Overview

Discover the winter wonders of Hokkaido on this thrilling day trip from Sapporo. Begin your journey with a visit to Asahiyama Zoo, Japan's northernmost zoo and a winter favourite. Spend around 1.5 hours exploring the zoo, where the animals thrive in the cold. Watch penguins take a charming snow walk (from December to March), seals swim through glass columns, raccoons playfully climb, and monkeys huddle for warmth. If the zoo is closed, alternative attractions will be arranged.

From April to November, explore Biei’s Blue Pond with its vivid blue waters and Shirahige Falls, known for its striking white streams cascading down rocky crevices. From December to March, visit the iconic Ken & Merry Tree and enjoy winter activities like snowmobiling and sledding at Four Seasons Hill, a snowy wonderland perfect for beginners.

End your day at the enchanting Ningle Terrace in Furano, a charming village of wooden chalets and shops inspired by Japanese author Satoshi Kuramoto.
