【Asahiyama Zoo】
Asahiyama Zoo is located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. It is the northernmost zoo in Japan. It has now become the most visited zoo in Japan.
Who said that when you go to a zoo in winter, most animals hibernate in groups behind closed doors? Visiting Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido on a snowy day is also a lot of fun! Cute penguins are walking together in the snow, clumsy little raccoons are crawling overhead and making faces, curious seals are swimming up and down in the glass columns, and monkeys are cuddling with each other to keep warm.
[Shikisai Hill]
Shikisai-no-oka has a vast and beautiful flower field covering an area of 15 hectares. It is like a colorful rainbow carpet with different patterns in different seasons.
From the end of May to the end of October every year, more than 30 kinds of flowers such as tulips, lavender, and sunflowers bloom on the rolling hills. From a distance, they are colorful, just like the palette in the hands of a painter. There is also a giant scarecrow standing in the flower field, which is very cute. In addition, there are several alpacas here for tourists to visit and feed.
[Forest Elf Terrace]
Ningle Terrace in Furano is a forest handmade experience workshop inspired by a character in the novels of Japanese writer Satoshi Kuramoto (to be precise, an elf about 15cm living in a large forest)
The cabins here are small shops one by one, selling unique small commodities, which are basically handmade, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand paintings, and crafts made of Furano’s dried lavender flowers. The stores are small and exquisite, and everything is only sold here and there will be no next one.
Small number of high-quality small groups of 4-21 people provide a better playing experience
