● Takino Snow World
On the outskirts of Sapporo, Takino Snow World is the perfect place to enjoy Hokkaido’s winter to the fullest. Its expansive, snow-covered grounds offer activities for everyone from beginners to experienced winter sports enthusiasts, including snow tubing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The long tubing run is a particular favorite, drawing delighted cheers from children and adults as they glide down the slope. Beyond playing in the snow, winter nature walks offer a chance to breathe the crisp air and take in Hokkaido’s magnificent scenery.
　
● Moai Statues in the Snow and the Hill of the Buddha at Makomanai Takino Cemetery
Makomanai Takino Cemetery takes on an especially enchanting atmosphere in winter. Draped in snow, its rows of towering Moai statues seem even more mysterious, creating the sensation of stepping into another world. The Hill of the Buddha, designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, is another must-see (a separate admission fee applies)! Its striking concrete architecture blends beautifully with the snowy landscape, while the great Buddha sitting in silence leaves a lasting impression. Here, culture and art come together in a setting of solemn beauty found only in Hokkaido in winter.

The journey takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes, but your guide’s commentary makes the time fly! Engaging insights into Hokkaido’s history, the scenery outside your window, and local trivia add to the enjoyment of the journey.
　
On the way, we stop for a break at Sunagawa Highway Oasis, which brings together local specialties from across Hokkaido. Browse Oasis Plaza for famous sweets, local sake, and regional foods, or Soraichi Market for vegetables and other food products from the Sorachi region. It is an ideal stop for souvenir shopping.
　
Asahiyama Zoo’s creatively designed exhibits let you see animals behaving naturally. Watch seals swim up and down a cylindrical tank at the Seal House, marvel at spectacular dives at the Polar Bear House, and look up from an underwater tunnel at the Penguin House as penguins seem to fly overhead. There are 30 other animal enclosures, along with plenty of activities, including Mogumogu Time feeding sessions and talks by zoo staff. These close encounters with the animals make this popular zoo a favorite with returning visitors.
Come and meet the zoo’s lively residents on a comfortable, convenient Regular Sightseeing Bus tour!
