Asahiyama Zoo, a family paradise in Hokkaido (Penguin Walk)

How can you miss Asahiyama Zoo when you're in Hokkaido? Apart from the unique snow season species resources, the overall experience of touring the zoo is also very well done. For example, you can watch hippos from a 360-degree angle without any blind spots, both on land and in water; the zoo's star attraction, the penguin walk, happens twice a day; and there's also the experience of peeking at polar bears from underground tunnels. Along the way, apart from being a bit slippery, the rest of the experience is quite nice.
