Overview

A day trip from Sapporo, capturing Hokkaido's most iconic scenery in one go 🚌 No need to change hotels or research transportation yourself; easily depart with the tour bus. Even first-time visitors to Hokkaido will feel completely at ease. 🐧 Asahiyama Zoo | Popular NO.1 Must-Visit Spot Unlike traditional zoos, Asahiyama is famous for its "ecological exhibits," allowing close observation of animals from multiple angles. The winter-exclusive penguin walk is the most popular. Polar bears, seals, wolves, and other animals are also very active, with many photo opportunities and ample visiting time, so there's no need to rush. 📸 Biei's Classic Photo Spots | The Car Window is the Scenery Drive past and check out Ken & Mary's Birch Road. The open fields and straight roads are among Hokkaido's most classic scenes; you can't help but want to snap a photo as you pass by. 🌊 Shirasu Waterfall & Shirogane Blue Pond The Shirasu Waterfall's water cascades down from between the rocks, shrouded in mist during winter. The Shirogane Blue Pond displays a unique blue hue, changing with the weather and light. It's even more stunning in person than in photos, an unmissable iconic attraction in Biei. 🌲 Slow Down in the Afternoon Enjoy free time at the Ningle Terrace or Farm Tomita. With small cabins, coffee shops, and souvenir shops, you can stroll around and take photos at your leisure, providing a comfortable end to the day's itinerary. "In case of temporary closure of Ningle Terrace, the guide will flexibly adjust the itinerary based on the actual situation of the day. Thank you for your understanding." ⚠️ Travel Notice August 8th – August 16th is the Obon holiday travel peak in Japan, which may lead to traffic congestion, large crowds, attractions closing early, or itinerary adjustments. Please do not book dinner, flights, or Shinkansen for the same day, and it is recommended to bring a power bank. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
