- Asahiyama Zoo - Start your day tour by meeting your driver in Sapporo. Travel to Asahiyama Zoo and spend around 2 hours exploring and enjoying lunch. Asahiyama Zoo, Japan’s northernmost zoo, is a must-see in winter. Unlike many other zoos, the animals here remain active during the cold season.
Witness charming penguins strolling in the snow (from December to March), playful raccoons climbing to make faces, curious seals moving up and down in the glass column, and monkeys cuddling to stay warm. Notice: If Asahiyama Zoo is closed, the tour guide will adjust the attractions based on on-site conditions. Please check the official website to confirm the zoo’s closure dates.

Ken & Mary Tree - Ken & Mary Tree (Drive-by sightseeing only)
(Note: This is a seasonal attraction from Dec. to Mar.)
Named after its appearance 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, a charming yellow triangular house surrounded by Christmas trees creates an enchanting fairy tale scene. -
Blue Pond - Furano
Blue Pond (Approx. 30 mins)(Note: This is a seasonal attraction from Apr. to Nov.)
Situated on the left bank of the Biei River, the Blue Pond was created by a dam built to prevent volcanic damage. Its striking blue color, caused by sunlight reflecting off mineral-rich volcanic sediments, makes it one of Hokkaido’s most magical sights.
-
Shikisai no Oka - Shikisai no Oka Furano(Note: This is a seasonal attraction. From Dec. to Mar.)
Drive past HERB GARDEN, and enjoy a complimentary local Hokkaido beverage.
In winter, Shikisai no Oka transforms into a snow paradise covered in pure white. Visitors can enjoy snowmobiles, sledding, and other fun snow activities—even beginners can easily join. You can also visit the nearby alpaca farm. The rows of trees stretching across the snowy hills resemble silent sentinels guarding the land, creating a minimalist, breathtaking winter landscape that captivates visitors.
-
Shirahige Falls - Shirahige Falls (seasonal attraction from Apr. to Nov.)
Shirahige Falls in Furano, Hokkaido, is a 30-meter waterfall at 600 meters elevation in Shirogane Onsen, Biei Town. Its name, “Shirahige” (White Beard), comes from water cascading down rocks like a beard. The spring water creates bluish splashes. In summer, the area is lush and green; in winter, snow covers it, offering a stunning seasonal contrast. -
Ningle Terrace - Ningle Terrace Forest (Approx. 30 minutes)
Ningle Terrace in Furano is a forest craft workshop inspired by a character from a novel by Japanese author Sō Kuramoto—a tiny forest elf about 15 cm tall. The terrace features small wooden cottages, each a shop selling unique handmade items such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand-painted artworks, and crafts made from Furano lavender. Each shop is small and exquisite, offering items exclusive to this location. In the evening, the lights create a romantic atmosphere.
Please note that due to on-site management restrictions or frequent winter traffic incidents, access to Ningle Terrace may be unavailable on the day of your visit. In such cases, to ensure a safe and smooth itinerary, this stop will be canceled. Thank you for your understanding.
