After having a lot of fun at the zoo, by the time we got back to Asahikawa Station, our stomachs were rumbling. Let's have some Asahikawa ramen for dinner. There are many Asahikawa ramen restaurants around Asahikawa Station. Each has a variety of ramen with their own unique flavor, but when you think of Asahikawa, you think of soy sauce ramen! The rich soup and hearty noodles will warm up your body that has been frozen by the cold of Asahikawa.

There are many nationally famous restaurants around the station, so feel free to drop in. With your stomach full, head to your lodging for the night.

Hotel Route Inn Grand Asahikawa Ekimae is conveniently located in front of the station and also offers hot spring baths. The hot spring water is from Tenjinkyo, which is slightly cloudy and popular because it keeps the water warm. There is also a large public bath on the 17th floor of the hotel, so you can enjoy the night view while relaxing in the hot water.

On the second day, we had a leisurely breakfast and then headed out to Kaimo Park! Kaimo Park is a pedestrian precinct stretching for about 1 km. There are restaurants and department stores, so let's enjoy shopping while strolling around!

About 30 minutes by bus from Bibai Station, we arrive at "Yasuda Kan Sculpture Museum Arte Piazza Bibai". Arte Piazza Bibai is an art museum that exhibits the works of world-renowned sculptor Yasuda Kan. Many of the works are exhibited outdoors, and the sculptures blend in with Bibai's nature. In winter, the surroundings are covered in snow, creating a different atmosphere from summer. There are also sculptures inside the museum, so you can take your time exploring the building.

Cafe Arte, located inside the facility, is a very spacious space, and the view from the windows is like a painting. It feels as if time is passing quietly here. While enjoying delicious potage and bread from Bibai, you will be captivated by the world of sculptures painted by Kan Yasuda.

Next, let's head to our final destination, Blue Cave Hot Springs Pipa no Yu Yurinkan.
