What you can expect

  • Kick off your adventure with a scenic drive to Asahiyama Zoo, where you’ll enjoy plenty of free time to wander at your own pace.
    You’ll also spot Hokkaido-native species like red pandas and foxes, thriving in forest-like spaces that mimic their wild environments.

    Departing from the zoo, your bus will pass by the Ken & Mery Spot. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery right from your seat.
    There is no need to disembark—you can still take in Hokkaido’s iconic landscapes: rolling green hills, expansive dairy farms, and distant mountain peaks.

    Next, head to Shirahige Waterfall. Stretch your legs with a short stroll to the waterfall’s viewing platform, surrounded by lush forests and crisp mountain air. Afterwards, continue to Shirogane Blue Pond, a postcard-perfect spot famous for its crystal-blue waters (a result of natural mineral deposits). Capture photos of its striking hue, which glows brightest in soft, diffused light.

    Shirogane Blue Pond is one of Biei-cho’s most renowned natural wonders. Its extraordinary cobalt-blue waters look like a precious sapphire inlaid in the forest, a unique hue created by sunlight reflecting off tiny aluminium particles suspended in the water. Calm blue ripples spread gently through the trees, painting a poetic picture at every turn.
    Our final destination is the whimsical, fairy-tale-like Ningle Terrace. a charming, fairy-tale-like spot dotted with tiny wooden cabins and adorable elf plushies and figurines—ideal for quick photos and picking up small souvenirs.Important Note:If Ningle Terrace is temporarily closed due to unforeseen circumstances (including Japanese weekend/holiday schedule adjustments, traffic restrictions, etc.), we will revise the itinerary and provide an alternative attraction option for your visit to ensure an exceptional travel experience for you.

    After the final stop, begin the return journey to Sapporo. marking the end of your tour.

    Important Notes
    Schedule Flexibility: The itinerary may be adjusted due to bad weather, road conditions, or unforeseen changes to attraction hours. Your guide will provide real-time updates if modifications are needed.
    Punctuality: The tour bus departs on time to avoid delaying the group. Please arrive at your chosen meeting point early to complete check-in smoothly.
    What to Bring: Wear comfortable walking shoes (for the zoo and waterfall trails) and layered clothing—Hokkaido’s weather can change rapidly, even in summer. Bring a camera, a reusable water bottle, and cash for meals or souvenirs.
