What to expect

Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, is Japan's northernmost zoo. Here, visitors can see adorable penguins strolling in the snow, clumsy raccoons climbing around, curious seals frolicking in glass enclosures, and monkeys huddling together for warmth. The zoo's unique feature is its emphasis on providing animals with a relatively free-range environment, allowing visitors to observe them up close through clever exhibits.

Next, head to Shikisai-no-oka in Biei, which in winter transforms into a snowy playground. Activities like snowmobiling and sledding are available, catering to both beginners and enthusiasts. Don't miss the iconic Christmas tree standing alone in the snowy fields of Biei, attracting many visitors for its artistic charm.

Finally, visit Ningle Terrace in Furano, inspired by a character from Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa's novels. This forest workshop features small cottages housing unique handmade crafts such as glassware, paper art, and lavender-themed souvenirs exclusive to the area. Each shop is quaint and offers items that are meticulously crafted and only available here. The terrace is particularly romantic in the evening when it lights up. After purchasing souvenirs, return to Sapporo, concluding your day trip.
