Daytrip Asahikawa And Mount Asahidake From Sapporo
Ohayou Gozaimasu,
A fantastic blend of natural activities and sightseeing, the perfect way to spend a day is to visit Asahikawa’s renowned zoo, enjoy sake and ramen, and then take a ropeway ride up to Mt. Asahidake’s Sugatami highland plateau.
The day commences with a two-hour drive to Hokkaido’s finest zoo – Asahiyama Zoo – which is famous for its imaginative enclosures and diverse range of both local and foreign animals. After visiting the zoo, we will proceed to a century-old sake brewery that provides free samples, followed by a scrumptious lunch.
Subsequently, we’ll drive an hour to the base of Hokkaido’s highest mountain, Mt. Asahidake, to board the ropeway to the Sugatami Highland Plateau.
Here, we’ll embark on an easy 1 to 2-hour nature trail among small ponds that lead to a series of steaming fumaroles (sulfur vents), where depending on the season, wildflowers, the earliest fall foliage on the island, or knee-deep snow may be observed. The day concludes with a visit to Asahidake Resort’s oldest onsen, featuring both indoor and outdoor baths.
Regardless of the season, this journey to the high mountains of Hokkaido is an unforgettable day trip.
