Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover the zoo and a riverside bridge in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Asahikawa Airport is in neighbouring Higashikagura, separate from the city destinations in this guide.

This guide covers places within Asahikawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
