Asahiyama Zoo
Asahikawa Asahiyama Zoo has found a creative method of "behavioral exhibits" to bring out the best in each animal, and at the same time, by creating an environment close to that of the wild, the zoo encourages animals to relieve stress and show their active movements and the natural way they eat their food. The "Mogu-mogu Time" is a time for each animal to "munch" on its food.
The "Mogu-mogu time" differs depending on the animal, so we recommend that you visit during the "Mogu-mogu time". In addition, there are things that can only be seen during certain seasons, such as the orangutan's aerial walk in summer, the zoo at night, and the penguin walk in winter, making the zoo a place where visitors can enjoy and learn throughout the year without getting bored.
