[Asahiyama Zoo]

Japan's northernmost and most distinctive zoo. It is famous for its "behavioral exhibits," allowing visitors to observe animals in their most natural states up close.

The clear stream of the waterfall flows into the famous Blue Pond, forming a stunning landscape of blue and white. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a nature explorer, you can leave unforgettable memories here.

[Ningle Terrace]

Nestled deep in the Furano forest, this whimsical wooden house village was designed by the famous screenwriter So Kuramoto. More than a dozen cozy wooden houses are scattered along forest trails, each run by local artists selling original works such as handicrafts, glass ornaments, and aromatherapy candles. When night falls, the lights illuminate the entire forest, creating a secret realm where forest elves reside. Lush greenery in spring and summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and white snow in winter – each season has a different romantic charm.
