Great Stuff to See and Do!
Japan’s northernmost zoo that continues to evolve in order to provide the best experience possible
Asahiyama Zoo is a facility that has pioneered behavior exhibits where you can view animals as they are naturally. You will be captivated by the natural behavior of the animals. The zoo also boasts seasonal creative exhibits and events.
For example, in the orangutan house open in the summer, you can see the mighty orangutans crossing between 17-meter-long towers.
In addition, a highlight of the winter season when snow piles up every year is the “Penguin Walk.” Bundle up and enjoy!
Don’t miss the hit event “Chewing Time”!
Another feature is the detailed explanations by the staff of different behaviors and traits of predatory instincts of various animals, which you can see in their natural state as the animals eat during “Chewing Time.”
