Wild Bird Watching Tour

Event Overview

The "Wild Bird Watching Tour" at Asahiyama Memorial Park offers a unique opportunity to learn about bird ecology within a lush, natural environment. Set against a stunning backdrop overlooking the city of Sapporo, you can enjoy the diverse bird species and their seasonal songs. This is a precious chance to feel the rhythm of nature up close.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The highlight of this event is observing birds in their natural habitat alongside expert guides. Listening to bird calls and spotting them in the wild is a meditative experience that helps you disconnect from daily life. Using binoculars allows you to see fine details and expressions that are invisible to the naked eye, deepening your connection to the wildlife. Since different species appear in different seasons, every visit offers a new discovery.

Tips for Participants

To get the most out of your bird watching, we highly recommend bringing binoculars or a camera with a high-magnification telephoto lens.
