▲ Hokkaido one-day tour: Nature and animal journey | Depart from Sapporo Meet penguins at Asahiyama Zoo, pass by the poplar trees from the movie set, explore the cool mist of Shirahige Waterfall, immerse yourself in the magical blue hues of Shirogane Blue Pond, and conclude perfectly amidst the lavender fragrance of Farm Tomita.
▲ Asahiyama Zoo Japan's northernmost zoo, famous for its "behavioral exhibits," offers unique activities like watching polar bears play in the water during summer. The zoo's design allows visitors to observe animals in their natural habitats up close. Don't miss the cylindrical tank in the seal exhibit, where you can watch seals swim in 360 degrees.
▲ Ken and Mary's Tree A landmark from the movie "If You Are the One," these two poplar trees stand quietly in the center of a wheat field. In summer, the lush green waves of wheat create a picturesque view with the trees. Passing vehicles often slow down to allow visitors to enjoy and photograph the scenery.
▲ Shirahige Waterfall This unique forest waterfall features milky white water due to its special mineral composition. The summer mist creates a refreshing atmosphere, while the observation deck offers panoramic views of the entire cascade. The surrounding tranquil trails are perfect for short walks.
▲ Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) This blue-green pond was formed by special minerals, with submerged dead trees and reflections creating a unique view. A wooden viewing deck surrounds the pond, offering diverse visual effects as the light changes throughout the day.
▲ Farm Tomita A renowned tourist farm famous for its lavender fields, where the purple blooms create a spectacular sight in summer. Visitors can purchase unique farm products here, with lavender-flavored specialty cold drinks being a must-try. The meticulously designed flower cultivation areas make perfect photo spots.
