No. 8 of Family-friendly Attractions in Japan

Asahiyama Zoo

Asahiyama Zoo is located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, and is a highly popular zoo in Japan. In the 1990s, it was on the verge of closure due to a sharp decline in visitors. However, with the concept of "behavioral exhibits," it regained popularity: the enclosures are designed according to the animals' natural instincts, allowing them to exhibit instinctive behaviors in a near-natural state. Visitors can observe them up close and unobstructed. The zoo summarizes this philosophy as "conveying life." The themed exhibition halls in the park each have their highlights. The seal pavilion features a large vertical cylindrical tank at its center, where spotted seals swim up and down - circling the tank allows full viewing, and they occasionally press against the glass to gaze at travelers. In the polar bear pavilion, polar bears tumble and dive in a massive pool, creating an impactful sight through underwater glass panels. The penguin pavilion's underwater tunnel is a signature attraction, where visitors can look up to see penguins gliding overhead like birds. At the orangutan pavilion, orangutans perform "skywalk" on ropes between towers over ten meters high, representing a classic animal behavior display. Every snowy winter, penguins walk in groups along outdoor snow paths, waddling past visitors—a signature program that has continued for years. The zoo also features feeding sessions with on-site guides, during which the animals are particularly active. After entering, check the daily schedule and allow ample time to explore at leisure.
