Located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo is Japan's northernmost and globally renowned zoo. It is widely recognized as the pioneer of "behavioral exhibits," designed to showcase the natural instincts, abilities, and behaviors of animals rather than just their appearance. The park features innovative facilities that bring visitors eye-to-eye with the animals, such as the Penguin House where they glide through the water like flying, and the Seal House with a vertical tunnel. In winter, the famous "Penguin Walk"—originally started to keep them active—attracts visitors worldwide as they adorable waddle across the snow. Filled with love and ingenuity, this northern wonderland offers new discoveries with every visit.
