Asahiyama Zoo is an amazing experience that brings nature right to you. Located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, it is the northernmost zoo in Japan and specializes in cold climate animals. The zoo's fundamental concept is to show animals in natural enclosures and view them engaging in their natural behavior. It offers a unique opportunity to witness penguins swimming overhead, seals darting through a transparent tank called marine way, and polar bears playing and diving. Spectacular views can be seen from numerous windows and bubble domes around the park. On weekends and national holidays, special express trains are even decorated in a “zoo theme” with stuffed animals and play areas. Asahiyama Zoo is definitely worth the visit for anyone looking for a fun adventure in nature.
