Asahikawa is my favourite Hokkaido Town with Ueno Farm, Asahikawa Zoo, and more! Day 4 of 16

hey let me show you why Asahikawa is my favourite place in Hokkaido a perfect balance of attractions things to do as always food and so much more alright let's go remember this hotel Amanek Asahikawa is situated right next to the Shinkansen Station and it has the best buffet breakfast at its price to kick off our day 4 in Japan after a hearty breakfast breakfast we travelled first to Ueno Farm then Asahikawa Zoo then back to the city to get to Ueno Farm take the train to Sakuraoka Station and a short scenic walk to get to Ueno Farm starting as a rice farm the owner gradually made it a paid attraction by adding a variety of flowers trees and greens turning the entire place into a whimsical garden make sure you grab a map and follow the recommended route which takes at least two hours climb the small hill to reach the swing and also the rainbow chairs on top of the hill my favourite spot is this magical gnome garden surrounded by the prettiest purple flowers this garden itself is already worth paying this place of visit such an amazing place and check out this busy bee not to mention all the other cool spots of this farm perfect for families in the beautiful summer season if you just want to take a slow next we booked the taxi to save some time to the nearby Asahikawa Zoo to our surprise the best zoo in Hokkaido cost only 1,000 yen or around $10 we got there just in time for the feeding of two full grown fluffy Arctic polar bears so cool first time seeing them up close after that we watched the feeding of the three playful seals the trainer throw fishes around the pool and they will dashed towards their breakfast I love it especially when they swim through the vertical glass so cute next door we have the Penguin House home to some emperor penguins and little penguins these happy feet are hilarious they just gathered around the cleaners working at the arresting spot fun fact do you know they can nap up to 1,000 times a day some other notable animals include the lazy king of the jungle some fat Japanese cat fluffy super rare red panda with a pretty chill trainer a clumsy but cute brown bear many cool birds two hippos doing something family of chilling doflamingos super active gang of monkeys cool artificial habitat by the way and so much more our favourite is definitely the white handed Gibbon feel free to pause the video and read this and watch and listen to this isn't it amazing they are so loud so quick and we are so lucky to see them climbing all the way up to the top this zoo definitely exceeded our expectations 10 out of 10 what do you think after walking the entire morning we treat ourselves at one of the oldest restaurants in the area Sukiyaki Sankousha as the name suggests we got to taste the traditional A4 Wagyu beef sukiyaki lunch banquet oh my god just look at that marbling if you don't know what this is it's essentially a sweet hot pot with vegetables with thin slices of beef cooked and dipped into raw eggs trust me you must eat this in Japan 10 out of 10 recommended if you are ever in Japan oh I will be back after sending our luggage by Yamato Transport we took the Shinkansen back to Sapporo for dinner we have been wanting to eat at one of the most hype Kaiten sushi or conveyor sushi in Hokkaido Nemuro Hanamaru at Stella Dining the place is vibrant and more luxurious than any other kaiten sushi place the variety of sushi here is out of this world but not worth waiting one and 1.5 hours for this good thing we used the time to do some shopping here at Daimaru make sure to shop for some anime stuff only available in Japan what do you think of Day 4 do you think Day 5 will be better don't forget to shop at GU a sister company of Uniqlo but cheaper check out my full video showing more from Ueno Farm and Asahikawa Zoo subscribe and turn on the notification bell to follow my full itinerary for the entire north of Japan from day 1 to day 16 see you tomorrow
