Join an enchanting journey into the winter wonderland of Hokkaido, experiencing a day filled with captivating sights and delightful activities. These include Japan's northernmost zoo, Biei Blue Pond, and Furano.

At Asahiyama Zoo, witness how the animals don't hide away during the cold season. See adorable penguins taking a stroll in the snow, and watch playful raccoons, curious seals, and cuddling monkeys. Animals are kept in a relatively free state, allowing you to observe them up close through clever displays.

Between April and November, visit Biei Blue Pond (Aoike), whose water reflects a mesmerizing shade of blue in the sunlight, and visit the roaring Shirahige Falls. From December to March, marvel at the famous trees of Biei instead, next to Four Seasons Hill which becomes a snow paradise in winter.

In Furano, you'll have the chance to play in the snowy landscapes and explore the enchanting Furano's Ningle Terrace. This unique forest is home to small shops offering you to purchase handmade treasures, including glass and paper crafts, as well as lavender-infused products.
