What to expect
Sounkyo
Sounkyo is located at the foot of Daisetsuzan Mountain in Hokkaido. This grand canyon is covered with cliffs as high as about 100 meters. This is the terrain formed by the erosion of tuff rocks.
Ginga Waterfall
Galaxy Falls and Meteor Falls are two very famous scenic spots in Sounkyo. Meteor Waterfall pours down from a height of 90 meters between the cliffs. It flows down from a foot, but still does not lose its gentle temperament, so it is also called the female waterfall, and the two are collectively called the couple waterfall. In addition to looking at the waterfall along the side of the stream and feeling the momentum of the waterfall, you can also climb up to the waterfall viewing platform on the opposite side to enjoy the different scenes of the two waterfalls at the same time, reflecting the two waterfalls together with the green beauty of the mountains and forests. It is so beautiful and it is no wonder that it is listed as one of the top 100 famous waterfalls in Japan.
Asahiyama Zoo
When talking about the most famous zoo in Japan in the past, people would naturally mention the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. Now, when it comes to the most popular, it is the Asahiyama Zoo located on the outskirts of Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, Japan. The northernmost zoo in Japan had a total of 1,449,474 visitors in 2004, and the number of visitors in July and August even surpassed that of Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. Since the opening of the park on April 29, 2005, as of mid-September, the number of visitors has reached 1,317,815, making it the zoo with the largest number of visitors in Japan.
Otokoyama Sake Brewing Museum
With a history of more than 330 years, the original taste passed down from ancient times has given the sake of "Oyama Brewery" an important place in Japan.
Asahikawa Ramen Village
The ratio of the number of ramen shops to the population in Asahikawa is very high, so it is known as the kingdom of ramen. Among Asahikawa ramen, soy sauce ramen is the most famous, but there are also famous shops whose main product is salt or miso ramen, which are not uniform. The main content of the broth is tonkotsu (pork bones) and fish boiled, while the noodle soup is covered with a layer of oil to prevent the noodles from cooling down.
