Asahiyama Zoo

The reason why Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa City attracts numerous visitors from both Japan and abroad is its unique "behavioral exhibits," which allow people to observe animals in their natural state. The zoo's greatest feature is its environment designed to showcase the abilities, behaviors, and characteristics of various animals. Through "behavioral exhibits," visitors can observe animals as they would behave in the wild. This method involves keeping the animals in environments that closely resemble their natural habitats, minimizing stress and encouraging them to display their natural instincts and behaviors.
