Asahiyama Zoo is located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. It is the northernmost zoo in Japan and has become the most popular zoo in Japan. Who said that most animals in the zoo are close to visitors during winter? Visiting the Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido on a snowy day is definitely fun: cute penguins walk together in the snow, clumsy little raccoons crawl around overhead making faces, curious seals shuttle up and down the glass columns and play around, monkeys. The group clings to each other for warmth.The biggest feature here is to ensure that the animals can be kept in a relatively free state to the greatest extent, and through clever displays, visitors can observe the animals up close.
[13:20] Biei
From April 1st to November 30th, tour will visit Biei Aoike (about 30 minutes)
Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam built to intercept volcanic magma. Under sunlight, the water in the pool will reflect blue, giving it its name. Aoike was once photographed by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi. The work was later acquired by Apple and became one of the default desktops of the MAC series. The water of Qingchi has rich minerals and sandy components from volcanic ash. Under the sunlight, Qingchi will display various colors with subtle changes in the environment. You never know what he will show you at the next moment, which makes people full of expectations.
Remark!Let's follow [tourist etiquette] together and visit the town of Hillside Biei!
The pastoral scenery of Biei is a unique landscape created by farmers cultivating delicious crops.
However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of tourists who have accidentally entered farmland to take pictures of beautiful scenery. This movement not only harms the crops, but also tramples on the hard work and sweat of farmers. Therefore, please adhere to the following tourist etiquette and let us preserve the original beauty of the countryside together.
a. When taking photos, please "step back" and stand on the asphalt road to capture the view. In this way, the blue sky, white clouds, and fields can be included in your frame.
b. When tourists enter the farmland to take pictures, please "speak out" to stop them and remind them: "Sorry, please don't go into the farmland."
[14:05] Furano
From April 1st to November 30th, go to: Shiragu Falls (about 15 minutes)
The Shirakane Falls in Furano, Hokkaido, has a drop of 30 meters and an altitude of 600 meters. It is located in the Shirogane Hot Spring Village of Biei Town. It is named "Shiratsu Falls" because of the white beard-like water pouring down from the cracks in the rocks. The water gushing from the ground beat against the rocks and stirred up blue waves. Here you can enjoy beautiful mountains and clear waters in summer and white snow in winter. You can enjoy the sharp contrast between the two seasons.
[14:50] Furano
Free ice cream or hot drink when passing through HERB GARDEN
Hot drinks (pick one of two):Specialties of Hokkaido corn soup or hot tea
Ice cream(choose one from three): cream ice cream,Furano Specialties Lavender ice cream, or cantaloupe ice cream
Forest Elf Terrace (about 30 minutes)
Ningle Terrace in Furano is a forest handmade experience workshop inspired by a character in the novels of Japanese writer Satoshi Kuramoto (to be precise, a 15cm elf living in a large forest). The cabins here are small shops one by one, selling unique small goods, basically all handmade, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand paintings, and crafts made of Furano’s dried lavender flowers. Each shop is small and exquisite, and everything is sold only here and there will not be a second one. The lights in the evening are very romantic.

This app made it super easy to reserve a space and time for our trip to NYC. We usually take the train, but needed a car this time. I usually hate looking for parking, so I tried to find a garage near our hotel. When I found that there was one just a block away I went to their website and saw that they had this app. It was super easy to set up and I found a space and was able to adjust the time and complete my transaction from creating an account to having a full parking space reservation in about five minutes. Unfortunately I ended up having to cancel my trip about a week early so I requested a refund and it was instant with no hassle. I think in general, from now on I’ll just use this app to see if there are other parking garages by the same owner, and reserve spaces in those (if I ever have to bring a car back to NYC - I still like the train better). The only 2 things things that I would wish for are: 1. That they had an option to add the parking pass to your Apple Wallet so I just need to bring up a code on my phone when I get there and they scan it. 2. They allowed you to add a previously booked guest reservation to your current account. I started on the web with the reservation and then got the app and wanted to add the reservation to the app, but couldn’t. I kept the app and will now use it from now on instead of checking out as a “guest” from now on. Overall, a great app.
Bardzo dobra cena kupiłem ze sporą zniżką polecam
Easy to book and cheaper than price at counter. Got the ticket on my mobile within minutes.
Made a last minute pivot in our plans and was able to easily secure tickets at a much lower cost. Highly appreciated and highly recommend! Thank you!
The process to purchase and use our tickets was easy. It saved us a substantial amount of money too. Very happy with my experience, I'll be using this site again.
I recently booked my tickets through Passforless, and I am highly impressed with their service. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free, making it incredibly convenient to secure our tickets. The booking was processed quickly, and we received our online tickets almost immediately. I would highly recommend Passforless to anyone looking for a fast, efficient, and reliable ticket booking service.

Easy, less expensive than other passes and a great view from the ESB
Satisfied, easy transaction.
It was easy, fast and valuable for the money I paid. Thanks a lot
Absolutely great booking experience. I ordered three tickets for the observation desk at the Empire State Building N.Y. The price was 50 USD cheaper than the official price. However, my ordered time slot had to be changed. The communication with the customer service was speedy and efficient. So no worries. Looking forward to our trip. Thank you passforless!
Booking was seamless and there were no issues with Entry to Empire State Building
