00:00Asahiyama Zoo is huge as compared to other winter zoos I visited.

00:13The time allotted for this trip is just sufficient.

00:16The problem is that a hefty number of animals were not put in their cages for the public

00:20to see.

00:21Shirehish Falls was mind-blowing.

00:23Less than 3 this is my fav part of this itinerary, so I kinda felt like 20 minutes wasn't enough.

00:30B.A. pond was just so-so.

00:31I wasn't amused nor hated it.

00:34It was just frozen all over with a blue lead light hitting the pond.

00:37I'm curious as to why we had to spend 10 more minutes in here than in the falls.

00:42One thing I didn't like was that we were situated at the back of the bus.

00:45The view was obstructed, we weren't able to enjoy the mountain views during the

00:49It was a good experience overall especially when you don't drive in Hokkaido.

00:53The guide spoke mostly Japanese and had some simple English phrases.

00:57It was great that everyone came and departed on time, making it a seamless experience.

01:04Tour was fun, the timing at each location was just nice.

01:08The fields were so pretty, and the lavender ice cream is a must to try.

01:12Tour guide was nice and accommodating to our needs, also told us about some landmarks while

01:17we were on the way to the Blue Pond and the Farah.

01:19It was convenient to travel good places The guide is very detailed and has English.

01:23If you booked in correctly the first time, you can actually get a refund.

01:29Highly recommended, driver and guide give their best to serve us.

01:33On time, just perfect.

01:35We able to see penguin walk and back to meeting point on time.

01:38Shirehij waterfall so amazing, Blue Pond so so.

01:43This tour is worth the value.

01:45Went to three places and the timing was reasonable.

01:48Just take note that the tour guide is in Japanese and limited English translation.

01:53When on vacation we do not like rushing.

01:56We want that we had adequate sleep and we enjoy our breakfast.

01:59This was the reason that we got this tour since the start is at 10.55 am, unlike other

02:04tours which usually starts at 7-8 am.

02:06I went at the end of November 2023, chose the tour time at 10 am and arrived at Asahiyama

02:14Zoo at 12.30.

02:16Allow time to stay until 1500 hours.

02:19Recommended to go see the polar bear show 1300 hours very good.

02:23From the zoo continued to Shireh Gain waterfall until 16.20, the view is very beautiful as well.

02:28And then great tour to visit the zoo.

02:30Though, some of the animals, especially the wolves, just looked plain sad.

02:35The swimming walk was definitely the highlight.

02:38The waterfall after was great to see but the blue pond was a let down, a frozen lake with

02:42dead sticks poking out with blue light shining on it.

02:45The tour guide did her best to explain it all in English but the details were definitely

02:49more comprehensive in Japanese.

02:52A good chunk of the day is on the bus so I really liked the swimming style of the polar

02:55bear when catching the fish thrown by the zookeeper during his lunch.

02:59I had to wait almost one hour, because feeding time was around 11 am, can see the timetable

03:05at entrance, to be able to see and record them jumping into the water to catch the food

03:09that was thrown.

03:10Truly extraordinary.

03:12After that, went to the Pinkan area to see the penguin eating and swimming, really cute.

03:18Even though it was raining since morning, we were very lucky to be able to see many animals

03:22at the zoo.

03:23You can see orangutan, the ring-tailed lemur and squirrels, etc.

03:27Some of them seem sad and stressed.

03:30The squirrel moved back and forth as if to damage the wire of the cage that confides the

03:33birds.
