Asahikawa, the most low-key city in Hokkaido, don't miss the penguin walk when you travel in winter

Just like traveling to the Kansai region of Japan, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara will choose to play together; the same is true for Hokkaido, Otaru, Sapporo, and Asahikawa are also three different styles of cities that everyone often strings together. Compared with the romance of Otaru and the prosperity of Sapporo, Asahikawa is much more restrained and low-key. Asahikawa, a city with only more than 80 years of history, is the second largest city in Hokkaido after Sapporo, and it is a friendly city with our Harbin city, which is a big hit this winter; the first hotel opened by the Hoshino Group OMO series in Hokkaido is located in Asahikawa, OMO7 Asahikawa. OMO7 Asahikawa is located at 9-chome, 6-jo-dori, Asahikawa City, 950 meters away from JR Asahikawa Station, a 15-minute walk. The hotel looks like the red brick building of Tokyo Station, with a total of 237 guest rooms, ranging from single, double, and even five-person rooms, which can accommodate different types of guests. Walking into the hotel lobby, the birch tree stumps reflect a strong forest style, the rest area and the reading room are all decorated with solid wood, and you feel a sense of comfort that can calm down. The hotel's rooms are also a rare design in Japan, with two beds placed in an L shape, making the double room much more spacious. The elevated bed frame can put the suitcase underneath. The just right desk, even if the girlfriends eat a bowl of instant noodles here, it feels much warmer, as if returning to student times. The breakfast restaurant OMO7 Cafe&Bar on the first floor of the hotel, the breakfast variety is very rich, there are traditional Japanese breakfast, and Western waffles, etc., it is definitely the best supply station for your full day! At OMO7 Asahikawa, OMO Ranger will take you on a city exploration journey themed with food and wine. Starting from the grocery store and cafe near the hotel, the fragrant coffee will make you linger here for a long time; when you are tired, find a small restaurant, eat some local specialties, drink some wine (in Asahikawa, even young women can drink freely, the public security here is very good), on the way back to the hotel, OMO Ranger will also take you into the local supermarket, listen to them explain the local products of Asahikawa, remember to bring your wallet. In Asahikawa, in addition to city walks, Asahiyama Zoo is the first window for many people to learn about Asahikawa, so don't miss it. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to and from Asahiyama Zoo during the winter season, which is only available for hotel guests. Departure time in the morning: OMO7 Asahikawa departs at 10:00 and arrives at Asahiyama Zoo at 10:30 Return time in the afternoon: Asahiyama Zoo departs at 14:00 → OMO7 Asahikawa arrives at 14:30 Asahiyama Zoo departs at 15:30 → OMO7 Asahikawa arrives at 16:00 Of course, Asahikawa is not limited to these places, Asahidake Daisetsuzan, Blue Pond, Snowflake Museum, Ramen Village... are all places you must not miss on your Asahikawa trip.
