Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan, is renowned for its innovative approach to animal exhibits. Opened in 1967, it is one of the northernmost zoos in Japan and is celebrated for creating environments that mimic animals’ natural habitats. This allows visitors to observe the animals’ unique behaviors up close.
Some of the most popular features include the “Penguin Walk,” where penguins waddle around freely during winter, and the “Seal Aquarium,” with a glass tunnel that lets you see seals swimming from different angles. The “Polar Bear Pavilion” and the “Orangutan Trapeze” are also must-visit attractions. The zoo’s emphasis on education and conservation makes it a favorite for people of all ages.
It’s a perfect blend of fun and learning, offering an unforgettable experience in the snowy landscapes of Hokkaido!
