Explore More About Asahikawa:

Asahikawa is famous across Japan as it is known for being the coldest city in the country and sits on the scenic but the less-visited island of Hokkaido. If you plan to visit in the winter months, make sure that you wrap up warm as the record is a low of -41°C which happened in 1902, although it doesn’t usually get quite that cold every year.

As you would expect, however, the cold climate here lends itself well to a range of outdoor winter activities such as skiing, and some of Japan’s best slopes are located on the edge of town.

In addition to cold-weather sports, you will also find a range of other things to do in Asahikawa such as visiting its famous attractions like zoos, breweries, and craft villages.

This is a great place in Japan to get out of doors and explore the city on foot, and if you are in town in the summer months then you can expect warmer temperatures and a riot of color when the cherry blossom blooms in the spring.

Walk along Romantic Road

The charmingly named Romantic Road is a road that is made up of a tree tunnel that takes you all the way to the famous Kaguraoka Forest. The road is so named as it consists of trees that line the street and have grown to form a pretty green tunnel that bursts into bloom in the spring and summertime.

The road is also famous for being the location of several wedding chapels which only adds to its romantic appeal and this makes it a great place to visit if you are in Asahikawa during the spring and summer seasons.

Take a Bus Tour

One of the best ways to see Asahikawa is to join a bus tour, and you can do just that on the Sightseeing Bus Fun Fun which has three different routes around the city.

The bus offers a hop-on-hop-off service so that you can tour the main attractions and either stay on the bus and view them from afar or jump off when you see something of interest.

Buses make the tour every hour and this can be one of the cheapest ways to get around Asahikawa and see most of the main sights quickly if you don’t have much time to go out and explore.
