Asahiyama Zoo Penguin Parade on the Snow Runway!

If you're planning a winter trip to Hokkaido, missing out on Asahiyama Zoo would be a huge mistake! Located in Asahikawa city, this zoo is a must-visit for lovers of winter animals, especially for its incredibly popular highlight! Penguin Walk - The Highlight! During winter (from late December to mid-March), when the snow is thick enough, the adorable King Penguins come out to parade along a designated path in the zoo! Feeling: It's like watching a fashion show of fluffy models confidently waddling on a pristine white snow runway! You can see the penguins strut their bellies up close without any barriers! Get your cameras ready—this is a golden moment for social media enthusiasts! Penguin Tunnel - Penguin House Even if it's not parade season, you can still enjoy a 360-degree penguin experience! The zoo features a glass tunnel that runs through the penguin pool, allowing you to look up and see them "flying" underwater clearly, as if you're diving with them! Cool Concept (Behavioral Exhibits) This zoo is renowned for its "Behavioral Exhibits," designed to showcase animals' natural behaviors. For example, seals swimming up and down a clear glass tube, polar bears diving into the water, or orangutans climbing tall poles. This new dimension of animal viewing lets you see their real lives up close and in the most exciting way! Check the Penguin Walk schedule, which usually happens 1-2 times a day (typically in the morning and afternoon). Be sure to check the official website or on-site signage to avoid missing out! Dress warmly as it's very cold. Wear winter-proof clothing and snow-resistant shoes to comfortably wait and enjoy the penguins!
