  • Sunagawa Service Area (砂川サービスエリア), located along the Hokkaido Expressway in Sunagawa City, is one of Hokkaido’s most popular and well-equipped highway rest stops. It offers a wide variety of local gourmet foods, souvenirs, and amenities that make it a destination in itself, not just a pit stop. Travelers can enjoy regional specialties such as Hokkaido soft-serve ice cream, locally made sweets, and fresh seafood bento boxes. The area is clean, spacious, and features scenic views, a large parking area, clean restrooms, and a dog park. It's also known for its seasonal decorations and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and refresh during your journey through central Hokkaido.
  • Asahiyama Zoo
    Asahiyama Zoo, located in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, is one of Japan’s most popular and innovative zoological parks. Famous for its unique, interactive enclosures, the zoo allows visitors to observe animals in ways that mimic their natural behaviors. From the glass tunnels of the penguin enclosure to the vertical viewing tubes in the seal habitat, guests can enjoy close-up views that are both educational and exciting. The zoo is home to a wide range of animals, including polar bears, red pandas, wolves, and native Japanese species. Open year-round, Asahiyama Zoo also features special seasonal events like the popular winter penguin walk, making it a must-visit for families, animal lovers, and travelers of all ages exploring Hokkaido.
  • Nestled in the picturesque hills of Biei, Hokkaido, the Seven Stars Tree is a solitary oak that has become an iconic symbol of the region. Its fame dates back to 1976 when it was featured on the packaging of the Japanese cigarette brand "Seven Stars," earning it its distinctive name. Located along the scenic Patchwork Road, the tree stands amidst rolling farmlands that display a vibrant tapestry of colors throughout the seasons. This itinerary is a car view.
  • Shirogane Blue Pond
    Located in the tranquil town of Biei in Hokkaido, Shirogane Blue Pond is a stunning natural wonder famous for its surreal, otherworldly blue color. The pond’s vivid turquoise hue is caused by natural minerals in the water, which reflect sunlight in a way that creates a mesmerizing effect, especially under clear skies. Standing dead birch and larch trees rise from the still surface, adding an eerie yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant water. Originally created as part of an erosion control system following a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Tokachi, the pond has since become one of Hokkaido’s most iconic scenic spots. It changes appearance with the seasons—from bright, almost neon blue in summer to a mysterious silver-tinged blue in winter—making it a must-visit for photographers and nature lovers alike. Easily accessible by car or local bus, Shirogane Blue Pond is a peaceful stop perfect for sightseeing, short walks, and capturing unforgettable photos of Japan’s natural beauty.
  • Shirahige Falls
    Shirahige Falls in Biei, Hokkaido, is a unique and scenic waterfall flowing from underground springs over rocky cliffs into the vibrant blue Biei River. Known as "White Beard Falls" for its cascading white streams, it's especially stunning in winter with snowy landscapes and evening illumination. Located near Shirogane Onsen and the Blue Pond, it’s a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers.
  • Iwamizawa Service Area (Southbound) on Hokkaido’s Do-o Expressway offers travelers a comfortable stop with local dining, souvenir shops, clean restrooms, and family- and pet-friendly facilities. It’s a convenient and pleasant break between Sapporo and Asahikawa.
