Japan's Northernmost Zoo
Located in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, offers an unforgettable opportunity to experience the intelligence, natural instincts, and vibrant lives of its animals up close.
Guided by its philosophy, "Our mission is to convey the value of life," the zoo has been thoughtfully designed to encourage animals to display their natural behaviors, allowing visitors to observe them in an environment that closely reflects the wild.
At the Seal House, a unique 360-degree cylindrical aquarium lets seals glide effortlessly right before your eyes, offering an incredibly close view of their graceful movements and sleek coats.
During winter, don't miss the beloved Penguin Walk, where adorable penguins waddle across the snow, creating one of Hokkaido's most iconic seasonal experiences.
Listen to the haunting howl of wolves echoing through Asahikawa's crisp air, or watch orangutans confidently cross a skywalk suspended 17 meters above the ground. Every encounter reveals the remarkable strength and beauty of wildlife.
Another highlight is Mogu Mogu Time, the daily feeding program led by experienced keepers. Through engaging commentary and close-up feeding sessions, visitors can gain a deeper appreciation of each animal's unique behavior and the vitality of life itself.
The zoo is located on a hillside. Please watch your step.
