Asahikawa Station is a JR Hokkaido station and the gateway to northern Hokkaido, served by the Hakodate Main Line, Soya Main Line, Furano Line, and Seihoku Main Line.
JR Inn Asahikawa” and “AEON MALL Asahikawa Ekimae” are directly connected to the station on the north exit side, making it convenient for lodging and shopping. On a fine day, it is fun to take a walk along “Asahikawa Heiwa-dori Shopping Park,” a pedestrian-only path leading straight from the front of the station. Incidentally, it takes about 40 minutes by bus from the rotary in front of the station to the famous Asahikawa Asahiyama Zoo.
