Itinerary





Asahiyama Zoo is famous for its "behavioral exhibits" that bring out the natural movements of animals, and "symbiosis exhibits" that recreate the natural habitats of wild animals.
See the natural abilities and movements of lively animals up close. It's sure to be enjoyed by both children and adults.

The fairytale-like scenery reminiscent of the European countryside is a wonderful place where you can discover another side of yourself. Enjoy the rolling hills from the train window.

Instead of sightseeing from the train window, you can get off the train and enjoy taking photos at your leisure.
If you choose the plan without lunch, Please prepare your own meals or order ramen, udon, gyudon, etc. separately at the restaurant. (If you purchase them locally, please pay locally.)

*If you would like to eat all the melon you want, please select the all-you-can-eat melon plan.

The Blue Pond is an impressive, beautiful cobalt blue that you will never forget once you see it.
It was suddenly created on the Biei River during disaster prevention construction work, and is a mesmerizing, mysterious blue world. It is said that
the water is blue because the Biei River mixed with the groundwater of the waterfall, creating a colloidal state. Another fascinating feature is how the blue color changes depending on the time, weather, and the color of the surrounding trees.

A waterfall with a drop of about 30m that falls into the Biei River like a white beard. It is one of the rare waterfalls in Japan, where groundwater falls from cracks in the lava layers, creating a "submerged explosion."
The contrast between the white waterfall flowing down and the cobalt blue that spreads over the water surface is beautiful, making this a spot where you can feel the power of nature.
