Descrizione
Discover the beauty of Hokkaido on a guided tour from Sapporo. Visit Asahiyama Zoo, see the Blue Pond, and explore Ningle Terrace.
Begin your journey in Sapporo and head to Asahiyama Zoo, Japan's northernmost zoo, known for its unique "action display" concept. See seals swimming through cylindrical tanks, polar bears diving, and get up close to red pandas, giraffes, and hippos.
Next, visit the Blue Pond in Biei, a man-made pond created by damming volcanic lava. Admire the pond's blue hue, which changes with the environment due to volcanic ash minerals in the water.
Continue to the Shirogane Blue Waterfall, a 30-meter waterfall located in the Shirogane Onsen area. Watch as the water cascades down like white whiskers, creating blue-tinted splashes.
Stop at Herb Garden in Furano for a short break. Purchase lavender souvenirs, such as fragrance sachets, essential oils, incense, horse oil, and moisturizing lotion, and try lavender ice cream.
Finally, visit Ningle Terrace, a forest craft workshop inspired by the 15cm fairies in the novel by writer Kuramoto Sou. Browse the small wooden shops selling handmade items, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand-painted paintings, and dried lavender products.
