Showashinzan Bear Ranch

Toyako Top 3 in Can't Miss Attractions

I went to the bear ranch on the 16th of this month. This ranch is relatively ordinary from the outside. I went to the special product store. I heard the guide introduce that there is a horse oil that is only available here, and the price is not cheap. In addition to horse oil, there is also bear oil. The surrounding food toys and so on of the bears are dazzling. You can see the bears after passing through. A pack of biscuits will be distributed before entering, and then fed to the bears. There are about 6-7 areas inside, and the number of bears is about 40. -50 heads. In addition, you can go to the basement to observe the bears up close and have a good time

Since Showa 18, that is, since 1943, Mt. Usu, located on the shore of Lake Toya, has undergone many volcanic activities, which caused the bottom layer to bulge and form a new mountain named Showa Shinzan. This is one of the two active volcanoes of Lake Toya. The white smoke emitted from the mountain is the source of the clouds and mist of Lake Toya. This mountain is located on the south bank of Lake Toya. The bay to the south is the Pacific Ocean and Lake Toya is to the north. There are ranches at the foot of the mountain to raise bears, which are roughly similar to Noboribetsu Bear Ranch, but it’s closer to the people. Bears are better bred, and they will be eaten by tourists...

It feels that the scenery is average, and the only fun is to feed the bears. In order to eat the biscuits, the brown bears will make various fun actions. The main purpose here is not to watch bears, but to buy horse oil, buy horse oil, buy horse oil!

Friends who like animals suggest to check out the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch, which is small in size and has a large number of compact bears. Each age group has a bear biscuit vending machine. Two packs of biscuits start at 200 yen. You can also prepare some fruit cakes. Peanuts are fed to brown bears. Remember to go to the front desk of the hotel to collect the discounted tickets.

The Bear Ranch in Showa Shinzan is a place where most tourists come to check in, and some day trip tourists will also have lunch here. Personally, I think it’s just so-so, just a bear zoo? The scale is relatively small. There are bear biscuits and apples that can be fed to the bears. There is also a grocery store at the entrance, which mainly sells skin care products and best-selling snacks. Horse oil and a touch of water are much more expensive than the ones sold outside, but they are not the same brand, uh~ hard to say~
