s like being in a movie, it’s super beautiful, there’s a railway next to it for filming, I have to give a thumbs up to the master here👍🏻, after we finish here we go to see Baihu Waterfall, it’s a bit cold here and there’s a lot of snow. , take good measures to keep warm. The scenery here is very spectacular. I think it is worth seeing. The shock you see with your eyes cannot be captured with a mobile phone. 🏡 4️⃣Elf Terrace The people in the car were already a little tired when we got here, so we went down and took a few photos before getting on the car. I felt that this place is optional, nothing special, just a few cabins haha. 🕓 5️⃣We will go back around four o'clock. When we get back to Sapporo at around six o'clock, the chef can send you to Tanukikoji, or you can choose to go back to the hotel. Summary: If you come by yourself by public transportation, it may not be convenient in such heavy snowy weather, but if you need to visit all the zoo, then this one-day tour is not suitable because you are pressed for time and you won’t be able to see many things. So you can consider finding a day to go to the zoo alone. I personally think that a small group on this day is still okay. For me, haha, I think it is very good. You don’t have to do a guide and someone will drive you there and take you back. Even the road is covered. No need to walk that much. #Hokkaido #Asahikawa #Asahikawa Zoo #Biei Christmas Tree #Furano #Japan #Hokkaido Free Travel
