Asahiyama Zoo came to Hokkaido this time and specially set aside time for the Asahiyama Zoo. Asahikawa is not too far from Sapporo, you can choose a day tour group or go on your own. Its easier with the group, but its a little longer, and Ive missed the penguin walk in the morning when I arrived at the zoo. So I chose the second way. Take the express train from Sapporo Station, arrive at Asahikawa Station in about 90 minutes, then take the route bus for about 30 minutes. Drive to the zoo. You can buy the tickets for the express and bus tickets at the Sapporo Station Visitor Center in advance, but I lost the return bus ticket when I was at the zoo. I can only buy tickets again... Also, If you are landing in Hokkaido and the first purpose is the zoo, you can take the bus directly from Shin-Chitose Airport and arrive at Asahikawa City in about three hours. This will give you more time to go to the zoo the next day. The accommodation in front of the station is more affordable than Sapporo. In addition to the penguin walk, the zoo has many activities. In the summer, there is a special night zoo open day, other photography classrooms, story reading sessions, etc. that lead everyone to take pictures, some need to register early. There are several catering and selling stores in the park, and the content provided is not the same. If you are interested, you can buy it first.
