Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido, Japan, kicked off its charming annual “Penguin Walk” on December 11, with 15 adorable king penguins waddling along a 500-meter snowy path, delighting visitors as they parade down the designated course.
This winter tradition, started in 2002 to get the penguins to exercise during the winter, has become a popular event among visitors as they get to see the king penguins up close.
The event is held twice daily at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., giving visitors the chance to catch these charming penguins parading through the zoo until mid-March, when the snow melts.
