[Hokkaido] 【Winter Fairy Terrace Illumination】Shikisai no Oka & Shirogane Blue Pond & Biei Christmas Tree Day Trip | Departing from Sapporo

**Asahiyama Zoo** Who says most animals close their doors and hibernate in winter when you go to the zoo? Visiting Hokkaido's Asahiyama Zoo on a snowy day is also a lot of fun! Cute penguins collectively stroll in the snow, clumsy raccoons climb overhead making funny faces, curious seals swim and play up and down in glass columns, and monkey groups huddle together for warmth. The biggest feature here is that animals are kept in a relatively free breeding state to the greatest extent possible, and visitors can observe animals up close through clever displays (this itinerary includes watching the penguin walk at 11:00 AM in winter) (the penguin walk is usually from mid-December to mid-March of the following year, subject to official announcements). **Forest Elf Terrace** Don't miss the dreamy Elf Terrace illumination when you go to Hokkaido in winter! Warm yellow lanterns in the snow, elf cabins hidden in the woods, and the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow make it a real-life ice and snow fairy tale! **
