ZOO TRIPS · WINTER ACTIVITIES
Anywhere in the world, these are the 3 winter activities to put on a route: priced, timed, and clear about which ones need a slot booked weeks out.
Ride a heated bus from Sapporo to Furano and Asahiyama Zoo, with snowy stops at Ningle Terrace, Shikisai-no-oka, and the Ken & Mary Tree. Your guide, possibly Hong or Sunny, handles the day while you enjoy penguins, winter crafts, and an optional snowmobile ride.
“Hong is a great tour guide. clear and considerate. polite and mindful. keeps us up to date about travel plans.”
You’ll travel from Anchorage to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Alyeska Resort in a small group of up to 14. Expect winter scenery, wildlife, local commentary, and professional photos. Confirm the exact itinerary before booking, since the advertised tram and wildlife inclusions conflict with separate self-guided shuttle details.
“This excursion has been removed from Viator as available. Viator gave me incorrect information. Vendor was gracious and rescheduled us to a valid excursion that met our time schedule”
You’ll ride a heated bus from Sapporo to snowy Furano and Biei, see penguins at Asahiyama Zoo, browse Ningle Terrace, and photograph the Ken and Mary Tree. English and Chinese guides, including guides such as Mr. Hong and Mr. Lin, lead the day. Snowmobiling costs extra.
“As a must-visit in Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo exceeded all expectations! The penguin parade was absolutely magical—watching these cute creatures waddle across the snow made my kids scream with joy. The zoo is well-maintained, with clear English signage and friendly staff who happily answered our questions. Don’t miss the polar bear exhibit—their playful antics against the winter backdrop were unforgettable. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals! 5/5 stars without a doubt."”
Pick a kind of park, a ticket, or an animal.
