Sounkyo, within Daisetsuzan National Park, is one of Hokkaido's most spectacular gorges. Carved by the Ishikari River through lava plateaus of the Daisetsuzan massif, its vertical cliffs soar over 100 meters high and extend for some 24 kilometers, making it the largest gorge in Hokkaido. In spring and summer, visitors can stand face-to-face with two magnificent waterfalls — Ginga no Taki (Milky Way Falls) and Ryusei no Taki (Meteor Falls) — each plunging over 100 meters. In winter, the Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival illuminates breathtaking ice sculptures every night, drawing visitors from across Japan. A ropeway from Sounkyo Onsen carries visitors up to the seventh station of Mt. Daisetsu, where the world of Hokkaido's highest alpine peaks unfolds.

Asahiyama Zoo

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...
