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. Do remember to check out the timing for feeding of the animals. Managed to watch the zookeeper feeding the penguins. Also check the opening hours of the zoo to avoid disappointment. 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

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

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
