Asahiyama Zoo Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, is the northernmost zoo in Japan and the zoo with the highest number of visitors in Japan. Who said that if you go to the zoo in winter, most of the animals will hibernate in groups behind closed doors? If you visit Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido on a snowy day, you will surely have fun. Cute penguins walk together in the snow, clumsy little raccoons crawl overhead and make faces, curious seals play by going up and down the glass pillars, and groups of monkeys cling to each other. The biggest feature of this place is that the animals can be kept in relatively free conditions, and the ingenious exhibits allow you to observe the animals up close.

Forest Elf Terrace Ninguru Terrace in Furano is a forest craft experience workshop inspired by the characters in So Kuramoto's novels (specifically, 15cm tall elves living in a big forest). The huts here are small shops selling unique accessories that are basically all handmade, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand painting, and crafts using dried lavender flowers from Furano. There's no second time here. The night lighting is very romantic.
