- Asahiyama Zoo - Situated in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo is a cherished and distinctive wildlife destination in Japan. Celebrated for its creative and engaging animal habitats, the zoo allows visitors to closely observe animals in settings that replicate their natural environments. Highlights include the winter penguin walk, see-through tunnels in the polar bear and seal areas, and interactive displays featuring red pandas, wolves, and snow leopards. Open throughout the year, Asahiyama Zoo offers a delightful, educational, and memorable experience for families, nature enthusiasts, and wildlife lovers.
- Shirahige Falls - Found in the delightful town of Biei in Hokkaido, Shirahige Falls, meaning “White Beard Falls,” is a breathtaking natural marvel known for its elegant streams cascading from the cliff into the vibrant blue Biei River below. The falls originate from underground springs, creating a distinctive and otherworldly view, especially striking against the river’s bright, mineral-rich blue waters. Shirahige Falls is stunning all year, with winter providing a magical snowy backdrop and nighttime illuminations enhancing the enchanting scene. A favored spot for photography and a tranquil retreat into nature.
- Shirogane Blue Pond - Located in the scenic town of Biei, Hokkaido, Shirogane Blue Pond is famous for its enchanting blue waters that vary from light turquoise to deep cobalt, depending on the season and weather. This captivating color is due to natural minerals, particularly aluminum hydroxide, suspended in the water, scattering sunlight to create the pond’s vivid hue. Initially formed as part of an erosion control system after the 1988 eruption of Mount Tokachidake, the pond has become a symbol of tranquil beauty. Standing dead Japanese larch trees rise from the water’s surface, adding an ethereal touch to the landscape.
- Ningle Terrace - Ningle Terrace is a delightful forest village in Furano, Hokkaido, featuring a series of charming wooden cottages linked by illuminated boardwalks among towering pine trees. Inspired by the tales of Japanese writer So Kuramoto, this serene attraction offers a magical ambiance where visitors can explore handcrafted souvenirs, local art, candles, glasswork, and handmade crafts by local artisans. Particularly stunning in winter when snow covers the forest and lights shine through the trees, Ningle Terrace is an ideal spot for photography, leisurely walks, and experiencing the romantic side of Hokkaido’s natural beauty.
