Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa is Japan’s northernmost zoo, famous for exhibits that show animals doing what they do, with tunnels where penguins swim over your head and tanks where polar bears dive. Most tours pair it with the Biei hills, a sensible day.
Visit Asahiyama Zoo, Biei’s Blue Pond and seasonal Hokkaido sights on a 10.5-hour Sapporo day trip, with transport and a souvenir included.
