Overview

【Asahiyama Zoo】 Asahiyama Zoo is a highly renowned northern zoo in Japan, characterized by its natural behavior exhibits of animals. Every winter, the zoo hosts a penguin parade in the snow, where groups of penguins stroll across the snowy plains. Visitors can also get up close to polar bears, seals, and other Arctic creatures, making it an incredibly charming and unmissable animal viewing destination in Hokkaido during winter. 【Biei Christmas Tree】 A single spruce tree stands alone on the vast snowy plains of Biei, named for its resemblance to a Christmas tree. With snow covering the rolling hills, the solitary tree stands proudly in the silver-white wilderness. Its simple and clean snowy landscape makes it an iconic photo spot in Biei during winter. 【Shirahige Waterfall】 Shirahige Waterfall is located in the Shirogane Onsen area. In winter, the water freezes into an icefall due to low temperatures, with white icicles hanging down the rock face, resembling a white beard suspended in the mountains. Clear spring water flows gently through the ice crevices, appearing exceptionally dreamlike against the white snow, making it a highly representative natural landscape of Hokkaido in winter. 【Shirogane Blue Pond】 Shirogane Blue Pond is a mystical wonderland formed by volcanic activity. In winter, it is enveloped in snow, and the pond water displays a unique blue-green hue. Fallen snow covers the withered branches by the pond, and the interplay of ice, snow, and blue water creates a scene like stepping into a fairy tale world of ice and snow, perfect for taking photos.
