Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa

Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa City is a representative tourist spot in Hokkaido, which opened in 1967. Known as the northernmost zoo in Japan, it is famous for many innovative exhibits, particularly its "behavioral displays," where visitors can observe the animals' natural abilities and behaviors. In the "Penguin House," you can see penguins swimming through an underwater tunnel, while the "Polar Bear House" features huge polar bears diving. Seasonal events such as "Night Zoo" in the summer and "Penguin Walk" in the winter are also held, making it worth visiting throughout the year. Many tourists from both Japan and abroad visit all year round, enjoying the close-up view of animals in their natural states. Additionally, "Mogu Mogu Time" allows visitors to watch the animals' feeding time, where their serious demeanor can be observed. The zoo has made efforts to bridge the gap between animals and visitors, and it also focuses on educational activities. As a result of these initiatives, Asahiyama Zoo boasts the highest number of visitors in Japan and has gained attention from around the world.
