Want to collect the most healing winter scenery and diverse fun of Hokkaido in one go? This classic one‑day Furano and Biei tour perfectly combines animal encounters, exhilarating snowfield experiences, fairy‑tale wooden hut hideaways, and relaxing farm time — moving beyond the monotony of sightseeing to let you immerse yourself effortlessly in Hokkaido's exclusive winter charm. Ideal for first‑timers and family trips alike.

The first stop of the tour is Asahiyama Zoo, Japan's northernmost zoo! Unlike the static observation of traditional zoos, this zoo pioneered the "action display" concept, creating a variety of dedicated play equipment that allows animals to play and run freely, showcasing their vibrant natural state in every way. Say goodbye to the dullness of caged viewing, capture animals' lively moments up close, and let both adults and children feel fully soothed while gaining a deeper insight into the charm of northern wildlife.

Next, head to the fairy‑tale‑like Biei snowfields, where the vast, boundless white plains stretch to the horizon, dotted with scattered farmhouses and trees — every frame is a stunning postcard scene. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, immerse yourself in the purity and tranquillity of the northern winter and admire the breathtaking silver‑white landscape set against the Tokachidake mountain range.

The exclusive winter highlight is the fun experience at Chiyoda Farm in Biei! Choose the snowmobile activity to speed across the snowfield, enjoying the thrill of speed and the magnificent mountain scenery on the pristine white snow. You can also interact up close with alpacas, black‑faced sheep and adorable foals, unlocking a soothing farm experience. Pair it with the rich and fragrant Jersey milk for a taste of Biei's exclusive winter flavour. *Depending on the day's visitor flow, the farm visit may be flexibly changed to Shikisai no Oka for sledding and snow activities, admiring the vast snow‑covered field scenery.

The tour concludes with a visit to the dreamy Ningulu Terrace, where wooden cabins and boardwalks hidden deep in the forest feel like a fairy‑tale hideaway. Each unique wooden hut displays Hokkaido handicrafts — seed art, snowscape paper cuttings, snowflake ornaments and other artisan treasures — full of local charm, perfect for a leisurely stroll, photo‑taking, and picking out special souvenirs.

*In case of severe weather or capacity restrictions, the visit will be changed free of charge to Takushinkan Gallery to admire Hokkaido's stunning landscape photography and stroll through the white birch corridor.

Winter is peak tourist season in Hokkaido, and long queues are common at attractions and restaurants. We recommend carrying some light snacks to keep your energy up and save waiting time, making your full day of snowfields, animals, farms and hidden gems more relaxed and comfortable — the perfect way to collect Hokkaido's exclusive winter memories!
