Overview

Head to Asahiyama Zoo, situated in the northernmost region of Japan and renowned as the country's most popular zoo. Delve into a world of fascinating wildlife, where you can discover valuable insights into the zoo's dedication to safeguarding these creatures' natural environments.

Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, Biei Green Pond lies at an elevation of approximately 500 metres. This remarkable body of water boasts crystal-clear, azure hues, and its scenery undergoes breathtaking transformations throughout the year.

Shirahige Falls, characterised by a 30-meter drop and situated at an altitude of 600 metres, can be found within the Shirogane Onsen Village in Biei Town. Earning its moniker “White Beard Falls” due to the way its waters cascade from rocky crevices, creating a visual resemblance to white whiskers, this waterfall captivates spectators as it relentlessly pounds against the rocks.
