Penguin Fun and Snowmobile : Sapporo Winter (Asahiyama Zoo) by Local Operator

Mr Hong was an excellent guide, very patient, friendly and considerate! Other guests might have known about the fact that cash was required for the snowmobiles, this would have made things smoother for everyone. Maybe announce this on the website so people know in advance? 30 minutes longer in the zoo would have been nice. Anyway, Mr. Hong did a great job ( even with those people who missed their own bus and used ours), he is very well organised and competent.

Our tour guide Mr Lin was very attentive and took care of all on board. As the group was mainly from Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, he spoke in Mandarin mostly. He also shared a lot of history, culture and practices in Japan, and recommended good food we could try. Mr Lin also shared tips on where we could take good photos and videos of the penguin walk at the zoo. It was a pity that there was traffic control at Ningle Terrace so we were not able to visit. We were brought to Takushinkan instead. Also due to heavy snow, it took longer to return to Sapporo after the day trip. Mr Lin was very nice;

L'activité est vraiment incroyable, les paysages sont fabuleux surtout en motoneige, un grand merci tout particulièrement au guide Mr. HONG qui a su répondre à nos questions, être chaleureux et amical, je recommande fortement !

We were disappointed with this tour. I wanted to say that the tour guide was good and certainly tried hard to be entertaining and helpful. However, the set of the tour is not worth the money. You hit each place along with thousands of other people at the same time and nothing is organised for this many people meaning that it’s chaotic and unpleasant. The second main stop is really just for the snow mobile riders and if you are not interested in that, it’s just over an hour of wasted time in a significant tourist trap. The tree and then stopping for ice cream mean that our stop at Ningle Terrac

The day was very well planned and we enjoyed a lot during this trip. The guide was highly professional and courteous.

As a must-visit in Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo exceeded all expectations! The penguin parade was absolutely magical—watching these cute creatures waddle across the snow made my kids scream with joy. The zoo is well-maintained, with clear English signage and friendly staff who happily answered our questions. Don’t miss the polar bear exhibit—their playful antics against the winter backdrop were unforgettable. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals! 5/5 stars without a doubt."

Had a wonderful experience! Great tour-guide Xiao Hong who spent a lot of effort to introduce the tour group to Hokkaido and each of the places of visit, and in 3 languages (Korean, Mandarin and English)!! Wonderful wonderful tour guide. Definitely highly recommended!

Our guide made sure we didn't miss the penguin parade, which was great. Such a fun winter day! The penguins at Asahiyama were so fluffy and cute, and the snowmobile was safe even for a first-timer. The driver gave us warm tea after the ride, such a nice touch.

Worth every yen! The penguin fun was the highlight, and the snowmobile checked a big bucket-list box. The pick-up from our hotel was totally stress-free.
