Biei Shirogane Blue Pond is characterized by its mysterious cobalt blue water surface, which looks different from season to season. The blue color is believed to be due to the reflection of light from the aluminum in the spring water. The blue color is especially special on sunny days, and the surrounding white birches and conifers reflected in the pond create a beautiful contrast. It is a healing spot surrounded by rich nature and tranquility.

Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, is one of Japan's leading zoos and is famous for its “behavioral exhibits” that bring out the natural behavior of the animals. There are many attractions to visit. The Penguin Pavilion, where you can see penguins swimming freely in the water from a 360-degree perspective, and the Seal Pavilion, where you can get up close and personal with seals as they pass through a transparent vertical tunnel, are popular with tourists from around the world. The Polar Bear Pavilion, where you can observe powerful polar bears swimming and playing, is also a must-see. The many exhibits and explanations that show love for the animals make this a spot where children and adults alike can learn and be moved by the animals. This zoo is worth visiting not only for sightseeing, but also for a special experience with the animals!
