DOP Ticketing Newsletter

Hey animal lovers and adventure seekers! 👋

Ever dreamed of coming face-to-face with a majestic polar bear? Or watching playful penguins waddle through snow-covered landscapes? 🐧❄️ Then you've got to add Asahiyama Zoo to your Hokkaido bucket list!

This isn't your average zoo. 🙅‍♀️ Asahiyama is known for its unique enclosures that let you see animals up close and personal, behaving as they would in the wild. Stroll through a glass tunnel while seals swim overhead, or watch wolves roam in a spacious habitat designed to mimic their natural environment. 🐺👀

With over 120 animal species, there's something for everyone. Don't miss the adorable red pandas, the majestic Hokkaido brown bears, and the charming snow monkeys warming up in their hot springs! 🐒♨️

Asahiyama Zoo is known for its unique enclosures that allow visitors to see animals behaving as they would in the wild. While many animals are fascinating, some of the most unique and popular experiences at Asahiyama Zoo include:

  • Penguins: The penguin exhibit features an underwater tunnel that allows visitors to watch penguins "fly" through the water. It's a truly magical experience!

  • Seals: The "Marine Way" is a large glass tube filled with water that seals swim through, offering a 360-degree view of these playful creatures.

  • Polar Bears: The polar bear enclosure features a glass dome called the "Seal's Eye" that allows visitors to experience the perspective of a seal being hunted by a polar bear.

  • Wolves: Another glass dome allows visitors to get eye-level with wolves in their habitat.

These unique enclosures provide visitors with unforgettable experiences and close encounters with some of the world's most fascinating creatures.

Getting There: From Sapporo, take a JR train to Asahikawa Station (about 85 minutes). Then, hop on a bus (41, 42, or 47) for a scenic 40-minute ride to the zoo. 🚌

Nearby Attractions: Asahikawa itself is a charming city with plenty to offer, from ramen shops to local breweries. 🍜🍻 If you're up for an adventure, explore the nearby Daisetsuzan National Park, home to stunning mountains and hiking trails. ⛰️

Asahiyama Zoo is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique wildlife experience in Hokkaido. So pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready for an unforgettable journey into the animal kingdom! 🧳🐯
