unique zoo in Japan? Asahiyama Zoo is a great little zoo which is

Asahiyama Zoo is located in Asahikawa.
I first went to Asahiyama Zoo in the middle of a week of snowboarding
in deep powder in Sahoro. What a great week. But some of my friends
were getting physically exhausted from snowboarding too much.
Asahiyama Zoo had a outbreak of a contagious disease among its animal
population in the mid 1990s. The zoo had to close for many months and
attendance fell off a cliff. Thats when they got creative.
but im afraid that Asahiyama zoo is way behind the times- suprising
really considering its the most famous zoo in Japan....

Recently Asahiyama Zoo has displaced Ramen and skiing as Asahikawa's
primary draw card, in the process, becoming Japan's number one zoo.
In 1995, Asahiyama zoo undertook an ambitious redevelopment based on
the vision of the new director at that time Masao Kosuge. He and his
talented staff formulated enclosure ideas specifically focused on
exhibiting the animals' behaviour, not simply the animals themselves.
the entrance fee to Asahiyama Zoo has remained a fraction of zoo
prices in other parts of the world, making Asahiyama Zoo an affordable
and fun day out, all year round.
Asahikawa's Asahiyama Zoo is Japan's northernmost zoo. Due to the
popularity of the orangutan, penguin, polar bear, and seal exhibits,
it surprisingly drew the highest number of visitors (over 1.27
million) in Japan in 2004...more than Tokyo's Ueno Zoo.
Asahiyama Zoo has many different types of animal exhibits.
The orangutan exhibit.
This orangutan is actually carrying her baby high above us! The baby
is clinging to her chest.
The visit to Asahiyama Zoo was a great way to end a day of sight
seeing in and near Asahikawa. Tomorrow we have our first school visit.
We will visit Nissho Elementary School.
