Asahiyama Zoo

4.7/5

Asahiyama Zoo is located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, and is a highly popular zoo in Japan. In the 1990s, it was on the verge of closure due to a sharp decline in visitors. However, with the concept of "behavioral exhibits," it regained popularity: the enclosures are designed according to the animals' natural instincts, allowing them to exhibit instinctive behaviors in a near-natural state. Visitors can observe them up close and unobstructed. The zoo summarizes this philosophy as "conveying life." The themed exhibition halls in the park each have their highlights. The seal pavilion features a large vertical cylindrical tank at its center, where spotted seals swim up and down - circling the tank allows full viewing, and they occasionally press against the glass to gaze at travelers. In the polar bear pavilion, polar bears tumble and dive in a massive pool, creating an impactful sight through underwater glass panels. The penguin pavilion's underwater tunnel is a signature attraction, where visitors can look up to see penguins gliding overhead like birds. At the orangutan pavilion, orangutans perform "skywalk" on ropes between towers over ten meters high, representing a classic animal behavior display. Every snowy winter, penguins walk in groups along outdoor snow paths, waddling past visitors—a signature program that has continued for years. The zoo also features feeding sessions with on-site guides, during which the animals are particularly active. After entering, check the daily schedule and allow ample time to explore at leisure.

I really enjoyed my experience there. I loved the place and the activities. You should go if you want to have some fun. I also went with my dad, who is in his 60s. There were places where he could rest when he got tired or cold.Plus, I got a really good deal — around 80% off. I was a bit worried at first that it might not be valid, but it turned out to work just like a regular entry ticket, and I even got a small souvenir.

Spend a sweet afternoon at Sapporo's Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) restaurant. Listen to chocolate stories, play interactive games, watch how chocolate cookies are made, and most interestingly, try your hand at painting a giant cookie! At 5:00 PM, the magical clock tower puppet show and dreamy bubble performance take place in the enchanting fairytale garden. The European-style castle is incredibly romantic under the autumn sunset, creating a truly Halloween atmosphere. We highly recommend taking some photos with the pumpkins!

Had a lovely time visiting Arashiyama Zoo! It was a fun and memorable experience, especially for animal lovers. The place has a charming atmosphere, and it was nice to see the animals up close. A great little stop to add to your Arashiyama trip, especially if you’re exploring the area at a relaxed pace. Overall, a pleasant experience and worth a visit!
