Activity itinerary

Asahiyama Zoo
  • 1h 50m
  • Admission ticket included
08:00 — Depart from Sapporo Station North Exit Group Bus Stop Address: Kita 7 Nishi 3, Chuo-ku, Sapporo 10:30 — Asahikawa Asahiyama Zoo (Admission Included, approx. 110 mins, includes free time for lunch) Located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo is Japan’s northernmost zoo and one of the most visited in the entire country. Who says animals hibernate all winter and zoos become dull in the cold season? In snowy weather, Asahiyama Zoo transforms into a wonderland: adorable penguins take cheerful winter walks, raccoons clumsily climb above visitors’ heads, curious seals swim up and down transparent tunnels, and monkeys huddle together for warmth. The zoo’s most distinctive feature is its “behavioral exhibition” design, allowing animals to live in semi-natural habitats while visitors can observe them up close. (Penguin Parade is held from December to March, typically at 11:00 a.m. The schedule may change depending on snow conditions and weather; viewing is not guaranteed.)
Ken & Mary Tree (Pass by)
12:50 — Biei Biei Iconic Tree Route (Drive-by sightseeing only) (Note: This is a seasonal attraction. From April 1 – November 30, this stop will be replaced by Shirahige Falls.) Ken & Mary Tree Named after appearing in Nissan’s 1972 commercial “Love’s Horizon,” this tall poplar tree became a symbol of Biei’s romantic landscape. The ad’s couple, Ken and Mary, made this spot famous across Japan. Nearby stands a cute yellow triangular house surrounded by Christmas trees—an enchanting sight straight out of a fairy tale.
Blue Pond
  • 30m
13:40 — Furano Blue Pond (Approx. 30 mins) Located on the left bank of the Biei River, the Blue Pond was formed by a dam built to prevent volcanic damage. Its vibrant blue hue, caused by sunlight reflecting off mineral-rich volcanic sediments, makes it one of Hokkaido’s most magical sights—often called Japan’s “Little Jiuzhaigou.” In the early morning, the pond’s blue color is especially pure and breathtaking. The Blue Pond gained worldwide fame after being photographed by Kent Shiraishi for National Geographic, and later used by Apple as a default Mac wallpaper. Depending on the weather and light, the pond shifts between shades of turquoise, sapphire, and emerald—offering a new surprise every moment.
Shikisai no Oka
  • 50m
14:40 — Furano Drive past HERB GARDEN, and enjoy a complimentary local Hokkaido beverage. Shikisai no Oka (approx. 50 mins) (Note: This is a seasonal attraction. From April 1 – November 30, it will be replaced by Ningle Terrace, approx. 30 mins.) In winter, Shikisai no Oka becomes a snow paradise blanketed in pure white. Visitors can enjoy snowmobiles, sledding, and other fun snow activities—even beginners can join easily. You can also visit the alpaca farm nearby. The rows of trees stretching across the snowy hills resemble silent sentinels guarding the land, creating a minimalist, breathtaking winter landscape that makes visitors linger in awe. 15:40 — Return Depart for Sapporo and enjoy a pleasant journey back! 18:10 — Arrive at Sapporo Station North Exit Group Bus Stop (Return time may vary depending on traffic and weather conditions.)
