About this activity

Hokkaido's winter is a love letter written to the world, an encounter with pure white and azure blue.

Route Overview: ① Asahiyama Zoo - ② Popular Ken & Mary Tree (drive-by) - ③ Shirahige Falls - ④ Shirogane Blue Pond (Biei Blue Pond) - ⑤ Forest Fairy Terrace

Highlights: ① [Asahiyama Zoo]: Asahikawa is home to Japan's northernmost zoo and is one of the area's unique features. Asahiyama Zoo focuses on cold-climate animals. The zoo has carefully created an environment that closely resembles the natural habitat, providing a comfortable environment for over 700 animals of 124 species. In winter, you can watch the super-cute penguin parade. ② [Ken & Mary]: "Ken and Mary's Tree" is famous for the simple scenery that appeared in an advertisement. In 1972, Nissan Skyline's commercial "A Journey Without a Map" used a huge poplar tree as a scene in the hilly area of Biei, where the filming took place. The tree became a popular tourist spot after the advertisement aired and was named "Ken and Mary's Tree" after the actor's roles. ③ [Shirahige Falls]: Admire the stunning winter waterfalls. It is especially spectacular when the hoarfrost and shiny icicles illuminate the blue ice valley below. ④ [Shirogane Blue Pond]: Its greatest feature is the Tiffany blue color of the pond water, combined with the white withered branches in the pond, which has also been praised by many netizens as "God accidentally spilled the paint palette." ⑤ [Forest Fairy Terrace]: This place is like a scene from a fairy tale book, a wooden path surrounded by trees, with more than a dozen warm wooden houses dotted on both sides.
