The Experience
ーThis tour will visit Asahiyama Zoo, which is the northernmost zoo in Japan and attracts many tourists despite its location in Asahikawa.The park has various facilities designed to show the true behavior of the animals, such as the "Seal Pavilion" and the "Arctic Bear Pavilion" where visitors can observe the animals up close, and the "Orangutan Pavilion," "Spider Monkey Pavilion," and "Chimpanzee Forest" are also highlights.The zoo also has a "Lesser Panda Suspension Bridge," a "Wolf Forest," and a "Hokkaido Animal House," bringing the animals closer and closer together and attracting many repeat visitors.
ーThe itinerary starts from Sapporo to Asahikawa. It is a long way to Asahikawa, but because of the beautiful scenery along the way out the window of bus, you'll definitely have an exciting ride!
ーSince the Asahiyama Zoo is the only attraction you will visit, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the zoo.Compared to the other rushed tours that cram a lot of sightseeing spots into a limited amount of time,this tour allows you to take your time and see the animals in a more relaxed and satisfying way.
ーOn the way back, we also set a rest time at Sunagawa Highway Oasis.There is also a store selling Hokkaido's specialty products and a café featuring Hokkaido's famous confectionery makers, where visitors can enjoy tasting and selecting souvenirs.You can also make a stopover at the Sapporo Clock Tower, a symbolic spot near Sapporo Odori.
