    Asahiyama Zoo was one of the stops I was really looking forward to on this trip. The best thing about the zoo is being able to observe the animals' natural, lively behavior up close. The penguins, polar bears, and seals in particular each have their own charm and are impossible to take your eyes off.

    Visiting the zoo with children makes the trip even more enjoyable. Watching the penguins swim leisurely through the water and the seals glide around with ease, the children always stopped excitedly to watch.

    The zoo is full of surprises at every turn. It's a place where both adults and children can have fun and make wonderful memories.

    Asahiyama Zoo is known for its “behavioral exhibits,” where you can see penguins, polar bears, seals, and other animals up close in a natural way. The zoo is well laid out and both fun and educational. It’s great for families with kids, but it also leaves a strong impression on adults. Definitely one of the must-visit spots in Hokkaido.

    The way it runs around looks kinda goofy, but honestly it’s insanely cool. The moment it jumped into the water, everyone was gasping.

    There are lots of cold-climate animals at this zoo. The penguin parade only happens when it's cold and there's snow on the ground.

    The king penguins and polar bears are the stars of Asahiyama Zoo. It gets really cold if you stay outside for a long time in winter, though.
