Asahikawa Zoo | Famous Tree | Shirahige Falls | Biei Blue Pond | Fairy Terrace

What to Expect

• Asahiyama Zoo
  A magical winter zoo experience. Watch penguins parade through the snow, red pandas being playful, and polar bears in their natural snowy habitat. A family favorite and a must-see during winter.
• Ken & Mary Tree
  This iconic tree, featured in a Japanese car commercial, is a popular photo spot surrounded by Biei’s beautiful rural landscape.
• Shirahige Falls
  “White Beard Falls” is a stunning waterfall flowing from volcanic rock cracks. In winter, the falls blend with snow and mist, creating a mystical view.
• Blue Pond (Aoi Ike)
  A surreal cobalt-blue pond surrounded by bare larch trees. Its otherworldly color is especially enchanting against the snowy backdrop.
• Fairy Terrace (Shikisai-no-Oka or Similar Scenic Spot)
  A breathtaking viewpoint that captures the wide landscapes of Biei and Furano—colorful in summer, serene in winter.
• Farm Tomita (Seasonal: June 15–September 15)
  Famous for its vast lavender fields and flower gardens. A dreamlike destination during flower season.
