Thanks for watching! It's near Asahikawa Medical University, isn't it? I'm not a student, but I enjoy walking around here because there are many schools and residential areas, making it a quiet place.

きれいな所でした！

I've been here before, and although I've never had authentic Taiwanese food, I remember it being good. I know there are two locations in the city, but it seems there isn't much detailed info...

Thanks for your comment! I’m glad if the information about these shops is helpful.

おかず多くて満足度高いので何度も行きたくなるお店ですよね！

ありがとうございます🙂

Thanks for watching! I hope your daughter's fun student life.🙂

Thanks for watching! A convenient place for playing is "Kitasaito Garden," located behind Asahikawa Station. As long as there's enough snow, there's a continuous walking path along the river. (As you continue, you'll eventually reach the science museum.) And ・Tokiwa Park ・Kaguraoka Park are also relatively nearby and recommended, accessible by foot or bus. Other parks include "Mominoki Park" or "Shunkodai Park," where you might encounter squirrels and deer. However, there are occasional reports of bears, so it's not recommended to visit these parks when it starts snowing...

@@saiba. thanks for the recommendations! Due to climate change, I’m afraid there might not be snowing in asahikawa during second week of December hence I’m looking for places where there are higher chances of snowing near asahikawa other than Biel and furano. We are staying in asahikawa for 3 nights and don’t mind traveling a bit further in public transport to reach nearby town Also, do you have any recommendations for private car hire that we can engage for a half day Biel scenic tour? There are 4 of us.

I see. Throughout Hokkaido, Horokanai Town might be a good choice, although you may need to transfer along the way. It stands out for its abundant snowfall.⛄ However, be aware that it is a small town with few tourist spots, and it takes about 2 hours to get there one way... For rental cars, I personally recommend "AG Rent-a-Car." Although their office is a bit far out in the suburbs, they offer competitive prices and a shuttle service (including to the airport), so you won't find it inconvenient.

@@saiba. I see.. will probably visit Horokonai if there is really no snow nearby asahikawa. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up! ^^

I've heard this region has an especially high number of birch trees, even for Japan. There might be some folklores about it, but I think it doesn't seem to be very common.

Next time, plan to visit for 10 days for Hokkaido.😁Actually I didn't know that Sake has become popular overseas. You should try the sake tasting here! I came by car, so I couldn't try them...

@@saiba. I have visited Hokkaido 3 times in the past 2 years so I have seen plenty of the beautiful island. My wife had a short conference in nearby Higashigawa so we only had a short time in Asahikawa. She's a bit afraid of the cold and it was January so it was cold. I actually like it. You can get a wide variety of excellent sake now in California but the price is at least double the price in Japan and is often more than that.

The winters here are indeed very cold, but I'm glad you like it. Next time, be sure to bring back some sake from here for yourself.🍶

常盤通周辺は散策しがいのある景観が多く私も気に入っています！

Yea, they are discussing which bar to go to.😁 Asahikawa used to be so crowded with people that you might bump into them, but now, as you can see, locals like me feel a little sad...

当時のサンロク街は活気も相当だったと思いますので、そのころを知っていると今の様子は大分寂しく見えるかもですね…。ご視聴ありがとうございます！

I'm also wondering about it...

Thanks for watching!🙂 In Asahikawa, the first snow usually falls between late October and November, so there's a high chance of seeing snow in early December. From mid-December to just before Christmas, snow is almost guaranteed!⛄ However, I have to say the snow sometimes melts in early December... If you definitely want to play or dive into a significant amount of snow, you might consider visiting also Biei Town, a nearby town about 30 minutes away by car or train, which is closer to the mountains. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

@@saiba. Thank you so much for your kind reply :) Yes, we are definitely going to Biei for a day tour, so hopefully will be able to play in the snow! Might join the local half day bus tour if possible since it’s our first time going to Biei. By the way, do you have any local recommendations of places we can go in Asahikawa? We are staying for 3 days 2 nights and we had been to the zoo before in 2019. I’m looking for not so touristy places ☺️

