Hello everyone!! Sorry for the delayed post of my Japan Trip PART III :'))
Finally I managed to finish the last part of this trip... Japan is currently in Winter season till next year and I guess it's still a right time to introduce you a tourism place in Hokkaido that you may consider to visit if you plan to go Japan!
Hopefully I can back to Japan again as soon as possible *amennn*. As you know, I visited Japan last March with Emma because we won a blogging contest that hosted by Kawaii Beauty Japan x HIS! We visited Tokyo & Hokkaido for 6 days and 5 nights :D It was a great trip and I become more fond of Japan afterwards ♥ It was really a pleasant trip... I wish I can stay in Japan for at least a month, LOL :P

| Look at the happy kid that just met pile of snow for the first time! XDD |
Back in March, we barely saw snow in Tokyo, while in Sapporo we still can enjoy snow shower in the night and in the our way to Asahiyama Zoo. HIS was kind enough to provide us another winter tour in Sapporo ^_^ We departed from JR Sapporo Station Bus Terminal at 08.50 and we had to came to Bus Counter 20 minutes before departure. It means we had to wake up early to enjoy breakfast in ANA Hotel Sapporo.

Everyone was so excited with this trip ^_^ Japanese people always been so discipline, polite and behave in queuing, I really hope we Indonesians can take after Japanese's culture.

| Haiii cheese~ |
When we arrived at the location, we're pretty surprised because the zoo looked so quiet. Then I realized it's probably it wasn't school holiday period, that's why the zoo looked so quiet.

I have to admit that I didn't know that bento isn't allowed in this restaurant T_T I bought a bento from convenient store and ate it up inside the restaurant, while Emma trying lunch from this restaurant. My bento costed 399 Yen (after tax) and I was happy enough with this bento =)
The convenient store cashier will usually offer to heat up the bento if customer request it.
If I'm not mistaken, I bought this at Lawson :D
Drinking the free mineral water
Actually the meals from restaurant are sold quite pricey (it's a common thing in tourism place) for commoners like us LOL, because you can get a nice meal for 500 - 700 Yen in Tokyo XD but it's not a bad idea to order meals from here. Emma said the meals tasted quite nice. Later on, restaurant staff caught me finished my bento and he/she complained at me >_< Gommennasai~ I won't bring a bento from outside next time.
A cute photobooth :3 I want to bring home the polar bear gloves haha.
We're checking Mogu Mogu Time (Feeding Time) of the available animals. During Winter time, availability of the animals is quite unpredictable. For some reasons we didn't see Penguin and some of animals at that moment T_T Probably they were sick or unable to be seen, we didn't ask for the reasons to zookeepers though.

Asahiyama Zoo Information of Institution
As you can see, the zoo looked half dead and so quiet >__< Again, I guess it's because it wasn't school holiday season, because we didn't see school-age kids wandering in this zoo.
Asahiyama Zoo, a nationwide popular tourist site
This tour takes you to the Asahiyama Zoo where visitors can see the active lives of animals. There are the “Seal Aquarium” and the “Polar Bear Aquatic Park”, where you can observe closely. Ensuring repeat customers with “Orangutan Trapeze”, “Spider Monkey & Capybara”, “Chimpanzee’s Forest”, “Lesser Panda Suspension Bridge” , “Wolf Forest” and “Tancho-sha”, the Asahiyama Zoo takes an up-close look at their wild life.
The tour takes you from Sapporo to Asahikawa. Although it is a bit far, you can enjoy listening to the tour guide who reveals local trivia and introduces the scenic landscapes. Also, this tour is designed for tourists who want to spend more time visiting the Asahiyama Zoo, and a more relaxed schedule than other tightly-scheduled tours. This tour includes drop off at Sapporo Clock Tower, near Odori, Sapporo. Asahiyama Zoo 1 Day Tour is the perfect excursion to spend hours of adventuring.

Is it reindeer?
During winter time, all animals looked not so lively (they're too lazy to move their body LOL)
Snowwww everywhere!
This was my first time seeing snow, and this was one of my happiest moments in my life ^_^

This is the end of the tour. Unfortunately I couldn't see some animals due to some reasons, but this Asahiyama Zoo Winter Tour was still amusing and I was so happy with this tour ^__^
You can see the rest on my video below. Later on, we arrived again in Sapporo at around 18.30 and we decided to take some photos in front of Sapporo Clock Tower :D
We went for some shopping and it was snowing when we're about to back to our hotel :D :D
It was snowing quite hard and I got some decent photos hehe.
