Asahikawa is the second-largest city in Hokkaidō prefecture, boasting a rich culture, beautiful landscapes and an assortment of exciting attractions. The city has easy access to Daisetsuzan National Park, known for its spectacular wildflower fields, hot springs, and exquisite wildlife. With a rental car, you can comfortably navigate the scenic routes of this mesmerising area.
Japan drives on the left-hand side of the road, just as in the UK, but some road signs might be unfamiliar. The zebra crossings are replaced with blue road markings, and pedestrians have priority. Speed limits are generally lower than in the UK, ranging from 40-60km/h (25-37mph) in cities and up to 100km/h (62 mph) on expressways. Heed these rules for a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
Economy cars are recommended for city driving due to their compact size and fuel efficiency. However, if you're keen to delve deeper into Hokkaido's awe-inspiring nature, a 4WD vehicle should be your choice, allowing better handling of snowy or mountainous terrains.
Home to over 700 species, Asahiyama Zoo is a must-visit. Here, you can witness animals like polar bears and penguins in enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitats.
Experience a unique winter wonderland throughout the year at the Hokkaido Ice Pavilion. Don't miss their spectacular frozen displays and interactive exhibitions.
If you're up for an exciting day trip, drive south to the mesmerising Blue Pond of Biei, a natural gem that's nothing short of magical.
Parking in Asahikawa is generally easy to find with multilevel car parks throughout the city. Fuel stations are well distributed and are mostly self-service, accepting credit cards or cash payments.
Asahikawa Airport is about a 30-minute drive from the city centre and provides car rental services. Asahikawa Train Station is centrally located and car rental outlets are conveniently available nearby.
Dive into the adrenaline-pumping Winter Festival, marvel at the sakura bloom during spring, or delight in the famed Hokkaido melon in the summer. Whatever the season, Asahikawa offers a unique experience to its visitors. Just remember to budget for tolls on expressways and keep a change for those tasty road snacks. Happy driving!