This city is not a large city, so you might already be familiar with many of its spots. (Especially ramen restaurants!) But if I can recommend a bit beyond the city center, you'll find the following spots. ・Kamuinomori Park ・Shunkodai Park ・Clover - Tamura Soft Serve (Ice cream shop, nearby the airport) ・Ayako Miura Museum & forest (might be able to meet squirrel or deer) ・Takasagodai Manyonoyu ・Takasago Hot Spring ・Road Station & Museum ・Sanbankan Mall (some old Japanese style goods) The following restaurants are well-known among the locals, but I think we don't see many people from overseas there. ・Machiya (Creative cuisine izakaya, in city center) ・Maruichitei (Tonkatsu) ・Hanachan (Fried squid leg rice bowl) ・Hachiya (Ramen) ・Asahi mochi-ten (Mochi shop, in Asahikawa Ginza street) ・Asahikawa Oshironokoi Sushi ・Dandelion (Pastry) ・Rokkatei Asahikawa Toyooka (Confectionery) ・Tsuboya Kibana no mori (Confectionery) ・OLIVE (Jumbo portion) ・Namonai Ramenya - "Nameless Ramen restaurant" While it's a bit of a distance from the city center, most of them can be reached without changing buses. My personal choices gathering some lesser-known spots, but I hope it helps!😄

@@saiba. A very Big Thank You for taking the time to reply me with the list. Really appreciate it!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’ll definitely do some research on these places and see which ones are the most suitable for my family. Thank you! 😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks! The Biei and Furano areas have many scenic spots, so I'd like to visit them more times.😃

Thanks! For some reason, the scenery differs quite a bit between the front and back sides of this station, so I think it's worth exploring. This time it was during the day, but especially in the evening and later, the back of the station is quite different from what we would expect in the city center.🚶

I'm glad you liked it!

Come visit again!🙂

Thanks! Come and enjoy Asahikawa!

Thanks for your comment & cheering up! Both within and outside the city, there are still many places that have not been visited yet, so I'll continue to introduce various locations.🙂

Thanks for watching! Actually, it's sad that we can't see snowy cityscape for a while, but it's really too cold for living.😵In that sense, I'm looking forward to the warm season. (And after a few months, I'll say the opposite of what I said...)

@@saiba. I know exactly what you mean; Sounds just like me 😉

Thanks for watching! Because I like DQ, I'm happy I could go to collab event like this.😄

Thanks for watching! It's surprisingly warmer than usual these days. We don't need to dress heavily already in daytime.🌞

Thanks for watching! As you say, we have opportunities to play in the snow every winter since childhood. Every children in this city like to play snowball fight, make a snowman, dive, slide down, and scolded for eating snow by teacher or parents.🥲

@@saiba. ......... and scolded for eating snow by teacher or parents. Yes, I remember that from my childhood 😁😁😁

ありがとうございます。昔ほどの活気はありませんが、夜のサンロク街は探索のしがいがあります。

Yeah, because winter festival will be held in February. (This year until Feb 12) So it looks like christmas lights, but in fact it's just lights.😅

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you know the shrine. It's just a little far from city center, but I recommend theese places because they has especially different beauties from season to season.😄

Thanks for your comment!

welcome@@saiba.

Thanks for watching! There are lots of izakaya bars & restaurants that I can't choose one most favorite around the area. If I get the chance, I wanna introduce other places too.😄

Thanks for watching! Normally we visit cemetery in August, so the place feels like a completely different place in winter.⛄

Thanks for watching and the link! I've never seen the frozen scenery without snow! It's so different in Netherland. In Hokkaido, winter is also the season we have to shovele snow almost every day. I'm jealous other place's winter.😯

I'm glad you liked it! I got lucky with great weather on this time.🌞 And thanks for letting me know about the fox, I've adjusted subtitle a little.(The fox was hard to see because it overlaps with the subtitles at the bottom of the screen...)

I'm glad you enjoy it! I think I would like to try more things to shoot video of other scenes next year. Have a happy new year!🌄

Thanks! Dziękuję za oglądanie!🙂

Thanks for watching & your comment! I'm so glad you like this place.😀Next year, I think I I'd like to extended the scope of my activities and explore Biei & Furano and share the beautiful sceneries. (Besides, I'll post one more short video in this year!) Have a happy new year!🌄

@@saiba. That sounds like an excellent initiative ! 👍👍👍

Thanks! I'm happy you had fun.🙂

I'm glad you like visiting Hokkaido and hope you come again! Actually, I'm always careful not to be a suspicious person on busy street or bus stop.😁

メリークリスマス! We can enjoy just looking because the vibes are nice in this season!😁 Just really cold and slippy...

We might've passed by each other without knowing.🙂

Thanks for watching! You should come!😀

@@saiba. I'm sure that one day in the near future I'll be enjoying a bowl of shoyu ramen in one of the many great eateries in Asahikawa again !! 🤗
